RISFinite-Element Analysis of Textile-Reinforced Mortar Strengthening of Shear-Deficient Reinforced Concrete Beams
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, nonlinear finite-element analysis (FEA) will be employed to investigate textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) jackets for shear strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams. FEA models of TRM shear strengthened RC ...
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Strengthening of Steel Beams under Static and Fatigue Loadings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) was used to investigate the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) retrofitted steel beams subjected to static and fatigue loadings. Under static loading, damaged ...
Behavior of FRP Jacketed Concrete Columns under Eccentric Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a study on the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketed square concrete columns subjected to eccentric loading. The effect of strain gradient on the behavior of concrete columns confined by ...
Seismic Performance of Jacket Type Offshore Platforms Through Incremental Dynamic Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fixed offshore platforms in seismic active areas may be subjected to strong ground motions, causing the platform to undergo deformation well into the inelastic range. In this paper, incremental ...
Local Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Textile Reinforced Mortar Jackets under Gravity and Cyclic Loadings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigates the effectiveness of local strengthening using textile reinforced mortar (TRM) jackets on the global response of reinforced concrete (RC) frames under gravity and lateral cyclic loadings. Finite ...
Reduction in Auxiliary Energy Consumption in a Solar Adsorption Cooling System by Utilization of Phase Change Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study investigates the efficiency of application of phase change materials (PCMs) in a solar cooling system. The proposed system consists of an adsorption chiller and a latent heat storage unit (LHSU) containing PCMs. ...
Optimal Structures for Decentralized Provision of Roads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Local governments are increasingly responsible for the provision of roads. Arguments for decentralization assume that local agencies have a better understanding of local demands and are better able to allocate scarce ...
Investigation of Eccentrically Loaded CFRP-Confined Elliptical Concrete Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a finite-element analysis study of elliptical concrete columns, converted from rectangular cross sections and confined with carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) through an enhancement/strengthening ...
Vehicle Collision Impact Response of Bridge Pier Strengthened with Composites
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Shortening delays for immediate access to essential public infrastructures when subjected to rare extreme loadings are critical to promptly normalize socioeconomic activities. Public infrastructure networks contain numbers ...
Optimization of Waterflooding Performance in a Layered Reservoir Using a Combination of Capacitance Resistive Model and Genetic Algorithm Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Managing oil production from reservoirs to maximize the future economic return of the asset is an important issue in petroleum engineering. In many applications in reservoir modeling and management, there is a need for ...
