Abstract: A series of experimental and analytical tests on modified composite push-out specimens and bare steel shear studs were performed to investigate the behavior of shear studs subjected to fully reversed cyclic load. Of specific ...

Abstract: An experimental and analytical study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of applying carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) overlays to steel fatigue tension coupons to prolong fatigue life. Specimens were either ...

Abstract: Terrazzo is a high-grade flooring widely specified by architects for its aesthetic and durable characteristics. However, misunderstanding of material behavior and specifications can result in early deterioration, leading ...

Abstract: An experimental program was undertaken to evaluate methods to retrofit existing steel moment connections for improved seismic performance. Six full-scale subassemblages were tested under cyclic loading. Typical pre-Northridge ...

Abstract: A series of six full-scale subassemblages were tested to investigate dogbone and haunch retrofits for pre-Northridge steel moment connections. Tests included matched pairs of specimens, one bare steel and one including ...

Abstract: Terrazzo installation is often perceived as an art, left to individual contractors and craftsmen to implement tried-and-true application and repair methods. In this context, architects and engineers often relegate themselves ...

Abstract: This paper presents the field performance evaluation of an integral abutment bridge constructed in Massachusetts that was monitored for a period of three years. Emphasis is primarily made on observed seasonal and yearly ...

Abstract: Integral abutment bridges are often a preferred bridge type for moderate spans throughout the United States. However, design methods and construction details vary from state to state. Variations between states are noted ...
