Protection of a 193.5-m High Concrete Tube-Shaped TV Tower Close to Subway Excavations
(ASCE, 7/31/2023 )A 193.5-m high concrete tube-shaped TV tower in the city of Nantong, China, was founded on short piled–raft footing, whose safety was threatened by implementation of four 10.9–26.5-m-deep excavations for an interchange ... -
Selection of an Optimized Maintenance Policy for Rendered Facades
(ASCE, 6/23/2023 )The maintenance of external facades’ claddings has been neglected over the years. The maintenance actions were limited to total replacement when the claddings showed a severe degradation condition. However, in the last ... -
Development of Fragility Functions for Brick Masonry Structures Using Damage Data from September 24, 2019, Earthquake in Mirpur, Azad Kashmir
(ASCE, 5/22/2023 )This paper presents fragility functions for clay brick unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings that were developed using the data of damage and earthquake intensity by the September 24, 2019, Mirpur, Azad Jammu and Kashmir ... -
Evaluation of Pedestrian-Induced In-Service Building Floor Performance Based on Short-Term Monitoring
(ASCE, 8/17/2023 )Pedestrian-induced vibration (PIV) is often the most persistent issue affecting the floor serviceability of buildings. These vibrations may cause discomfort to occupants and may also adversely affect the performance of ... -
State of Preservation and Intervention Proposal in a Modern Architecture Building: The Auditorium of the Labor University of Cheste, Spain
(ASCE, 5/24/2023 )Modernist architecture buildings have been socially undervalued as part of the heritage of architecture. Fortunately, in recent times, some movements have emerged, such as the International Committee for Documentation and ... -
Characterizing the Performance of Adhesive Used in Glued-In Rod Timber Connections at Elevated Temperatures
(ASCE, 6/5/2023 1)A glued-in rod, which combines timber, a metal rod, and structural adhesive, is a type of connection whose fire performance is complicated to define since the rod depends on the adhesive’s thermomechanical properties. The ... -
Machine-Learning Model for Predicting Maintenance Costs of EPDM Roofing Systems
(ASCE, 8/25/2023 )Facility managers often need to accurately predict the annual maintenance of their building roofs to develop reliable and cost-effective maintenance plans that maximize their performance and life expectancy. This article ... -
Progressive Collapse Analysis of Intermediate Moment-Resisting Steel Frame under Fire-Induced Column Failure
(ASCE, 5/31/2023 )This paper evaluated the progressive collapse robustness of steel intermediate moment-resisting frames (MRFs) under different fire-induced column failure scenarios. For this purpose, 3-, 7-, and 12-story intermediate MRFs ... -
Achieving Functional Recovery through Seismic Retrofit of Existing Buildings: Barriers and Opportunities
(ASCE, 5/11/2023 )Earthquakes can cause extensive damage to buildings, with lengthy impacts in terms of community recovery. As a result, there is a growing interest in design approaches and standards for buildings that ensure postearthquake ... -
Dynamic Probabilistic Risk Assessment of Overpressure Burst of Pipeline with Pressure-Protection Systems in Case of Blockage
(ASCE, 5/25/2023 )Although overpressure burst of pipeline with pressure-protection systems occurs infrequently in case of blockage, it endangers personnel safety and causes serious economic loss when it happens. Therefore, assessing the ... -
Effect of Combined Blast and Fragment Loading on RC Wall and Its Mitigation Using Composite Sections
(ASCE, 6/27/2023 )The damages incurred in RC walls subjected to combined loading of blast and fragment as a result of a cased-charge detonation are studied here using the finite-element (FE) analysis method. A series of FE analyses were ... -
Evaluating Arkansas Weathering Steel Bridge Performance
(ASCE, 7/10/2023 )Weathering steel enhances corrosion-resistant steel features over conventional steel when a patina properly forms on the weathering steel surface. The patina is a dense protective oxide film layer that develops on the steel ... -
