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.

Shear Capacity for Flange-Web Intersection of Concrete Block Shear Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Adequate shear strength between the web(s) and the flange(s) in flanged masonry shear walls is essential for the wall to provide the required stiffness and strength. In this regard, an experimental investigation was conducted ...
Seismic Design Parameters for Special Masonry Structural Walls Detailed with Confined Boundary Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, the results from a test program focusing on the behavior of eleven fully grouted reinforced masonry (RM) structural walls containing confined boundary elements are analyzed and presented according to force, ...
Seismic Response Analysis of Lightly Reinforced Concrete Block Masonry Shear Walls Based on Shake Table Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents detailed analyses of experimental shake table test results with the goal of providing a better understanding of the seismic performance of lightly reinforced fully grouted masonry shear walls. The paper ...
Behavior of Composite Unreinforced Masonry–Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Wall Assemblages Under In-Plane Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted to study the in-plane behavior of face shell mortar bedded unreinforced masonry (URM) wall assemblages retrofitted with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates. Forty-two URM ...
Damage Detection of FRP-Strengthened Concrete Structures Using Capacitance Measurements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a new concept for detecting air voids, water intrusion, and glue infiltration damages in fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs)-strengthened concrete structures was developed. The concept, based on detecting the ...
Seismic Response Evaluation of Ductile Reinforced Concrete Block Structural Walls. I: Experimental Results and Force-Based Design Parameters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The reported experimental study documents the performance of six fully grouted reinforced concrete block structural walls tested under quasistatic cyclic loading. The walls fall under the ductile shear walls and the special ...
Seismic Response Evaluation of Ductile Reinforced Concrete Block Structural Walls. II: Displacement and Performance–Based Design Parameters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A typical seismically designed reinforced masonry building is composed of structural walls, constructed following the same prescriptive detailing requirements corresponding to a code classified seismic force resisting ...
Seismic Risk Assessment of Nonengineered Residential Buildings in Developing Countries
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A previous study by the authors provides an overview of existing seismic risk assessment approaches and available seismic fragility information and highlights the lack of relevant information for nonengineered residential ...
Influence of Slenderness on the Behavior of a FRP-Encased Steel-Concrete Composite Column
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The compressive behavior of a steel-concrete composite column encased in a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tube is evaluated experimentally for columns with various slenderness ratios. The composite column consists of a FRP ...
Seismic Risk Assessment of Nonengineered Residential Buildings: State of the Practice
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The poor socioeconomic conditions in developing countries often lead to poorly constructed residential buildings that are particularly vulnerable to damage during an earthquake. A review of available literature carried out ...
