RISNormal Strain-Adjusted Shear Strength Expression for Fully Grouted Reinforced Masonry Structural Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Since the conclusion of the test programs carried out by the Joint U.S.–Japan Technical Coordinating Committee on Masonry Research (TCCMAR) during the 1970s and 1980s, there has been little progress made to enhance the ...
Plastic Hinge Model and Displacement-Based Seismic Design Parameter Quantifications for Reinforced Concrete Block Structural Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A practical alternative to the traditional rectangular cross sections of reinforced masonry structural wall systems is to alter the wall ends to allow for smaller compression zone depths, and thus higher curvatures to ...
Seismic Performance Quantification of Reinforced Masonry Structural Walls with Boundary Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The design of reinforced masonry (RM) structural walls subject to high inelastic curvature demands can often be hindered by prescriptive requirements in design codes regarding the ratio between compression zone depth (
Seismic Design Parameters for Special Masonry Structural Walls Detailed with Confined Boundary Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, the results from a test program focusing on the behavior of eleven fully grouted reinforced masonry (RM) structural walls containing confined boundary elements are analyzed and presented according to force, ...
Damage Detection of FRP-Strengthened Concrete Structures Using Capacitance Measurements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a new concept for detecting air voids, water intrusion, and glue infiltration damages in fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs)-strengthened concrete structures was developed. The concept, based on detecting the ...
Out-of-Plane Behavior of Lightweight Metallic Sandwich Panels

Evaluation of ASCE 43-05 Seismic Design Criteria for Rocking Objects in Nuclear Facilities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The seismic interaction of unanchored objects with a seismically qualified system or component in a nuclear power plant (NPP) can be detrimental to nuclear safety. In order to assess the seismic risk, an accurate quantification ...
Multilaminate Macromodel for Concrete Masonry: Formulation and Verification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A macromodel was developed to predict the in-plane behavior of concrete masonry. In this multilaminate model, the masonry assemblage is replaced by an equivalent material which consists of a homogenous medium intersected ...
Performance Enhancement of Steel Columns Using Concrete-Filled Composite Jackets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper studies the cross-sectional behavior of steel columns strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs). The composite column is constructed by wrapping the steel I-section column with epoxy-saturated glass- ...
Seismic Performance Parameters for Reinforced Concrete-Block Shear Wall Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The focus of the current study is to analyze previously reported test results to evaluate equivalent plastic hinge lengths for concrete-block shear walls and to extract related seismic performance parameters. Inelastic ...
