Effect of Hybrid Fibers on Flexural and Tensile Properties of Ultrahigh Performance Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composites: Experiments and Calculation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper addresses effects of hybrid fibers on the flexural and tensile properties of ultrahigh performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (UHPFRCC). The workability, compressive strength, flexural strength, ...
Full-Range Behavior of Top-and-Seat Angle Connections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents recent research carried out at the University of Sydney on the full-range behavior of top-and-seat angle connections. A total of 18 tests were conducted, covering two connection configurations and three ...
Semianalytical Solutions for Abutment Piles Under Combined Active and Passive Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Abutment piles in soft ground are always subjected to both active loads from upper structures and passive loads from horizontal soft ground displacements; however, theoretical solutions for abutment piles under such combined ...
Theoretical Analysis of Postconstruction Load-Carrying Capacity of a Cast-in-Place Pile Installed in <i>K</i><sub>0</sub>-Consolidated Anisotropic Clayey Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper analytically investigates the postconstruction load-carrying capacity of a cast-in-place pile in clayey soil. The stress release induced by borehole excavation, the slurry supporting effects, and the dissipation ...
Gaussian Process Regression-Based Material Model for Stochastic Structural Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Data-driven material models can capture the constitutive relationship directly from the data without involving any material-dependent mathematical expressions. But most data-driven approaches, such as artificial neural ...
A Probability-Based Likelihood Function for Bayesian Updating of a Bridge Condition Deterioration Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To predict the future condition of a bridge, statistical models for the time-in-condition rating (TICR) can estimate the time that a bridge stays in a given condition and then predict the future condition of the bridge. ...
Rheology and Aging Resistance of Asphalt Modified with Calcined Kaolin
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study aimed to explore the potential of calcined kaolin (CK) as an asphalt modifier. CK at 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by asphalt weight was blended in asphalt binder at a high temperature, followed by aging treatments using ...
A Higher Order Perturbational Approach in the Lubricated EHL Contacts With Non-Newtonian Lubricant
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In previous papers [7–9], investigations have been made on the influence of several kinds of non-Newtonian lubricants on the line contact EHL by using a first-order perturbational method. The ...
Experimental Investigation of Thermoacoustic Instabilities for a Model Combustor With Varying Fuel Components
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, a combustion facility was constructed that includes a flexible fuel supply system to produce synthesis gas using a maximum of three components. The rig with lean premixed burner ...
Seismic Response from Centrifuge Model Tests of a Scoured Bridge with a Pile-Group Foundation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A series of seismic centrifuge tests were performed on an RC girder-type bridge with a 3 × 3 pile-group foundation embedded in dry sand to investigate the seismic behavior under various scour conditions. Based on the ...
