Abstract: An analytical approach to determine the need to provide transverse reinforcement at boundaries of reinforced concrete structural walls with rectangular, T‐shaped, or barbell‐shaped cross sections is presented. By relating ...

Abstract: A displacement-based analytical procedure is used to develop a new code format for the seismic design of reinforced concrete shear walls. The procedure, which can be applied to walls of various cross-sectional shapes, uses ...

Abstract: Current engineering practice typically relies on the use of fiber-based modeling approaches with uncoupled axial-bending (P-M) and shear (V) responses to simulate nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structural ...

Abstract: Quantification of building system performance and response parameters such as response modification coefficient (

Abstract: Current engineering practice typically relies on the use of fiber-based modeling approaches with uncoupled axial-bending (P-M) and shear (V) responses to simulate nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structural ...

Abstract: The effect of forging speed on the efficiency of selected solid and liquid lubricants was investigated by the axial upsetting of 0.45 percent C steel cylinders and rings at 2000 deg F, at ...

Abstract: A new approach was developed to predict pressure and flow transients in rocket engine feed systems. The one-dimensional equations of momentum and continuity were reduced by the method of ...

Abstract: An analytical procedure to determine the need for concrete confinement at the boundaries of structural walls in a building subjected to earthquakes is described. The procedure is based on comparing directly the expected ...

Abstract: Existing approaches used to model the lateral load versus deformation responses of reinforced concrete walls typically assume uncoupled axial/flexural and shear responses. A novel analytical model for RC walls that captures ...
