Wind-Tunnel Experiments on Vortex-Induced Vibration of Rough Bridge Cables
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Surface roughness, ice accretion, and atmospheric turbulence are important issues because they can considerably alter the aerodynamic characteristics of bridge cables. The present study describes wind-tunnel experiments ...
Effects of Wind-Barrier Layout and Wind Turbulence on Aerodynamic Stability of Cable-Supported Bridges
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Wind barriers are nowadays commonly placed on bridges to protect vehicles from adverse cross-wind effects. In addition to this beneficial influence, wind barriers may adversely affect the bridge dynamic stability. This is ...
Heavy Laminated Timber Frames with Rigid Three-Dimensional Beam-to-Column Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This article presents the seismic performance of a timber frame with three-dimensional (3D) rigid connections. The connections were made with self-tapping screws and hardwood blocks were used to support the beams. The frame ...
Experimental Investigation on Rehabilitation of Corroded RC Columns with BSP and HPFL under Combined Loadings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This research focuses on evaluating the seismic properties of corrosion-damaged RC columns strengthened by bonded steel plate (BSP) and high-performance ferrocement laminate (HPFL). The mechanical properties are experimentally ...
