Impact of Key System Parameters on the In-Plane Dynamic Response of a Cable Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Using crossties to connect a cable which has experienced or is prone to violent motions with its neighbors and form a cable network has been successfully applied to a number of cable-stayed bridges to control stay cable ...
Impact of Damper Stiffness and Damper Support Stiffness on the Performance of a Negative Stiffness Damper in Mitigating Cable Vibrations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Due to the superior performance of negative stiffness damper (NSD), its application to the vibration control of bridge stay cables attracts much research attention in recent years. In the current study, an experimental ...
Evaluation of Pedestrian-Induced In-Service Building Floor Performance Based on Short-Term Monitoring
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Pedestrian-induced vibration (PIV) is often the most persistent issue affecting the floor serviceability of buildings. These vibrations may cause discomfort to occupants and may also adversely affect the performance of ...
Effectiveness of a Novel Technique in Strengthening Web-Shear Capacity of Prestressed Hollow Core Slabs Using Externally Bonded FRP Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Precast, prestressed hollow-core (PHC) slabs are widely used in floor and roof decks because of their economic benefits. Because no shear reinforcement can be provided because of fabrication restraints, designers have to ...
Effects of Freeze-Thaw Cycles and Seawater Corrosion on the Behavior of Reinforced Air-Entrained Concrete Beams with Persistent Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of freeze-thaw cycles and seawater corrosion on the material properties of air-entrained concrete specimens and structural behavior of reinforced air-entrained concrete beams under persistent loads were ...
Effects of Mixed Corrosion, Freeze-Thaw Cycles, and Persistent Loads on Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of mixed corrosion and freeze-thaw cycles on the mechanical properties of concrete prism specimens and the effects of mixed corrosion, freeze-thaw cycles, and persistent loads on the structural behavior of ...
