Abstract: This paper presents two methods of analysis of data obtained from an uplift loading test on an instrumented bored pier reinforced only by a central steel angle to which the uplift load was applied. The objective of the ...

Abstract: Interfacial failure under thermal cycling conditions is one of the main concerns in package design. To minimize such failure in multi-layered electronic assemblies and packages, it is important ...

Abstract: A one‐dimensional wave equation model for pile‐driving analysis is presented. In this model, the pile is represented by discrete elements, while the soil is represented by a series of springs and dashpots, the coefficients ...

Abstract: A procedure for assessment of bridge expansion joints making use of long-term monitoring data is presented in this paper. Based on the measurement data of expansion joint displacement and bridge temperature, the normal ...

Abstract: Results of low strain integrity testing of piles are normally interpreted using one-dimensional (1D) stress wave theory. While 1D stress wave theory is acceptable for pile-driving analysis, it may not adequately simulate ...

Abstract: A good understanding of environmental effects on structural modal properties is essential for reliable performance of vibration-based damage diagnosis methods. In this paper, a method of combining principal component ...
