RISInfluence of Building Shape on Wind-Driven Rain Exposure in Tall Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Wind-driven rain (WDR) is a primary cause of material degradation in tall buildings that affects the durability and long-term performance. This study investigates the influence of building shape on WDR exposure in tall ...
Behavior of FRP-RC Slabs under Multiple Independent Air Blasts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In some terrorist attacks, it is possible that RC structures might be subjected to more than a single explosion. RC structures designed without the consideration of blast effects tend to lose their capacity after the first ...
Behavior of Ultrahigh-Strength Prestressed Concrete Panels Subjected to Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation conducted in Woomera, South Australia in May 2004 on the blast-resistance of concrete panels made of ultrahigh-strength concrete (UHSC) material. A special ...
Prefabricated Composite Steel-Timber Stiffened Wall Systems with Post-Tensioning: Structural Analysis and Experimental Investigation under Vertical Axial Load
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With increasing demand for midrise buildings, automated prefabrication, design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA), and sustainability, a novel material-efficient post-tensioned (PT) composite steel-timber (CST) stiffened ...
Feasibility of Using Lead–Zinc Tailings to Produce Environmentally Friendly Ceramisite
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: There are large volumes of lead-zinc tailings (LZT) produced in China and elsewhere in the world. LZT disposal to the landfill is problematic and causes many environmental issues. The objective of this work is to demonstrate ...
Quantification of the Blast-Loading Parameters of Large-Scale Explosions

Investigations of Cavity Pressure Behaviors of Double-Skin Façade Systems Subjected to Blast Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main function of a façade system is to provide comfort and protection to occupants inside the building. Glass façades are susceptible to severe damage due to their direct exposure to extreme loading conditions, such ...
Innovative Flexible Structural System Using Prefabricated Modules
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Prefabricated modular structures are increasingly becoming popular as a strategy that can be used to achieve cost-effective and speedy construction. However, there is an absence of detailed engineering research and case ...
Thermal Stresses of Concrete at Early Ages
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The cracking tendency of cast-in-place concrete at early ages under restrained conditions is a concern. In particular, in the building industry, in order to meet the construction speed requirements, external load (due to ...
