Micromechanics Model to Describe Strain Behavior of Concrete in Freezing Process
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: On the basis of micromechanics consideration of frost damage, a theoretical model to describe the freeze-induced strain behavior of porous materials such as concrete is presented. The model is derived from the thermodynamic ...
Discussion of “System Identification and Damage Detection of a Prestressed Concrete Beam” by Jörg F. Unger, Anne Teughels, and Guido De Roeck
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Transverse Bursting Stresses due to Horizontally Curved Tendons in the Top Slab of Box Girders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Technical, Managerial, and Organizational Changes in Adapting an E-Commerce Model in Civil Engineering Design and Consulting Services
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Encouraging experiments and practices in e-commerce over the past several years are now contributing to and enhancing our understanding of the critical issues involved in leveraging the potential of these technologies. The ...
Discussion of “<i>Effect of Gravel on Hydraulic Conductivity of Compacted Soil Liners</i>” by Thomas L. Shelley and David E. Daniel (January, 1993, Vol. 119, No. 1)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Fractal Approach to Measuring Roughness of Geomembranes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fractal analysis was used to evaluate the roughness of four commercially available geomembranes used in waste-containment systems. Fractal analysis uses the concept of the fractal dimension
Determination of Apparent Activation Energy of Concrete by TMC and Mathematical Means
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a novel procedure to determine the apparent activation energy (
Discussion of “Rotation-Based Shear Failure Model for Lightly Confined RC Columns” by Wassim M. Ghannoum and Jack P. Moehle
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Identification of Influence Lines for Highway Bridges Using Bayesian Parametric Estimation Based on Computer Vision Measurements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Conventional methods to identify influence lines, which are essential in design and evaluation of bridges, use contact sensors involving high upfront and operational costs. This paper presents an approach to identifying ...
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 ...
