Abstract: Analytical and experimental approaches are presented to monitor the tension levels in posttensioned high‐strength steel rods of stressed‐timber systems. The dynamic response of these rods under an impact load is correlated ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of two C 3 × 4.1 channel steel beams is evaluated in terms of the reduction in load-carrying capacity of the damaged state versus the undamaged stage. The beam specimens are sized and configured to ...

Abstract: Pipelines account for the lion’s share of the lifetime costs of any typical urban wastewater collection. While the deterioration of pipeline is the obvious “frontline” reason to adopt asset management practices, a more ...
