Monitoring-Based Reliability Analysis of Aging Concrete Structures by Bayesian Updating
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Structural-health-monitoring techniques provide valuable in-service measured information for existing civil engineering structures such as bridges, which can be used for predicting future structural performance and determining ...
Cyclic Tension–Compression Behaviors of Large-Dimensional Superelastic Shape Memory Alloy Buckling-Restrained Plates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study proposed novel designs for achieving self-centering (SC) behavior using superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) buckling-restrained plates (BRPs). Compared with previous studies relying on small-diameter SMA bars, ...
Analytical Model for Residual Bond Strength of Corroded Reinforcement in Concrete Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bond strength deterioration in corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete structures significantly affects serviceability and load-carrying capacity in their remaining service life. This paper presents a new analytical model ...

Experimental Investigation of Springback Variation in Forming of High Strength Steels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The use of high strength steels (HSSs) in automotive body structures is a prominent method of reducing vehicle weight as an alternative to use of aluminum and magnesium alloys. However, parts ...
Fabrication of High Aspect Ratio Porous Microfeatures Using Hot Compaction Technique
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: High aspect ratio porous microfeatures are becoming more important in the modern industry. However, the fabrication of such features under a mass production environment remains a challenge when ...
Estimating Static and Dynamic Stresses in Geosynthetic-Reinforced Pile-Supported Track-Bed under Train Moving Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents an estimating method to calculate the static and the dynamic stresses in the geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported track-bed (embankment), based on a series of full-scale model tests under train moving ...
Analytical and Numerical Investigation of Quasi-Zero Stiffness Vertical Isolation System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A novel nonlinear isolation system designed for buildings is proposed to isolate vibrations in the vertical direction. The system is characterized by quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) obtained by combining linear springs in ...
