RISCollapse Study of an Unreinforced Masonry Bearing Wall Building Subjected to Internal Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A blast test was conducted inside a conventional, two-story, unreinforced, brick, bearing wall building scheduled to be demolished. A credible explosive device was placed inside the building on the ground floor and was ...
Laminated Glass Curtain Walls and Laminated Glass Lites Subjected to Low-Level Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Linear elastic and nonlinear elastic analytical investigations are reported for a nearly conventional, laminated glass curtain wall with split screw spline mullions subjected to low-level blast loading. Responses (dynamic ...
Exploiting the Equilibrium Matrix to Ensure the Geometric Stability of Planar Trusses
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Equilibrium can be used to determine the geometric stability (kinematic determinacy) of a structure. For initial (conceptual) design, analyzing a structure’s equilibrium matrix first eliminates the added computational ...
Drexel University’s Architectural Engineering Program: Evolution of the Curriculum during the First Five Years
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The initial curriculum of Drexel University’s Architectural Engineering program evolved considerably during the first five years—academic years 1986–1987 to 1991–1992—leading up to its initial accreditation by ABET in 1992. ...
Blast Testing of Cold-Formed Steel-Stud Wall Panels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cold-formed steel-stud walls have been utilized as an attractive option for blast-resistant design due to the combination of high strength and ductility that enable them to absorb and dissipate blast energy through large ...
Properties and Dynamic Behavior of Glass Curtain Walls with Split Screw Spline Mullions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recent terrorist events have underscored the importance of designing glass curtain walls as engineered systems. For most building owners, however, it is usually an unjustifiable expense to have a curtain wall designed to ...
Blast Testing of Cold-Formed Steel-Stud Wall Panels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cold-formed steel-stud walls have been utilized as an attractive option for blast-resistant design due to the combination of high strength and ductility that enable them to absorb and dissipate blast energy through large ...
Blast Testing of a Cold-Formed Steel-Framed Building with a Roof Truss System: I. Design, Characterization of Blast Pressures, and System-Level Response
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the design and measured response of an instrumented 5.49-m×4.88-m single-story cold-formed steel (CFS)-framed building with CFS gabled roof trusses subjected to open-arena blast testing. Although extensive ...
Blast Testing of a Cold-Formed Steel-Framed Building with a Roof Truss System: II. Component-Level Response
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the measured responses of components—blast wall, shear walls, deep beam and bottom chord bracing, and a roof truss—of an instrumented full-scale cold-formed steel (CFS)-framed building subjected to ...
Structural Identification and Damage Characterization of a Masonry Infill Wall in a Full-Scale Building Subjected to Internal Blast Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Structural identification continues to develop an expanding role within performance-based civil engineering by offering a means to construct high-fidelity analytical models of in-service structures calibrated to experimental ...
