Abstract: A numerical investigation of wall pressures generated by bulk materials stored in hopper-silo combinations is presented. Emphasis is placed on incipient flow type pressures on inclined hopper walls. The technique used ...

Abstract: This paper presents some of the results of a study involving the ultimate and postpeak capacity of composite concrete-steel plate walls subjected to transverse and longitudinal loading. The main application of these composite ...

Abstract: This paper presents a test program on full-scale reinforced slender shear connected cavity walls subjected to an eccentric compressive loading. A total of nine walls were tested. All specimens were constructed with a ...

Abstract: Current practice for structural design of environmental concrete structures such as water reservoirs and sewage treatment tanks follows one of two philosophies. The tanks are either fully prestressed or non-prestressed. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of the second phase of an ongoing investigation into the behavior of tall cavity masonry walls constructed with partially grouted and reinforced concrete block wythe and a burnt brick wythe ...

Abstract: This paper presents the construction, verification, and utilization of a finite element model for longitudinally stiffened large diameter fabricated steel cylinders subjected to bending. The model is based on a large ...
