Abstract: Representative interpretation criteria are examined to evaluate the capacity of nonrigid drilled shaft foundations under lateral loading. A wide variety of lateral load test data are used for analysis, and these data are ...

Abstract: This paper is a critical evaluation of the interpretation criteria of drilled shafts under axial compression loading. A wide variety of load test data are used for analysis, and these data are divided into drained and ...

Abstract: Consolidated‐isotropically undrained, triaxial compression (CIUC), unconsolidated‐undrained, triaxial compression (UU), and unconfined compression (UC) test results were used to develop interrelationships for the undrained ...

Abstract: There is an increasing demand for jumbo sections and high-strength steel in the construction of modern high-rise buildings. However, there is a lack of knowledge of the behavior of this type of construction, especially ...

Abstract: The American Institute of Steel Construction load and resistance factor design (AISC-LRFD) Specification states that second-order effects should be considered in the design of frames; however, most designers are experienced ...

Abstract: Representative interpretation criteria are examined to evaluate the capacity of drilled shaft foundations under axial uplift loading. A wide variety of uplift load test data are used, and these data are divided into drained ...

Abstract: Welding overlay repair (WOR) is commonly employed to rebuild piping systems suffering from intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC). To understand the effects of this repair, it is necessary ...

Abstract: The fracture of beam-to-column connections of steel buildings in the Northridge and Kobe earthquakes generated concerns about the reliability of current design and construction technology for steel connections. The same ...

Abstract: A central opening strut system is used to support a diaphragm wall for foundation excavation. This system contains at least one regular polygon module and a number of straight strut members. These strut members connect the ...
