ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

RISFull-Scale Testing of a Viscoelastic Coupling Damper for High-Rise Building Applications and Comparative Evaluation of Different Numerical Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Viscoelastic coupling dampers (VCDs) are used for the seismic and wind protection of tall buildings. In the past, several tests have been carried out on VCDs under severe loading conditions for concept validation purposes ...
Intermediate Web Stiffener Spacing Evaluation for Shear Links
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are a widely used steel seismic resisting system due to their combination of high elastic stiffness and high ductility. The key component of this system is the portion of the beam in the ...
Unsteady Theoretical Analysis on the Wake-Induced Vibration of Suspension Bridge Hangers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The hangers on long-span suspension bridges are significantly prone to wind-induced vibrations due to their light mass, low frequency, and small structural damping. These vibrations are known to cause fatigue problems and ...
Ultralow Cycle Fatigue Tests and Fracture Prediction Models for Duplex Stainless-Steel Devices of High Seismic Performance Braced Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents ultralow cycle fatigue tests and the calibration of different fracture models for duplex stainless-steel devices of high seismic performance braced frames. Two different geometries of the devices were ...
Power Spectral-Density Model for Pedestrian Walking Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Intensive vibrations may occur in slender structures like footbridges and long-span floors due to movement of pedestrians. Problems are usually treated in the time domain as Fourier series models of the forcing function, ...
Operational Modal Analysis and Finite-Element Model Updating of Pilot Concrete Wind Turbine Tower
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This article deals with the dynamic behavior of a reinforced and posttensioned concrete structure for applications in wind turbine towers. Measurements were performed using triaxial accelerometers in a 30 m high tower ...
ASCE 7-16 Lateral Force Distribution Equations for Static Design of Seismically Isolated Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Chapter 17, “Seismic Design Requirements for Seismically Isolated Structures,” in the 2016 edition of the ASCE 7 Standard, Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, includes major ...
Seismic Performance of a Novel Single and Double Spring-Based Piston Bracing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concentric braced frames (CBFs) are commonly used all over the world to resist seismic forces in buildings. Buckling, however, is a major concern for CBFs, in which they lose their strength and stiffness when subjected to ...
Behavior of Steel-Plate Composite Wall Piers under Biaxial Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Steel-plate composite (SC) structures may be subjected to combination of in-plane and out-of-plane forces for extreme loading combinations (e.g., seismic and accident thermal). This paper presents the results from ...
Impact of Four Physical Design Factors on Mixed-Income Housing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The goal of this study was to survey the impact of design factors upon a mixed percentage of subsidized and market rate units. After content analysis of research, four physical factors, including unit number, site area, ...
