RISAnalytical Investigation on Catenary Action in Unbonded Prestressed Concrete Beam-Column Subassemblages
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: One reinforced concrete (RC) and four prestressed concrete (PC) beam-column subassemblages with various tendon profiles were designed and tested to investigate the effect of prestressed tendon profiles on the progressive ...
Influence of Confinement Interaction on the Compressive Behavior of Steel Tube–Reinforced Concrete Columns
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A steel tube–reinforced concrete (ST-RC) column is composed of the inner concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) component and peripheral reinforced concrete (RC) component. In this study, the confinement interaction mechanism ...
Application of a SOM-Based Optimization Algorithm in Minimizing Construction Time for Secant Pile Wall
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction time matters for activities where rental equipment must be used. The building of a secant pile wall requires the rental of equipment and finding the optimal sequence to minimize the construction time is one ...
Multiobjective Dynamic-Guiding PSO for Optimizing Work Shift Schedules
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Work shift system is commonly used in construction projects to meet project deadlines. However, evening and night shifts raise the risk of adverse events and thus must be used to the minimum extent feasible. The three ...
Impacts of Nodal Demand Allocations on Transient-Based Skeletonization of Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Urban water distribution systems (WDSs) are often skeletonized to enable efficient system analysis and management. While different methods are available to account for transient dynamics within the skeletonization processes, ...
Theoretical Axial and Lateral Stress–Strain Model for Steel Tube–Reinforced Concrete Column
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Steel tube–reinforced concrete (STRC) columns are composite members consisting of an inner concrete-filled steel tube (ICFST) component and an outer reinforced concrete (ORC) component. These columns are commonly used in ...
Static Load Test on the Progressive Collapse Resistance of Precast Concrete Frame Substructure during and after High Temperature
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the recent increased use of precast concrete (PC) structures, their progressive collapse resistance under hazardous conditions, such as explosion and fire, has become a great concern for the structural engineering ...
Shear Mechanism and Size Effect of RC Deep Beams without Stirrups Based on Crack Kinematics in Tests
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Based on the experimental results, this paper investigates the shear mechanism of reinforced concrete deep beams without stirrups. By analyzing the kinematics of the critical shear crack, it can be found that the compression ...
Study of P-V-T-C Relation of EMC
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A two-plunger-type dilatometer was designed and fabricated to measure cure-induced volume changes of epoxy molding compound (EMC). The device is suitable for studying volume change of material ...
