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.

Minimum Reinforcement in High‐Strength Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A dimensional analysis criterion is proposed to compute the minimum amount of reinforcement for high‐strength concrete members in flexure. Such an amount is assumed to be provided by the condition of simultaneous first ...
Analysis of Snap-Back Instability due to End-Plate Debonding in Strengthened Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The problem of end-plate debonding of the external reinforcement in strengthened concrete beams is analyzed in this paper. As experimentally observed, this mode of failure is highly brittle and poses severe limitations to ...
Discussion of “<i>Analvsis of Mixed‐Mode Fracture in Concrete</i>” by Jan G. Rots and René de Borst (November, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 11)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Softening and Snap‐Through Behavior of Reinforced Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The writers present a fracture mechanics model for reinforced concrete collapse, which is a refinement of that proposed previously, based on compliance and stress‐intensification concepts. In this case, a crack‐opening ...
