Abstract: This paper describes an experimental study on radius cut reduced beam section (RBS) moment connections for use in seismic resistant steel moment frames. The effects of panel zone strength, composite behavior with a concrete ...

Abstract: During the development of an automated cost estimating system, several factors led to the selection of the triangular probability-density function to model historical construction costs. The triangular-density function is ...

Abstract: The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) uses precast prestressed concrete slab beams in a side-by-side configuration for short-span bridges in low-clearance areas. To reduce costs, a new bridge type called a spread ...
