Abstract: Civil engineering design problems are inherently complex, characterized by iterative processes, multiple criteria, and time-consuming manual design work. Traditional methods often struggle to rapidly reach optimal designs, ...

Abstract: A split Hopkinson pressure bar equipment was used to perform high strain rate compressive tests on concrete filled steel tubes (CFT) along with benchmark plain concrete cylinders for comparison. This paper reports the ...

Abstract: This study develops the probabilistic seismic response and capacity models for the broad collection of standard pile designs that are routinely incorporated into bridges in California. A review of the state bridge inventory ...
