RISShear Performance of Tapered Beams with Concrete Flanges and Corrugated Steel Webs: Theory, Experiments, and Numerical Simulations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study experimentally and numerically demonstrated that the traditional basic shear method is not applicable for estimating the shear stresses in tapered beams with corrugated steel webs (CSWs). The vertical components ...
Eccentrically Loaded Square Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes Strengthened with CFRP Grid-Reinforced Engineered Cementitious Composite
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The use of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) grid-reinforced engineered cementitious composite (CFGRE) systems to strengthen concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) offers potential to improve the structural response as ...
Using Sun Tzu’s Military Strategies to Achieve Competitiveness in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The rapid growth of mainland China’s construction market has spurred the increase of projects, but at the same time also attracted competition from local and foreign architectural, engineering, and construction (A/E/C) ...
Unveiling Embedded Risks in Integrated Project Delivery
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is an innovative procurement approach through which the client, designer, and contractor work together under one contract as a team. While an integrated team is expected to be able to ...
Predicting the Sound Transmission Loss of Sandwich Panels by Statistical Energy Analysis Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A statistical energy analysis (SEA) approach is used to predict the sound transmission loss (STL) of sandwich panels numerically. Unlike conventional SEA studies of the STL of sandwich panels, ...
Effects of Market Competition on the Sustainability Performance of the Construction Industry: China Case
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Achieving sustainability through the market has been a research topic in the field of sustainable development. Nevertheless, the ways in which sustainability in construction is influenced by the construction market have ...
Rigid-Plastic Model for Progressive Collapse Assessment of Composite Beam-Column Connection Subassembly under Internal Column Removal
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigates the progressive collapse behavior of composite beam-column connection subassembly under column removal scenarios. An analytical model is proposed based on the rigid-plastic assumptions, in which the ...
Enhancing the Collapse Resistance of a Composite Subassembly with Fully Welded Joints Using Sliding Inner Cores
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents a novel approach to enhancing the progressive collapse resistance of a fully welded joint (FWJ) by introducing sliding inner cores within the joint, which is referred to as the FWJ with sliding inner ...
Biaxial Behavior of Steel Fiber–Reinforced Recycled-Aggregate Concrete Subjected to Dynamic Compression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presented an experimental study on the dynamic biaxial mechanical behavior of steel fiber-reinforced recycled-aggregate concrete (SFRRAC) samples. Five control variables, including lateral pressure (σ2), strain ...
