Abstract: Wire arc additively manufactured (WAAM) steels cannot be adopted into civil structures until knowledge of their material behaviors is expanded. American Welding Society (AWS) ER70S-6 is a common welding wire feedstock ...

Abstract: Fatigue cracking has caused a number of high-mast lighting tower (HMLT) failures throughout the United States. Both buffeting and vortex shedding have been shown to contribute to the failures observed. To increase HMLT ...

Abstract: Bridge load rating provides a standardized procedure to determine the safe load-carrying capacity of a bridge, thereby allowing engineers to establish posting and permitting requirements. The structural condition of ...

Abstract: Measuring surface hardness and correlating it to shear strength is a nondestructive test method that can be used when a more accurate estimate of rivet strength is necessary. The objectives of this research were to ...

Abstract: This paper presents the evaluation of three methods for manually estimating the elastic lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) resistance of general doubly and singly symmetric I-section members having any combination of transitions ...

Abstract: Modern advances in steel production have resulted in materials with increased fracture resistance. Material characterization studies have quantified fracture behavior, while large-scale experimental tests have demonstrated ...

Abstract: This paper presents the evaluation of two methods for manually estimating the elastic lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) resistance of general doubly and singly symmetric I-section members having a linear variation in the ...

Abstract: Fracture resistance of modern bridge steels has improved through advances in material production techniques. The enhanced performance has been quantified through a number of material characterization studies and large-scale ...
