Reliability Analysis of RC Columns and Frame with FRP Strengthening Subjected to Explosive Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Some structures, both military and civilian, might experience explosive loads during their service life. Owing to high uncertainties in blast load predictions and structural parameters, accurate assessment of the performances ...
Optimized Design of Foam Cladding for Protection of Reinforced Concrete Members under Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A load-cladding-structure (LCS) model was used to study the mitigating effect provided by metallic foam cladding against blast loading on reinforced concrete (RC) structural members. The model considered the interactions ...
Reliability Analysis of RC Columns and Frame with FRP Strengthening Subjected to Explosive Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Some structures, both military and civilian, might experience explosive loads during their service life. Owing to high uncertainties in blast load predictions and structural parameters, accurate assessment of the performances ...
Performance Tests and Hysteresis Model of MRF-04K Damper
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Magnetorheolgical (MR) fluid is a kind of smart material whose rheological properties can be rapidly varied by application of a magnetic field. To take full use of the advantages of MR fluid for devices, a double-ended ...
Seismic Performance of Precast Segmental Concrete-Filled Steel-Tube Bridge Columns with Internal and External Energy Dissipaters
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The prefabricated segmental column using posttensioning technology has become an ideal candidate for rapid and environmentally friendly construction. To avoid damage to the segment joint during a seismic event and enhance ...
Effects of Electrode Materials on the Degradation of Sulfamethoxazole in Biofilm Electrode Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is frequently detected in water, which can cause bacterial resistance and spread resistance genes. Activated carbon, graphite rods, and carbon fiber were used as electrodes to construct biofilm ...
Failure Analysis and Damage Assessment of RC Columns under Close-In Explosions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Blast loads acting on structural components under close-in explosions are nonuniform; therefore, the damage to structural members under such blast loads is local and the failure mechanism is more complex as compared with ...
Application of Cement-Based Piezoelectric Sensors for Monitoring Traffic Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, the preliminary application of a new type of cement-based piezoelectric sensor developed recently for monitoring the traffic flows is proposed and investigated. The sensor was made by bonding between two ...
Stability Prediction for Real-Time Hybrid Simulation with Different Physical and Numerical Substructure Discretization Using Asynchronous Multirate Simulation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) is an emerging high-efficiency and low-cost structural test method. Stability analysis is a very important part of RTHS to ensure the stability of the experimental system. Currently, there ...
Enhanced Degradation of Phenanthrene by Soil MFCs: Synergistic Interaction between Iron Minerals and Microorganisms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The bioelectrochemical system can enhance the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil by the enrichment and improved diversification of microbial communities, as well as the electroactive microbial ...
