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.

Discussion of “<i>Eigenvalues for Beam‐Columns on Elastic Supports</i>” by Harry H. West and Mohammad Mafi (June, 1984)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Properties of PVB Interlayer Used in Laminated Glass
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A thin elastomeric interlayer called polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is used to bond two or more thin glass plates to form a composite commonly called a laminated glass unit. Even though experiments have been performed to determine ...
Modified Vlasov Model for Beams on Elastic Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Realizing the inadequacy of the classical Winkler model to represent an elastic continuum, Vlasov and Leont'ev developed a two‐parameter model for a beam on an elastic foundation. The Vlasov model required an estimation ...
Analysis of Laminated Glass Units
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Laminated glass units used for glazing buildings consist of two thin glass plates bonded together by a thin core material, called polyvinyl butyral (PVB). As the plates are usually thin and undergo large lateral displacements, ...
Parametric Study of Beams on Elastic Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Even though the two‐parameter model developed by Vlasov for beams on elastic foundations represents the interaction between the beams and the foundation better than the Winkler model, it requires an estimation of a third ...
Refined Model for Analysis of Plates on Elastic Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Practicing engineers continue to use the Winkler model for the analysis of beams and plates resting on elastic foundations in spite of the disclosure of inconsistencies in the use of the Winkler model by past researchers. ...
Analysis of Circular Tank Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The analysis of axisymmetric circular tank foundations has been made in the past using the classical Winkler model, where the properties of the elastic foundation are modeled by one parameter,
Parametric Study of Axisymmetric Circular‐Glass Plates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Thin‐glass window‐glass plates undergo deflections 10 times their thickness before they fail by brittle fracture and, hence, a complete‐elastic large‐deflection analysis of glass plates was found to be necessary to assess ...
