RISDesign of Precast Diaphragm Chord Connections for In-Plane Tension Demands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper discusses the design and modeling of a welded chord connection commonly used in pretopped precast double tee panels. In conventional design, the chord is intended to achieve its tension strength based on the ...
Predicted Thermal Stresses in a Circular Assembly With Identical Adherends and With Application to a Holographic Memory Package Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A simple, easy-to-apply and physically meaningful analytical (“mathematical”) stress model is developed for the prediction of the thermally induced stresses in a circular adhesively bonded assembly ...
Behavior of RC Bridge Decks with Flexible Girders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current design practice for concrete bridge decks requires a top mat and a bottom mat of reinforcing bars. The chloride attack of the top mat of reinforcing bars is a major cause of deterioration of bridge decks. ...
Design of an Endoscope Shape Tracker to Guide Navigation in Colonoscopy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Colonoscopy, the gold-standard for screening colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease, is performed using a flexible endoscope. Flexible endoscopes lack functionality in that only the frontal ...
Development of a Relation between Return Period Values of Annual Maximum Snow Load and Snow Depth and Its Implication in Structural Reliability for Northeastern China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study proposes a new relationship between the return period values of the annual maximum ground snow depth and the ground snow load for northeastern China. The proposed relationship is based on a statistical evaluation ...
