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.

Out-of-Plane Behavior of Lightweight Metallic Sandwich Panels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Evaluation of ASCE 43-05 Seismic Design Criteria for Rocking Objects in Nuclear Facilities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The seismic interaction of unanchored objects with a seismically qualified system or component in a nuclear power plant (NPP) can be detrimental to nuclear safety. In order to assess the seismic risk, an accurate quantification ...
Multilaminate Macromodel for Concrete Masonry: Formulation and Verification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A macromodel was developed to predict the in-plane behavior of concrete masonry. In this multilaminate model, the masonry assemblage is replaced by an equivalent material which consists of a homogenous medium intersected ...
Modeling the Nonlinear Behavior of Concrete Masonry Walls Retrofitted with Steel Studs under Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an analytical investigation of one-way unreinforced masonry (URM) walls retrofitted with externally anchored steel studs and subjected to blast loads. Using the wall geometrical and ...
Performance Enhancement of Steel Columns Using Concrete-Filled Composite Jackets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper studies the cross-sectional behavior of steel columns strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs). The composite column is constructed by wrapping the steel I-section column with epoxy-saturated glass- ...
Seismic Performance Parameters for Reinforced Concrete-Block Shear Wall Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The focus of the current study is to analyze previously reported test results to evaluate equivalent plastic hinge lengths for concrete-block shear walls and to extract related seismic performance parameters. Inelastic ...
Seismic Response Modification Factors for Reinforced Masonry Structural Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current North American design standards provide seismic force modification factors for the rectangular masonry structural walls category only; no similar provisions for flanged and end-confined masonry structural walls ...
Performance of Unreinforced Masonry Walls Retrofitted with Externally Anchored Steel Studs under Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Six full-scale concrete masonry walls were tested under free-field blast loading using different charge sizes up to 250 kg of ammonium nitrate/fuel oil (ANFO) and at a constant stand-off distance of 15.0 m to cover a wide ...
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
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 ...
