Abstract: To prevent damage caused by corroding reinforcement, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars have been used in place of steel in a relatively small but increasing number of structures in civil infrastructure. A ...

Abstract: A methodology will be presented to predict the complete history of flexural deformations in composite prestressed concrete and steel beams from inception to the end of service life, which will include a prediction of beam ...

Abstract: Time-dependent flexural deformations for composite and noncomposite prestressed concrete beams and steel–concrete composite beams, which are subject to various loading and unloading events, are predicted based on several ...

Abstract: A generalized model that can be used to determine service level electric overhead traveling (EOT) crane skewing forces for the design of crane runways is proposed. The model has various characteristics that address ...

Abstract: Failure sampling is a structural reliability method based on modified conditional expectation suitable for complex problems for which reliability index–based approaches are inapplicable and simulation is needed. Such ...
