Abstract: The finite element solutions of deep beams are presented. Two types of deep beam elements are introduced. The first element simulates the exact analytical solution of the deep beam of rectangular cross section. The element ...

Abstract: Due to the differences of the gravitational accelerations of the Earth and lunar environments, geotechnical engineering must be applied differently in the two environments. This study investigates those differences. Of ...

Abstract: Different aspects of architectural systems are discussed in this study. The definitions of architectural systems and their importance to the building community are presented. The functions of architectural systems are ...

Abstract: The semi‐analytical solution of the dynamic behavior of vertical pile groups is presented. The solution accounts for the pile‐soil‐pile dynamic interaction and is based on modeling the soil as a plane strain continuum and ...

Abstract: A procedure is described for performing nonlinear dynamic slope stability analysis. The method combines updated Lagrangian kinematic relations with a cap‐type, strain‐hardening soil plasticity model in an explicit nonlinear ...

Abstract: This paper uses long-term bridge monitoring data to quantitatively assess the composite action exhibited in slab-on-girder highway bridges and investigates the potential relationship between composite action and deck ...
