RISAssessment of Damage Risks to Residential Buildings and Cost–Benefit of Mitigation Strategies Considering Hurricane and Earthquake Hazards
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Damage to residential buildings in the United States caused by hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural hazards is significant. Economic losses average approximately $5.4 billion annually from hurricanes and approximately ...
Assimilating Observations with Spatially Correlated Errors Using a Serial Ensemble Filter with a Multiscale Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Loss Estimation of Light-Frame Wood Construction Subjected to Mainshock-Aftershock Sequences
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Aftershocks occur following an earthquake of large magnitude (referred to as the mainshock) and cause further damage to buildings that may have sustained damage in the mainshock. In this paper, an object-oriented framework ...
Plain Concrete Prisms Externally Strengthened by CFRP Bonded with Graphene Oxide–Modified Magnesium Phosphate Cement
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Graphene oxide (GO)–modified magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) is used as an adhesive to bond carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites in the formation of MPC-CFRP strengthening materials. The performance of ...
Ability of Hardened Paste of Cementitious Calcium–Aluminophosphate Mineral to Bind with Chloride Ions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Phosphoaluminate cement (PAC) is a green cementing material with wide application prospects. Its main mineral compositions are calcium aluminate (CA), tricalcium phosphate (C3P), and calcium aluminophosphate (CAP). In this ...
Design of Axially Loaded Piles in Consolidating Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The present design method in various codes for axially loaded piles embedded in consolidating soil is not satisfactory. It is too conservative in calculating the maximum pile force. Furthermore, the additional pile settlement ...
Anti-Unwinding Immersion and Invariance Adaptive Attitude Control of Rigid Spacecraft with Inertia Uncertainties
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A modular anti-unwinding dynamic scaling–based immersion and invariance (I&I) adaptive control is devised for rigid spacecraft attitude with inertia uncertainties. It is shown that the parametric regressor matrix cannot ...
Practical Guide for the Assessment and Repair of Fire-Damaged Concrete Building Structures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Fire is a common occurrence in recent years. Judging from the 21 case studies reviewed in the present study, the approaches adopted in the assessment of fire-damaged concrete building structures varied considerably. A ...
Exploratory Study of the Fin Plate Connections of a Circular Hollow Section Structure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Four specimens of a circular tubular structure with fin plate connections were load tested to failure and compared with the corresponding finite-element method (FEM) analyses. There have been no investigations of such a ...
Deep Excavation in Soft Normally Consolidated Clay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents the case histories of deep excavation for the basements of two projects using 11 retaining walls supported by stabilizing berms. Most of the case studies reported in the literature are confined to the ...
