Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Uncertainty in Flexural Capacity Prediction of Ferrocement Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper examines the uncertainty in the mathematical models used for predicting the ultimate and first‐crack moment capacities of ferrocement structural elements. Uncertainty studies are performed on five ultimate‐moment ...
Statistical Model of Boulder Size and Fraction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The presence of boulders in a soil stratum could pose problems during construction and affect satisfactory performance of a geotechnical system. Statistical description of boulders can be useful in assessing the reliability ...
Behavior of Hybrid-Fiber Engineered Cementitious Composites Subjected to Dynamic Tensile Loading and Projectile Impact
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The characteristics of engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) subjected to dynamic tensile loading and high-velocity projectile impact have been investigated and are reported in this paper. Hybrid-fiber ECC containing ...
Performance of Hybrid-Fiber ECC Blast/Shelter Panels Subjected to Drop Weight Impact
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study to evaluate the damage and failure mode of hybrid-fiber engineered cementitious composite (ECC) panels caused by large projectiles or fragments. The aim is to quantify ...
Reliability Analysis of Structural Systems by Stable Configurations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A practical approach for the reliability analysis of structural systems is presented. Practical approximations and simplifications to the theoretical stable‐configuration approach are derived from the cut‐set formulation ...
Identification of Statistically Homogeneous Soil Layers Using Modified Bartlett Statistics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stationarity or statistical homogeneity is an important prerequisite for subsequent statistical analysis on a given section of a soil profile to be valid. The estimation of important soil statistics such as the variance ...
Reliability of Switched Model-Based Controller for Vessel Dynamic Positioning With Switching Under Estimated Motion Frequency
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In switched-control methodology, which integrates several controllers handling different environmental conditions for dynamic positioning (DP) systems in marine vessels, the supervisor uses the ...
Approximate Analysis of Asymmetric Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Galerkin method of weighted residuals is used in the 3‐dimensional analysis of asymmetric tall buildings subjected to lateral loads. Using polynomial shape functions, approximate displacement functions are obtained for ...
Probabilistic Analysis of Soil-Water Characteristic Curves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Direct measurement of the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is costly and time consuming. A first-order estimate from statistical generalization of experimental data belonging to soils with similar textural and ...
