RISStatic Analysis of Composite Beams Using Collocation Technique by Considering Linear and Nonlinear Partial Interactions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This work presents a collocation method for study of the static behavior of composite beams with consideration of linear and nonlinear partial interactions. The collocation concept is first introduced; the internal global ...
Metamorphosing the SASW Method by 2D Wavefield Transformation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dispersion analysis in surface wave testing is conventionally associated with a certain method of data acquisition, such as phase angle analysis in the two-station spectral analysis of surface wave (SASW) method and ...
Numerical Analysis of Interfacial Bond Behavior of Externally Bonded FRP-to-Concrete Joints
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Due to the complexity and difficulty involved, the interfacial bond-slip relationship of externally bonded (EB) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-to-concrete joints has been investigated, mainly through experimental testing. ...
Particle Swarm Optimization–Based Finite-Element Analyses and Designs of Shear Connector Distributions for Partial-Interaction Composite Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Particle swarm optimization–based finite-element (PSO-FE) method is introduced for the designs and analyses of the steel–concrete composite beams. After a brief explanation of the PSO-FE theory, the optimizations of shear ...
Variational Principles and Explicit Finite-Element Formulations for the Dynamic Analysis of Partial-Interaction Composite Beams
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, we conduct a systematic dynamic investigation of partial-interaction composite beams under various sophisticated loading conditions that have seldom been presented in the literature. For the purpose of easy ...
Decentralized Robust Control of Decomposed Uncertain Interconnected Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a new design technique of decentralized robust controllers for a class of uncertain interconnected system is provided. The interconnection matrices and the uncertainties of the ...
Effects of Moisture on Pyrolysis of Polypropylene
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The thermal degradation kinetics of polypropylene (PP) in steam was investigated with a thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) reaction system. The experiments were carried out in the 500–800 K temperature range at various ...
Evaluation of the Residual Bearing Capacity of Prestressed Concrete T-Girder Bridges Based on Bending Stiffness Reduction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper examines the use of the measured bending stiffness reduction of a prestressed concrete bridge to evaluate its residual bearing capacity (RBC). To create a clear correlation between bending stiffness and the RBC, ...
Cracking Performance in the Hogging-Moment Regions of Natural Curing Steel–UHPC and Steel–UHTCC Continuous Composite Beams
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: High-performance concretes without steam curing have great potential to improve crack resistance in the hogging-moment regions of continuous steel–concrete composite beams. This paper conducts experiments to investigate ...
Interfacial Behavior of Carbon FRP-to-Granite Joints with Mechanical Fastening
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Premature debonding is a major obstacle for the utilization of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced stone structures due to the brittle characteristics of stone materials. The study of the interfacial behavior between ...
