RISInfluence of Concrete Time-Dependent Effects on the Performance of Top-Down Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The influence of time-dependent concrete behavior on the performance of top-down excavations is evaluated in light of the observed responses during construction of One Museum Park West (OMPW), a 53-story reinforced concrete ...
Nonlinear Inelastic-Degrading Structural Modeling Approach to Assess the Seismic Soil–Structure Interaction Response of Tall Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Oversimplifying structural modeling in the analysis of the seismic performance of tall buildings introduces variability and biases in the computed seismic response. Engineering demand parameters (EDPs) from coupled ...
Modeling Nonlinear-Inelastic Seismic Response of Tall Buildings with Soil–Structure Interaction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects are of interest for the seismic analysis and the design of tall buildings on shallow foundations, particularly when both the structure and soil undergo inelastic demands. The objective ...
Method for Estimating Fully Coupled Response of Deep Excavations in Soft Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The influence of excavation rate, geometric layout, and hydraulic conductivity of basal and retained soils on the fully coupled solid–fluid behavior of braced excavations in cohesive soils is presented. Fully coupled ...
Semiempirical Model of Vibration-Induced Ground Deformations due to Impact Pile Driving
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A semiempirical method to determine ground deformations and vibrations induced by impact pile driving in sandy soil conditions is presented in this study. Field data during installation of precast prestressed concrete piles ...
Numerical Simulation of Triaxial Stress Probes and Recent Stress-History Effects of Compressible Chicago Glacial Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Numerical simulations and calibration of hypoplasticity constitutive parameters for Chicago clays are presented based on laboratory tests conducted on high-quality block samples and field tests from excavations located in ...
Soil–Structure Interaction Effects on Seismic Performance and Earthquake-Induced Losses in Tall Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper evaluated the seismic performance of hypothetical tall buildings by estimating intensity measures, engineering demand parameters, and earthquake-induced losses using a soil–structure interaction (SSI) numerical ...
Static Stability Formulas of a Weakened Timoshenko Column: Effects of Shear Deformations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The static stability analysis of two-dimensional Timoshenko columns weakened at an arbitrary section is derived in a classic manner. The effects of shear deformations along the column, influenced by the additional shear ...
Soil Arching Mechanisms Resulting from Excess Pore Pressure Dissipation Following Blast-Induced Liquefaction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper evaluates the stress changes and settlements following dissipation of local, 3D excess pore pressure fields induced by controlled blasting. Field data gathered during a blasting experiment in medium dense sand ...
