Abstract: This paper presents a mechanistic analysis of the occurrence and extent of premature cracking in jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCPs) by modeling (1) vehicle–pavement interaction, (2) foundation voiding, and ...

Abstract: The feasibility of protecting tall buildings against progressive downwards collapse following catastrophic structural failure at high level is explored and various design suggestions made.

Abstract: This paper discusses key principles for the development of material property information management software systems. The growing need for automated material information management is fueled, in ...

Abstract: The effects of heavy vehicles with leaf-spring and air-spring suspensions on the dynamic response of short-span highway bridges are considered in this paper. The dynamic bridge responses are calculated by modeling the ...
