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.

On the Optimality Criteria for Archgrids
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The optimization of an archgrid consisting of a system of parallel arches running in a number of arbitrary directions is presented. It is established that the archgrid must finish with a single middle surface in the optimal ...
Stability of Nonsymmetric Cross‐Bracing Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When a lateral force acts on a cross‐bracing system, one brace member is subjected to a compressive force while the other is subjected to a tensile force. The tension brace provides a restraint to its compression counterpart ...
Improved Computation of Stress Resultants in the <i>p</i>-Ritz Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper highlights the problems encountered in bending and vibration analysis of thin plates when using the
Finite-Element Analysis of Steel–Concrete Composite Plate Girder
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper deals with finite-element (FE) modeling and nonlinear analysis of steel–concrete composite plate girders under negative bending and shear loading. A three-dimensional FE model, using a general purpose finite-element ...
Optimal Designs of I‐Beams against Lateral Buckling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper concerns the optimal distribution of a given volume of material in I‐beams so as to maximize the elastic flexural‐torsional buckling capacities. The material distribution has been restricted to different ...
Lateral Buckling of Doubly Symmetric Beams Containing Openings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When a slender beam is transversely loaded in the plane of its greatest flexural rigidity, it may buckle laterally at a critical load. It is common practice to provide web openings in beams for the passage of service ducts ...
Experimental Study on Steel Beams Curved in Plan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the ultimate load behavior of I-beams curved in plan. Results obtained from experiments on two sets of I-beams (one comprising rolled sections and the other built-up sections) are presented. ...
Propagation of Axisymmetric Transients in a Rod
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The propagation of axisymmetric transients in a rod, governed by the Mindlin‐McNiven theory, is treated by the method of wave‐front expansion. The transients are due to impulsive‐end loading specified in the form of stress, ...
