Abstract: A theory is proposed such that slopes of tangents drawn to plastic portions of load-displacement curves for the determination of limit loads can be estimated using the elastic portion of ...

Abstract: An approximate method is formulated to predict elastic hoop stresses in the longitudinal plane of unreinforced pressurized tees using axisymmetric solutions from plate-cylindrical shell intersections. ...

Abstract: A basic solution for in-reactor sag of horizontal pressure tubes is proposed in accordance with a nonlinear anisotropic creep theorem. As an example, numerical solutions for in-reactor sag of ...

Abstract: A method based on local stress concentration is employed to estimate stress intensity factors for corner cracks at the crotch corner of pressurized tees. The method yields results which are ...

Abstract: This research explores factors associated with driver yielding behavior at unsignalized pedestrian crossings and develops predictive models for yielding by using logistic regression. It considers the effect of variables ...

Abstract: This paper explores the use of pedestrian signalization options for crosswalks at one- and two-lane roundabouts to enable these facilities to be accessible to pedestrians with vision impairments. Motivated by uncertainties ...
