Bridge Progressive Collapse Vulnerability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For important structures, it is increasingly required that catastrophic failure of the entire structure be prevented. Failure of an element due to an accidental event must not result in progressive collapse of other elements ...
Partially Prestressed Concrete Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A method is presented for prediction of stresses and strains of partially prestressed concrete structures. Members are assumed to be uncracked under permanent loads, but cracking can occur under transient live load. A ...
Closure to “<i>Partially Prestressed Concrete Structures</i>” by Amin Ghali and Maher K. Tadros (August, 1985, Vol. 111, No. 8)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Precast/Prestressed Concrete Sandwich Panels for Thermally Efficient Floor/Roof Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Precast concrete floor systems represent a major component of the cost and weight of precast concrete buildings. Hollow-core (HC) planking is considered the most common precast concrete floor system for residential and ...
Design, Fabrication, and Construction of Static-Cast Concrete Poles Reinforced with GFRP
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concrete poles used in transmission structures usually are made using the spun-cast method. Recent surveys found that some spun-cast concrete poles have had durability problems as a result of longitudinal cracking and ...
Innovative System for Curved Precast Posttensioned Concrete I-Girder and U-Girder Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discussion of “<i>Pre‐Tensioned and Posttensioned Composite Girders</i>” by Michael S. Troitsky, Zenon A. Zielinski, and Abdolrahim Nouraeyan (December, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 12)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Recommendations for Design of Reinforced Concrete Pipe
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Currently, two methods are available for the design of reinforced concrete pipes:
Effect of Supplementary Cementitious Materials on the Performance of Concrete Pavement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) have been used in portland cement concrete pavements (PCCP) to increase their resistance to deterioration mechanisms, such as alkali-silica reaction (ASR), freeze and thaw, and ...
Cracking and Deformability of Concrete Flexural Sections with Fiber Reinforced Polymer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars are used as reinforcement in concrete sections in flexure, it is necessary to control the width of cracks by limiting the tensile stress in the FRP in service to a small fraction ...
