RISAdvanced Analysis for Performance-based Design of Steel Structures Exposed to Fires
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an advanced plastic hinge analysis method that can be used to assess the performance of steel structures exposed to fire. The main feature of the analysis is to use as few elements as possible to model ...
Finite-Element Modeling of Skid Resistance Test
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The British pendulum test is one of the most common laboratory test methods for the determination of low-speed microtexture-related skid resistance properties of pavement surface materials. This paper presents the development ...
Effect of Aggregate Spacing on Skid Resistance of Asphalt Pavement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the design of skid resistant asphalt pavements, it is a common practice in pavement engineering to perform laboratory tests to ensure that the paving aggregate has the required frictional resistance and wheel-polishing ...
Mode Mixity for Circular Hollow Section X Joints With Weld Toe Cracks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the mode mixity of stress-intensity factors for surface cracks at weld toes located at the saddle point in circular hollow section X joints. The remote loading applies a ...
Static Strength of Thick-Walled CHS X-Joints Subjected to Brace Moment Loadings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents results from a systematic finite-element (FE) study on the static strength of moment loaded thick-walled circular hollow section (CHS) X-joints, and compares the results with CIDECT and ISO/CD 13819-2 ...
Static Strength of Axially Loaded Elliptical Hollow Section X Joints with Braces Welded to Wide Sides of Chord. II: Parametric Study and Strength Equations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A research program consisting of experimental tests and finite-element (FE) analyses has been carried out to study the behavior and static strength of axially loaded elliptical hollow section (EHS) X joints of two ...
Static Strength of Axially Loaded Elliptical Hollow Section X Joints with Braces Welded to Wide Sides of Chord. I: Numerical Investigations Based on Experimental Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experimental tests and subsequent finite-element (FE) calibration studies were conducted to study the static strength of axially loaded X joints between elliptical hollow sections (EHS) with braces welded to the wide sides ...
Simulation of Ductile Fracture of Circular Hollow Section Joints Using the Gurson Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Numerical modeling of the fracture effects on the strength of steel circular hollow section joints has not been sufficiently addressed historically. The Gurson model simulates the plastic yield behavior of material with ...
Static Strength of T-Joints Reinforced with Doubler or Collar Plates. I: Experimental Investigations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One of the alternatives to enhance the strength of a tubular joint involves the application of doubler or collar plates as reinforcement. In order to gain understanding of the effect of plate reinforcement on the ultimate ...
Static Strength of T-Joints Reinforced with Doubler or Collar Plates. II: Numerical Simulations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the companion paper, the results of 12 tests on reinforced and unreinforced tubular T-joints subjected to axial brace loading were presented. The current study reports the finite element (FE) simulations of these 12 ...
