RISFuzzy Time-Dependent Reliability Analysis of RC Beams Subject to Pitting Corrosion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Steel bars pitting corrosion is an electrochemical process that could seriously jeopardize the reliability of reinforced concrete structures. Even if detailed models exist to predict the lifetime of the concrete element ...
Genetic-Algorithm-Based Strategies for Dynamic Identification of Nonlinear Systems with Noise-Corrupted Response
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to investigate efficiency and correctness of different real-coded genetic algorithms and identification criteria in nonlinear system identification within the framework of non-classical ...
Evolutionary Polynomial Regression–Based Statistical Determination of the Shear Capacity Equation for Reinforced Concrete Beams without Stirrups
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams without stirrups is an important aspect in designing and assessing frame-type buildings. As a consequence, nearly all design codes provide equations for the evaluation ...

Strength Reduction Factor of Concrete with Recycled Rubber Aggregates from Tires
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recycling of waste tire rubber is a significant environmental problem due to the huge number of waste tires needing disposal. A promising alternative to methodologies usually used for this aim is the use of tire rubber in ...
Development and Validation of New Bouc–Wen Data-Driven Hysteresis Model for Masonry Infilled RC Frames
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: During the last years, several mechanics-based macromodels have been proposed to assess the cyclic response of infilled RC frames. However, the uncertainties behind the assumptions on damage and failure mechanisms compromise ...
