Abstract: The seismic behavior of reinforced concrete frames with setbacks is investigated using the measured response of two small‐scale models. Building profile is the primary experimental parameter. Symmetrical and unsymmetrical ...

Abstract: A fracture-critical bridge along Interstate Highway 35 with a relatively high volume of traffic had exceeded its original design life and was monitored before and after a repair was implemented to strengthen the bridge. ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the susceptibility of grouted stay cables to bending fatigue damage. The results from twelve, bending fatigue tests are reported in this paper. Fretting of adjacent ...

Abstract: The behavior of an eight‐story, reinforced concrete apartment building that suffered severe structural damage during the 1985 Chile earthquake is investigated. A series of linear and limit analyses are described in an ...

Abstract: Field tests conducted on a noncomposite steel girder bridge are described. Two separate 36.6 m (120 ft) units, each three-span continuous, were subjected to increasing static loads by means of a trailer and concrete barriers. ...
