Abstract: An interactive computer‐graphics program implementing the strut‐tie model approach for analysis and design of reinforced and prestressed concrete members is presented. The program consists of three parts. The first and ...

Abstract: An approximate formulation to determine the amount of transverse reinforcement for columns of reinforced concrete (RC) frames in seismic areas is presented. It is based on observations that suggested that the main function ...

Abstract: A large volume of images is collected during postdisaster building reconnaissance. For both older and new buildings, the structural drawings are an essential record of the structural information needed to extract valuable ...

Abstract: Reconnaissance teams are charged with collecting perishable data after a natural disaster. In the field, these engineers typically record their observations through images. Each team takes many views of both exterior and ...

Abstract: The COVID-19 era has witnessed numerous successful and unsuccessful attempts to adapt or reconfigure physical, virtual, and hybrid aspects of the built environment in order to mitigate the risks of co-occuring (i.e.,&nbs ...
