RISCracking and Punching Shear Failure Analysis of RC Flat Plates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a nonlinear layered finite element method capable of analyzing cracking and punching shear failure of reinforced concrete flat plates with spandrel beams or torsion strips. Incorporating a layered ...
Fastened Aluminum-Lipped Channel Sections Subjected to Web Crippling under Two-Flange Loading Conditions: Experimental Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Thin-walled members in structural systems are highly vulnerable to buckling instabilities, including web crippling. Aluminum alloy members are more prone to this kind of failure due to their relatively low elastic moduli. ...
Strain Rate Effect on the Embedment Mechanical Properties and Fracture Behavior of Softwood Laminated Veneer Lumbers: Implications to Timber Connections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper experimentally investigates the influence of the strain rate experienced during earthquake and progressive collapse events on mechanical properties affecting the design of softwood laminated veneer lumber timber ...
Progressive Collapse Resistance of Two Typical High-Rise RC Frame Shear Wall Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Existing research on progressive collapse of building structures mainly focuses on concrete and steel frame structures. To investigate the progressive collapse resistance of high-rise RC frame shear wall structures, two ...
Simple Analysis of Framed-Tube Structures with Multiple Internal Tubes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A framed-tube system with multiple internal tubes is analyzed using an orthotropic box beam analogy approach in which each tube is individually modeled by a box beam that accounts for the flexural and shear deformations ...
Development of a Long-Term Bridge Element Performance Model Using Elman Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A reliable deterioration model is essential in bridge asset management. Most deterioration modeling requires a large amount of well-distributed condition rating data along with all bridge ages to calculate the probability ...
Effects of Seismic and Progressive Collapse Designs on the Vulnerability of RC Frame Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Buildings are exposed to multiple natural hazards over their service lives. Multihazard analysis and design of building structures has become a research hotspot worldwide. For these structures, earthquake and progressive ...
Evaluation of Roundabout Capacity Models: An Empirical Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Experimental and Computational Assessments of Progressive Collapse Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Planar Frames Subjected to Penultimate Column Removal Scenario
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Existing research studies have primarily examined the progressive collapse of frame structures under an inner column removal scenario. However, progressive collapse risk is much higher when penultimate columns close to the ...
Comparative and Parametric Studies on Behavior of RC-Flat Plates Subjected to Interior-Column Loss
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To investigate the influence of critical parameters on the progressive collapse resistance of reinforced concrete (RC)-flat plates, a set of finite-element modeling techniques was established. The modeling of bond-slip ...
