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.

The Void Growth Model and the Stress Modified Critical Strain Model to Predict Ductile Fracture in Structural Steels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Material tests and analyses are presented to investigate the accuracy of two micromechanics-based continuum criteria for predicting ductile crack initiation in low-carbon steels, which are representative of mild steels ...
Prediction of Ductile Fracture in Steel Connections Using SMCS Criterion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Conventional fracture mechanics approaches have limited capabilities to accurately predict fracture under conditions of large scale yielding or in complex geometries where there are no significant pre-existing flaws. Such ...
Finite-Element Simulation of Ductile Fracture in Reduced Section Pull-Plates Using Micromechanics-Based Fracture Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Micromechanics-based models that capture interactions of stress and strain provide accurate criteria to predict ductile fracture in finite-element simulations of structural steel components. Two such models—the void growth ...
Behavior of Screw and Adhesive Connections to Gypsum Wallboard in Wood and Cold-Formed Steel-Framed Wallettes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Increasing the lateral strength and stiffness of light-frame structures can lead to reduced damage in the event of an earthquake. Because low-rise wood and cold-formed steel-framed buildings often contain many partition ...
Behavior of Screw and Adhesive Connections to Gypsum Wallboard in Wood and Cold-Formed Steel-Framed Wallettes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Increasing the lateral strength and stiffness of light-frame structures can lead to reduced damage in the event of an earthquake. Because low-rise wood and cold-formed steel-framed buildings often contain many partition ...
Cyclic Void Growth Model to Assess Ductile Fracture Initiation in Structural Steels due to Ultra Low Cycle Fatigue
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new model is proposed to simulate ductile fracture initiation due to large amplitude cyclic straining in structural steels, which is often the governing limit state in steel structures subjected to earthquakes. Termed ...
Parametric Study of Seismic Isolation Properties for Light-Frame Houses
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Seismic isolation is a proven technology to protect structures from large earthquakes; however, it has not been extensively implemented in light-frame residential houses in the United States because of perceived high costs, ...
Validation of Cyclic Void Growth Model for Fracture Initiation in Blunt Notch and Dogbone Steel Specimens
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tests and finite-element analyses of blunt notch and dogbone specimens are presented to demonstrate the application and validation of the cyclic void growth model (CVGM) to evaluate the initiation of ductile fracture under ...
Experimental Investigation of Inelastic Cyclic Buckling and Fracture of Steel Braces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Results from 18 large-scale tests of steel bracing members are presented to examine their inelastic buckling and fracture behavior as related to the seismic design of concentrically braced frames. The brace specimens include ...
Calibration of the SMCS Criterion for Ductile Fracture in Steels: Specimen Size Dependence and Parameter Assessment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The stress modified critical strain (SMCS) criterion provides a local index for the initiation of ductile fracture in metals as a function of plastic strain and stress triaxiality. Previous research has confirmed the SMCS ...
