Ultimate Response of Composite Cylinders Under Flexural Load
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Composite cylinders are generally used as primary load carrying structures. Their constitutive behavior up to failure is crucial for a critical design. This paper focuses on the ultimate flexural ...
Monitoring and Analysis of Shanghai Pudong Seawall Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Local government built the monitoring project to know seawall performance and ensure its safety in Shanghai Pudong New Area. Up to now, monitoring data of some important monitoring items including tidewater level, seepage ...
Deformation and Load-Bearing Characteristics of Step-Tapered Piles in Clay under Lateral Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The step-tapered pile foundation is a relatively new structure. For this reason, current literature on step-tapered piles is still not systematic or comprehensive. Thus, it is of the utmost importance to carry out tests ...

One-Dimensional Compression Behavior of Calcareous Sand and Marine Clay Mixtures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: More and more oceanic projects involve calcareous sand–marine clay mixtures which behave totally different from pure calcareous sand and marine clay. The effect of clay content on the compression behavior of the calcareous ...
Theoretical Solution for Long-Term Settlement of a Large Step-Tapered Hollow Pile in Karst Topography
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The large step-tapered hollow (LSTH) pile is an invented foundation solution for critical infrastructures overlying difficult geological profiles. In this paper, the time-dependent load-transfer model and the theoretical ...
Improved Baseline Productivity Analysis Technique
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Previous studies have aimed to develop effective methods to derive baseline productivity (BP) for labor-intensive activities in construction sites. However, there are two different definitions of BPs: one is defined as a ...
Errata for “Improved Baseline Productivity Analysis Technique” by Chien-Liang Lin and Hong-Ming Huang
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Postfailure Analysis of Slopes by Random Generalized Interpolation Material Point Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, the generalized interpolation material point (GIMP) method will be utilized to simulate the postfailure behavior of slopes that accounts for spatial variability. Because the spatial variability of soil has ...
A Metamaterial Acoustic Concentrator With Regular Polygonal Cross Section
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The phenomenon of near-field concentration of sound wave plays an important role in harnessing of sound wave in underwater sonar or similar devices, where high pressure field is required. ...
