Abstract: The purpose of this experimental research program was to verify that the transfer and development length of 15-mm (0.6-in.) diameter prestressing strand were less than calculated by the current American Association of State ...

Abstract: The use of duplex high-strength stainless steel (HSSS) Grade 2205 prestressing strand and austenitic stainless steel (SS) Grade 304 spiral wire reinforcement is proposed for reinforcing prestressed concrete piles in marine ...

Abstract: To investigate the effectiveness of several seismic strengthening techniques, a full-scale unreinforced masonry (URM) structure was subjected to slowly applied lateral load reversals after the application of fiber reinforced ...

Abstract: A full-scale two-story unreinforced masonry (URM) building was tested in a quasistatic fashion to investigate the nonlinear properties of existing URM structures and to assess the efficiency of several common retrofit ...

Abstract: Based on the results of a full-scale lateral load test of a two-story unreinforced masonry (URM) structure, modifications are suggested for the model implied by

Abstract: A variety of elastic and inelastic analytical approaches were used to investigate the response of a full-scale unreinforced masonry (URM) structure tested in the laboratory. Elastic analyses, employing a three-dimensional ...
