Impact Resistance of Annealed Glass Panels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Annealed glass is by far the most commonly used glazing material in building construction. The resistant properties of glazing panels to wind loading has been studied for a long time based on quasistatic modeling. More ...
Experimental Investigation of Unreinforced Brick Masonry Walls in Flexure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of static and dynamic tests on unreinforced brick masonry wall panels subject to out-of-plane loading. Fourteen wall panels were tested. The test program included static, free-vibration, and ...
Experimental and Analytical Assessment of Flexural Behavior of Cantilevered RC Walls Subjected to Impact Actions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) impact-resistance barriers, such as rockfall barriers, often consist of a cantilever RC wall, which is expected to experience flexural bending under impact loading to resist the associated design ...
Analytical Solution for Estimating Sliding Displacement of Rigid Barriers Subjected to Boulder Impact
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rigid barriers are commonly used as defense measures in hilly areas to contain falling boulders and landslide debris, and the sliding displacement of these barriers is a key design consideration when space is limited. A ...
Displacement-Based Approach for the Assessment of Overturning Stability of Rectangular Rigid Barriers Subjected to Point Impact
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a new design approach based on the principles of energy and momentum conservation is proposed for the design of free-standing rigid barriers subject to point impact. The novelty of this approach lies in the ...
