Abstract: Ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) typically contains short steel fibers with a fiber volume of 2% or larger. This relatively high fiber volume leads to high UHPC tensile strength, typically larger than 8 MPa, and ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the early 19th century ideas on cable‐stayed bridges, the innovations from Germany following World War II, the introduction of such bridges into the United States, and some developments in design ...

Abstract: The Department of Civil Engineering and Operations Research and the School of Architecture at Princeton University offer a unique program that integrates engineering and architectural design by combining the curricula of ...

Abstract: This paper explains how a major engineer, Christian Menn, conceived of his design for the 1998 Sunniberg Bridge in Switzerland. Menn had given a brief outline of his approach in an earlier paper, and this paper works out ...

Abstract: An infill system for frame structures has been developed as a retrofit strategy for critical facilities. The system uses precast panels made with an engineered cementitious composite (ECC) material in lieu of a traditional ...

Abstract: Finite-element analyses have shown that the membrane theory assumption for the behavior of gabled hyperbolic paraboloids is incorrect. The form of the structure was originally conceived using this erroneous assumption of ...

Abstract: The work presented in this paper shows that hyperboloid shells can be inexpensively analyzed under the action of concentrated loads using an axisymmetric program. From the point of view of behavior, the numerical analyses ...
