(ASCE, 10/1/2021)This paper developed a model for predicting the temporal failure probability of prestressed concrete (PC) highway bridges. The model updates predictions based on data from nondestructive testing and visual inspections. ... -
Pore Structure and Compressive Strength of Tailings Concrete under Dry-Wet Cycles of Chloride Attack
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)To investigate the relation between pore structure and compressive strength, ordinary portland cement (OPC) concrete (C), tailings concrete (T), and tailings concrete mixed with steel fiber (TF8) were subjected to dry-wet ... -
Performance-Based Building System Manufacturer Selection Decision Framework for Integration into Total Cost of Ownership Evaluations
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Facility managers are often faced with building system procurement or replacement decisions, requiring them to select a system from among competitive manufacturers. Total cost of ownership (TCO) criteria, informed by built ... -
GIS-Based Financial Analysis Model for Integrated Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Underground Pipe Networks
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)The monitoring and determination of the suitable time for performing the maintenance works of municipal infrastructures consisting of water, sewer, drainage, and road networks have been matters of concern for the related ... -
Numerical Investigation on Instability of Buildings Caused by Adjacent Deep Excavation
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)The embedded ratio of retaining structures and improved depth of ground at an excavation base are two key factors for the stability of deep excavation. For a collapsed excavation in soft clay in Hangzhou, China, a numerical ... -
Bending Stiffness and Load–Deflection Response Prediction of Mass Timber Panel–Concrete Composite Floor System with Mechanical Connectors
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Mass timber panel–concrete (MTPC) composite floor systems are currently the preferred choice of designers for multistory modern mass timber construction. An analytical model for one-way-acting composite panels has been ... -
Damage Observation of Reinforced Concrete Buildings after 2020 Sivrice (Elazığ) Earthquake, Turkey
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)An earthquake with a magnitude of Mw=6.8 and a depth of approximately 8.06 km occurred on January 24, 2020, with the epicenter near the town of Sivrice in Elazığ province, Turkey. The earthquake resulted in numerous ... -
Seismic Response of Braced Heavy Timber Frames with Riveted Connections
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Braced timber frames (BTFs) are one the most efficient lateral load–resisting systems to resist earthquake and high wind loads. Design guidelines for this system currently do not exist in Canadian wood design standards. ... -
Comparative Exam of Deterioration in Cladded Facades with Cement Mortar
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)This research presents the usual types of damages and the causes that occur most frequently in building facades, through the analysis of all judicial complaints in Spain over 6 years. These facades all were cladded ... -
Structural Response of Multistory RC Buildings to Excavation of a Disposal Well
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Soakaway disposal wells are used heavily in Sudan for on-site sanitation systems. These wells have a diameter of 1.5–2.0 m, a depth ranging from 10 to 35 m, and postinstalled brick walls. They often are ... -
A Flood Resilience Analytics Framework for Housing Infrastructure Systems Based on Dempster–Shafer (Evidence) Theory
(ASCE, 12/1/2021)Resilience is defined as the enduring capacity of a system or infrastructure system against natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes and to restore to stipulated performance limits after the occurrence ... -
Fully Automated Operational Modal Identification Using Continuously Monitoring Data of Bridge Structures
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Structural modal identification for providing dynamic properties, including frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes, plays an important role in structural health monitoring and safety assessment. Automated modal ... -
