RISFinite-Element Analysis of Steel Bridge Distortion-Induced Fatigue
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Welded plate girder bridges built before the mid-1980s are often susceptible to fatigue cracking driven by out-of-plane distortion. However, methods for prediction of secondary stresses are not specifically addressed by ...
Fatigue Behavior and Retrofit Investigation of Distortion-Induced Web Gap Cracking1
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper studies a Kansas Department of Transportation welded plate girder bridge that developed fatigue cracks at small web gaps close to the girder top flange. Repair had been previously performed by softening the ...
E-Waste Stream Analysis and Design Implications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The quantity and age of the incoming stream of “feedstock” from product take-back systems are known as the major sources of the uncertainty that complicates the e-waste recovery. This paper ...
Varying Lifecycle Lengths Within a Product Take-Back Portfolio
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Product take-back and reuse is sometimes at odds with the rapidly evolving desires of some customers. For other customers, the environmental benefits of reuse more than compensate for minor ...
Shear Resistance and Design of Infill Panels in Corrugated-Plate Shear Walls
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Steel corrugated shear walls (SCSWs) are an alternative to ordinary steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) with flat infill plates. This paper deals with the shear resistance design of corrugated panels in SCSWs under monotonic ...
Threshold Stiffness of Discrete Lateral Bracing for Out-of-Plane Buckling of Steel Arches
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Experimental Investigation into Flexural-Torsional Ultimate Resistance of Steel Circular Arches
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper deals with experimental investigations into flexural-torsional ultimate resistance of in-plane-pinned circular steel arches. Three I-section arches with the same span but different rise-to-span ratios were tested ...
Flexural-Torsional Buckling and Ultimate Resistance of Parabolic Steel Arches Subjected to Uniformly Distributed Vertical Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper focuses on the flexural-torsional buckling and ultimate resistance of parabolic steel arches with box sections subjected to full-span uniformly distributed vertical load by using finite-element numerical analyses. ...
Out-of-Plane Elastic Buckling of Circular Arches with Elastic End Restraints
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Circular arches subjected to in-plane loading are restrained with discrete lateral bracings to improve their out-of-plane stabilities in many cases. The arch segment between two adjacent bracings may buckle out of plane ...
Ultimate Resistance Design of Shuttle-Shaped Steel Tubular Latticed Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As a new type of nonprismatic built-up columns, the shuttle-shaped steel tubular latticed (SSTL) column is widely used in engineering structures. However, there are no methods available to test its ultimate resistance ...
