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.

Size Effect on FRP External Reinforcement and Retrofit of Concrete Structures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The size effect on the strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams flexurally strengthened by surface bonded sheets of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is studied. As the failure is neither ductile nor brittle, but quasibrittle, ...
Size Effect on Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete: Is CSCT or MCFT a Viable Alternative to Energy-Based Design Code?
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: After sketching the history of the size effect models for the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) in design codes, the energy-based size effect law (SEL), recently incorporated into the American Concrete Institute ...
Spontaneous Collapse Mechanism of World Trade Center Twin Towers and Progressive Collapse in General
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) Towers during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, remains one of the most tragic catastrophes in the field of structural engineering. This paper first reviews a ...
Coefficient of Variation of Shear Strength of RC Beams and Size Effect
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In shear failure, reinforced concrete (RC) beams always develop, in a stable manner, a finite length crack before the maximum load is reached. Thus, the crack tip location cannot sample a large volume of material with ...
What We Can and Cannot Learn from a Single Shear Test of a Very Large RC Beam
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In the existing database on shear load capacity, tests of very large beams are scarce. Valuable additions to the database have recently been made in 2021 at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB), and in 2015 at the ...
Proposal of m-Index for Rating Fracture and Damage Models by Their Ability to Represent a Set of Distinctive Experiments
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A recent comparative study revealed that the commonly offered experimental validations of peridynamics and phase-field fracture models have been insufficient because they involved only nondistinctive experiments, ...
Crack-Parallel Stress Effect on Fracture of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Revealed by Gap Tests
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study on how the crack-parallel stress affects the fracture properties of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) using the gap test—a new simple fracture test invented and used for concrete at ...
