RISApplication of Experimental Results to Computational Evaluation of Structural Integrity of Steel Gravity Framing Systems with Composite Slabs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Experimental Characterization of a Composite Slab Subjected to Simulated Column Removal Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Steel gravity frames are inherently simple systems, which has led to questions regarding their structural integrity or robustness. The concept of structural integrity is often tied to column removal scenarios in which the ...

Abstract: Steel gravity frames are inherently simple systems, which has led to questions regarding their structural integrity or robustness. The concept of structural integrity is often tied to column removal scenarios in which the ...
Steel Hexagonal Honeycomb Core Equivalent Elastic Moduli for Bridge Deck Sandwich Panels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials possess inherently high strength-to-weight ratios, but their effective elastic moduli are low relative to civil engineering (CE) construction materials. While elastic modulus ...
Moment–Rotation Parameters for Composite Shear Tab Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Shear tab connections, acting compositely with the floor slab, are capable of providing some lateral resistance in steel frame buildings. This resistance was suspected from the events of the 1994 Northridge Earthquake and ...
Cyclic Testing of Simple Connections Including Effects of Slab
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The problems with welded moment connections in the Northridge earthquake of 1994 gave researchers incentive to examine the actual contribution of the simple, or shear, connections to the lateral resistance of welded steel ...
Influence of Secondary Elements and Deck Cracking on the Lateral Load Distribution of Steel Girder Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The AASHTO LRFD load distribution factor equation was developed based on elastic finite element analysis considering only primary members, i.e., the effects of secondary elements such as lateral bracing and parapets were ...
Investigation of Cylindrical Steel Tank Damage at Wineries during Earthquakes: Lessons Learned and Mitigation Opportunities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The moment magnitude scale (Mw) 6.0 South Napa earthquake caused damage to stainless steel cylindrical tanks used for wine storage and fermentation. The damage observed to the tanks included local buckling of the tank ...
Modeling Technique for Honeycomb FRP Deck Bridges via Finite Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Honeycomb structures have been used in different engineering fields. In civil engineering, honeycomb fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) structures have been used as bridge decks to rehabilitate highway bridges in the United ...
Parapet Strength and Contribution to Live-Load Response for Superload Passages
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of parapets on the live-load response of slab-on-girder steel bridges subjected to superload vehicles and the effects of these loads on the parapets. A superload ...
