Abstract: The levels of vibration induced by pedestrian traffic on a pedestrian overpass with a 43.3‐m (142‐ft) main span are found to be perceptible to its users. The maximum root‐mean‐square (RMS) acceleration measured in the field ...

Abstract: In this paper, the dynamic vehicle element (DVE) method is developed to solve the transient response of a vehicle–structure interaction system in time domain. The DVE method treats the vehicle as a moving part of the entire ...

Abstract: In 1993, Shimizu Corporation provided the opportunity to record manually, readings of stress and strain gauges they had embedded at the 18th story of a 65-story office tower under construction in Singapore. Static readings ...

Abstract: A multistory factory building with elevated access allows loading and unloading of the raw materials and finished products right in front of each factory unit. This enhances the land productivity of land-scarce Singapore. ...

Abstract: Full‐scale static and dynamic load tests are conducted for two precast, posttensioned reinforced concrete viaduct girders 22.3 m long. The first girder deflects 19.3 mm at midspan when subjected to a 3,240 kN static load, ...

Abstract: A floor supported on long-span beams, which was designed to accommodate bio research instruments, is evaluated for vibration induced by people walking. First, a brief review in vibration criteria is given. The variation ...

Abstract: The experimental and analytical investigations carried out on lightly reinforced concrete beam-column joints subjected to seismic loading are presented in this paper. Five 3/4-scale reinforced concrete beam-column joints ...

Abstract: Six full-scale nonseismically detailed reinforced concrete interior beam-wide column joints were tested to investigate the seismic behavior of the joints. Axial compression loads varying from zero to high magnitude, as ...

Abstract: Experimental and analytical modal analysis and in-operation vibration measurements were performed on the massive concrete structural floors of several structurally connected ‘units’ of a six-level, multitenant industrial ...

Abstract: An ultimate load test is conducted on two main beams of a 28‐year‐old building. The interaction effects of floor slabs with the adjacent structural members are investigated using the finite element method. The test arrangement ...
