Interpretation of Flexural Vibration Modes from Impact-Echo Testing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main goals of this study are to provide an improved interpretation of flexural vibration modes of delaminations in concrete bridge decks detected using impact-echo testing, and to develop a simple two-dimensional (2D) ...
Stiffness Reduction Factor for Flat Slab Structures under Lateral Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Effective beam width model (EBWM) has been widely used for predicting lateral drifts and slab moments in flat slab structures under lateral loads. As the slab moment due to lateral loads increases, slab stiffness decreases ...
Methodology to Improve the AASHTO Subgrade Resilient Modulus Equation for Network-Level Use
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing is commonly used to estimate subgrade resilient modulus (
Effects of Bottom Reinforcement on Hysteretic Behavior of Posttensioned Flat Plate Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flat plate systems are commonly designed as a gravity-force-resisting system (GFRS) along with stiffer lateral-force-resisting systems (LFRS) such as shear walls, and moment resisting frames; however, deformation compatibility ...
