RISResponse of Cross‐Anisotropic Seabed to Ocean Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Quasi‐static field equations for fully saturated porous elastic media, based on Biot's theory (1972‐1973), established in the writer's previous works (1989‐1990) are used in order to describe the behavior of such materials ...
Impact of Climate Conditions on Deteriorating Reinforced Concrete Bridges in the US Midwest Region
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The deterioration of reinforced concrete bridges due to environmental stressors is proven to adversely affect their strength and durability over time. This primarily originates from the penetration of aggressive ions, ...
Performance Evaluation of Semi-Integral Abutment Bridge Ends Based on Approach Slab Details
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Semi-integral abutments help increase the service life of bridges by eliminating the issues associated with the use of expansion joints. However, the behavior of such abutments under service loads has complexities, especially ...
Effects of Supplementary Cementitious Materials on the Hydration of Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the variety of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) available, there have been fundamental questions regarding how they influence the hydration development of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC), especially ...
Investigation of Five Synthetic Fibers as Potential Replacements of Steel Fibers in Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) has been considered for a variety of structural engineering applications, owing to its superior strength and durability. Among the main properties of UHPC, flexural performance ...
Seismic Resilience of Transportation Networks with Deteriorating Components
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Performance assessment of a transportation network is naturally a complicated problem. This is mainly due to the fact that such a spatially distributed network is subjected to a variety of natural hazards and environmental ...
Assessment of Postearthquake Losses in a Network of Aging Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current study approaches the issue of deteriorating civil infrastructure components in a systematic manner through microscale, mesoscale, and macroscale investigations. At the microscale, the integrity of individual ...
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 ...
Estimation of Corrosion Initiation Time in Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns: How to Incorporate Spatial and Temporal Uncertainties
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Deterioration of reinforced concrete structures has been a subject of interest for the researchers, practicing engineers, and decision makers who work on the reliability assessment and safety evaluation of civil infrastructure ...
Uncertainty Analysis of Flood Control Measures Including Epistemic and Aleatory Uncertainties: Probability Theory and Evidence Theory
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Encountering uncertainty in engineering design problems is inevitable. Probability theory is a traditional method for uncertainty analysis despite the nature of uncertainties (i.e., aleatory or epistemic). Because of ...
