Damage Assessment of Simply Supported Double-Pier Bent Bridge under Heavy Truck Collision
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Studying the failure or collapse mechanism of an entire bridge under vehicle–pier collision has engineering demand and practical meaning, while the existing damage assessment work mainly focuses on the impacted pier. This ...
Experimental and Numerical Study on Axial Capacity of FRP-Rehabilitated Postblast RC Bridge Pier
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The aim in this study is to experimentally and numerically evaluate the effectiveness of the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rehabilitation technique on postblast piers. Firstly, contact explosion, carbon FRP (CFRP) ...
Study of Ductile-to-Brittle Transition in Single Grit Diamond Scribing of Silicon: Application to Wire Sawing of Silicon Wafers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The ductile-to-brittle cutting mode transition in single grit diamond scribing of monocrystalline silicon is investigated in this paper. Specifically, the effects of scriber tip geometry, coefficient ...
Characterizing Fatigue Behavior of Asphalt Mixtures Utilizing Loaded Wheel Tester
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although widely used by state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and other highway agencies for characterization of rut resistance and moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixtures, loaded wheel testers (LWTs) are rarely ...
Response of a Buckled Beam Constrained by a Tensionless Elastic Foundation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, we study the deformation and stability of a pinned buckled beam under a point force. The buckled beam is constrained by a tensionless elastic foundation, which is flat before deformation. From static analysis, ...
Full-Scale Experimental Study of a Reinforced Concrete Bridge Pier under Truck Collision
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Recently, vehicle collisions with bridge piers have occurred frequently, which have attracted the attention of researchers. However, as one of the most important research methods, vehicle collision tests for reinforced ...
Vehicular Impact Resistance of FRP-Strengthened RC Bridge Pier
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As-built bridge piers are likely to be subjected to vehicular collisions, causing severe damage to the bridge substructure and even resulting in the collapse of the entire bridge. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness ...
Study on the Impact of Adjacent Horizontal Unloading on the Security Zone and Tunnel Structure of an Operating Subway
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The construction of deep foundation pits that are adjacent to an operating subway tunnel can cause significant disturbance to the surrounding soil and tunnel structure. Assessing the stability of the soil in the security ...
Impact of Land-Use Mixing on the Vitality of Urban Parks: Evidence from Big Data Analysis in Suzhou, Yangtze River Delta Region, China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As increasing attention is given to the impact of the built environment on citizens’ well-being and health, the role and performance of urban parks have to be carefully considered. The research presented in this paper ...
Investigation into Laboratory Abrasion Test Methods for Pervious Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Portland cement pervious concrete (PCPC) has been increasingly used in concrete pavements during recent years. In addition to strength and permeability, abrasion durability is another important property of PCPC. In this ...
