RISA Simple Technique for the Minimum Mass Design of Continuous Structural Members
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A technique for determining the minimum mass design of continuous structural members is presented. The method involves formulating the minimum mass design problem as an optimal control problem, ...
Automated Design of Steel Frames Using Advanced Analysis and Object-Oriented Evolutionary Computation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An automated design algorithm for partially restrained and fully restrained steel frames is presented. Advanced analysis based design is utilized and inelastic modeling of member behavior is based upon the distributed ...
Discussion of “Uncertainty of the Assumptions Required for Estimating the Regulatory Flood: Red River of the North” by Paul E. Todhunter
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Inelastic Behavior of Multistory Partially Restrained Steel Frames. Part I
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper outlines the development of a finite element for use in the inelastic second-order analysis of partially (PR) and fully (FR) restrained planar steel frames. The finite element considers spread of plastification ...
Inelastic Behavior of Multistory Partially Restrained Steel Frames. Part II
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The plastic-zone method of analysis described in a companion paper is used in the inelastic analysis of three multistory, multibay fully restrained (FR) and partially restrained (PR) steel frames. Full nonlinear load-deformation ...
Detail Categories for Reliability-Based Fatigue Evaluation of Mast-Arm Sign Support Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sign and luminaire support structures are prevalent throughout the transportation infrastructure network. Collapse and inspection of these pose hazards to the motoring public and the inspection personnel charged with their ...
Probabilistic Performance-Based Optimal Design of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames. II: Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Design codes are migrating from prescriptive procedures intended to preserve life safety to reliability-based design. All stakeholders are given the opportunity to speak the common language of risk and structural designs ...
Probabilistic Performance-Based Optimal Design of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames. I: Formulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Significant progress has been made in the preceding two decades in the area of seismic engineering. Design codes are very quickly migrating from prescriptive procedures intended to preserve life safety to reliability-based ...
Reliability-Based Inspection Protocols for Mast-Arm Sign Support Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There have been numerous examples of poor in-service performance of welded, tube-to-transverse plate connections within mast-arm sign support structures in the last several decades. A considerable amount of research has ...
Modeling Error Uncertainty Characterization for Reliability-Based Fatigue Assessment in Sign Support Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sign and luminaire support structures are prevalent throughout the transportation infrastructure network. Collapse and inspection of these signs pose hazards to the motoring public and the inspection personnel charged with ...
