Abstract: The American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) 1983 code, “Seismic Design of Highway Bridges,” does not cover explicitly suspension bridges. Nevertheless, if AASHTO earthquake excitation is ...

Abstract: Test results are presented showing stress‐strain diagrams of aged and young plain concrete columns

Abstract: Besides the pendulum action developed by the suspended deck, the restoring force exerted by a cable during lateral displacements is expressed by the horizontal component of the cable tension, times the curvature of the ...

Abstract: The stress‐strain diagram of a short concrete specimen under compressive uniaxial load cycles is enveloped by a curve that matches the stress‐strain curve obtained under constantly increasing strain. At least eight published ...

Abstract: The analytic response for the Cauchy extra stress in large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) is computed from a constitutive model for isotropic incompressible materials, including viscoelastic contributions, and relaxation ...
