Abstract: A masonry arch bridge can be analyzed by frame analysis methods by considering a unit width of the arch ring and the overlying fill. The arch ring is divided into at least 10 segments, each of which is given cross-sectional ...

Abstract: A laterally loaded masonry pier or a masonry arch under gravity loads is investigated by considering the pier or arch composed of blocks that are infinitely rigid, infinitely strong, and that transmit no tension at the ...

Abstract: The masonry arch has its origins in the history of building as a functional means of admitting light and air through walls of massive masonry construction. As the construction of buildings evolved and the technology of ...

Abstract: This paper describes the implementation of problem-based instruction program in the integration of architectural design and planning into the architectural engineering curriculum. The program consisted of two components: ...

Abstract: Thin-shell concrete structures were developed in the mid-twentieth century in response to the need for economy in large-span structures and in response to the design and aesthetic program of the modern movement in architecture. ...

Abstract: A field test of a complicated statically indeterminate floor system on a historic steel truss bridge has been conducted to obtain a more accurate load rating of the structure than possible using calculated predictions of ...

Abstract: In a paper previously published by the first writer, a procedure for load-rating masonry arch bridges was introduced. The procedure uses the Load Factor Method of the 1994 American Association of State Highway and ...

Abstract: The objective of this project is to evaluate the cumulative damage caused by vehicle loading to bridge concrete deck slabs. As part of this study, an existing analytical model has been implemented to evaluate the effect ...
