Abstract: Galloping of power line conductors is a random phenomenon. Its randomness is characterized by several random variables including wind speed, wind direction, ice shape, wind angle of attack, ice thinness, span length, ...

Abstract: Four additional sets of aerodynamic data are presented for 4 bluff shapes. The data include aerodynamic lift, drag, and pitching moment in a range of the angle-of-attack from zero to 180 deg. The Reynolds number was 105,000. ...

Abstract: The education of our future civil engineers is incomplete without an appreciation of the men who created the profession of civil engineering in the late 18th and early 19th century. This paper presents an approach to ...

Abstract: The ASCE code of ethics has been revised many times since its adoption in 1914. The Code began as a virtual copy of the code of the Institution of Civil Engineers, London that was adopted in 1912. Its primary emphasis was ...

Abstract: The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the best-known engineering structures in the world and was the longest suspension bridge in the world for many years. Its design has generally been attributed to Joseph Strauss, but recent ...
