Abstract: This paper examines the nonlinear stress-strain behavior of lightly stabilized granular base materials and presents a method to predict them based on modified and extended Ramberg-Osgood expression from unconfined compression ...

Abstract: Various prediction models have been developed to predict the creep and shrinkage in concrete. Experimental studies to measure the creep and shrinkage in concrete have also been carried out by researchers and reported in ...

Abstract: The isolation bearings are widely used in earthquake prone areas to protect the structure from seismic forces. The isolation bearing consists of an isolator to increase the natural period of the structure away from the ...

Abstract: In precast large-panel multistory buildings, prefabricated jointed panels form the shear wall to carry the lateral loads due to wind, etc. The in situ vertical and horizontal joints form slip surfaces and the interaction ...

Abstract: A strain rate dependent material model for concrete has been proposed for analysis of three-dimensional reinforced concrete structures under transient dynamic loading. The model takes into account the pressure sensitivity ...
