RISGeneration of Fragility Curves for Typical RC Health Care Facilities: Emphasis on Hospitals in Turkey
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study uses fragility curves to focus on the seismic safety evaluation of RC hospital buildings in Turkey. Three hospital buildings with varying heights of 3–5 stories are selected, and a set of fragility curves are ...
Plastic Instability of Thin Shells Deformed by Rigid Punches and by Hydraulic Pressure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A theory has been developed to provide a solution for axisymmetrical shells in the plastic range for large deformations up to fracture. It includes the effects of strain history, nonlinear ...
Modeling Viscoelastic Behavior of Polyethylene Pipe Stresses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Polyethylene pipes are commonly used for new and existing pipeline systems. The stresses developed in the polyethylene pipes affect the behavior of other pipe materials in the system to which they are connected. The overall ...
Lateral Earth Pressure Coefficients for Anchored Sheet Pile Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Conventional methods used for the design of anchored sheet pile walls are based on the lateral force and moment equilibrium of active and passive earth pressures and anchor force. Although it has been known for decades ...

Design Guidelines for Polyethylene Pipe Interface Shear Resistance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Polyethylene pipes are commonly used in pipeline systems. Current methods used to determine the pipe pullout capacity do not consider the effects of diameter changes and cyclic movements that the pipelines may experience. ...
Pullout Resistance Characteristics of Cast Iron Pipe
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cast iron pipe came into heavy use during the latter half of the 19th century and numerous utility companies formed extensive pipeline networks using cast iron pipes until 1940s. Later cast iron pipe was superseded by ...
Estimation of the Balance-Keeping Control Law Applied by a Human Being Upon a Sudden Sagittal Tilt Perturbation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study aims to estimate the control law employed by the central nervous system (CNS) to keep a person in balance after a sudden disturbance. For this aim, several experiments were carried out, in which the subjects ...
Activation of Blast Furnace Slag with Soda Production Waste
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although the absence of portland cement (PC) in alkali-activated slag (AAS) lowers its carbon footprint, conventional alkaline activators like sodium silicate are expensive and have large environmental impacts. Soda solid ...
Output Feedback Control Surface Positioning With a High-Order Sliding Mode Controller/Estimator: An Experimental Study on a Hydraulic Flight Actuation System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, an output feedback sliding mode position controller/estimator scheme is proposed to control an single input single output (SISO) system subject to bounded nonlinearities and parametric uncertainties. Various ...
