RISPerformance of Advanced Materials during Earthquake Loading Tests of a Bridge System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Three unconventional details for the plastic hinge regions of bridge columns subjected to seismic loads were developed, designed, and implemented in a large-scale, four-span RC bridge. Superelastic shape memory alloys ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) are composite materials that have found acceptance in current construction systems due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and ease ...
Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls Detailed with Innovative Materials: Seismic Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the experimental results of a pilot study performed on the seismic performance of three types of damage-resistant, slender reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls. The study explores three innovative schemes ...
Shake-Table Studies of a Four-Span Bridge Model with Advanced Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As part of a major study on the seismic response of bridge systems with conventional and advanced details, a large-scale model of a 4-span bridge incorporating several innovative plastic hinges was recently tested on shake ...
Enhanced Prediction and Uncertainty Analysis for In-Plane and Out-of-Plane Resistance of Unreinforced Masonry Walls: A Multifidelity Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are commonly found in historic and legacy buildings around the world. The structural resistance of URM walls under in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OOP) loads is of primary concern to ...
Seismic Behavior of RC Shear Walls with Externally Bonded FRP Sheets: Analytical Studies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An analysis model for the nonlinear response behavior of RC shear walls repaired and strengthened in flexure with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets using the FEM is presented. A novel component of the ...
Experimental Investigation on the Residual Shear Behavior of 28-Year-Old Decommissioned Prestressed Concrete Voided Slab Girders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract A prestressed concrete voided slab girder bridge was decommissioned after 28 years
in service near Barrhead, Alberta, Canada, due to severe deterioration. Four interior
girders with different deterioration levels ...
Experimental Investigation on the Residual Flexural Behavior of 28-Year-Old Decommissioned Prestressed Concrete Voided Slab Girders
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The residual flexural behavior of semilightweight prestressed concrete voided slab girders taken from a decommissioned 28-year-old bridge near Barrhead, Alberta, Canada was investigated. The residual flexural behaviors ...
Full-Scale Experimental Study of a Segmental Posttensioned Masonry Wall System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractOff-site construction (OSC) enhances construction quality control and speed by relocating
building processes to controlled environments. OSC techniques significantly improve
project efficiency and consistency. This ...
Seismic Behavior of RC Shear Walls Strengthened for In-Plane Bending Using Externally Bonded FRP Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the experimental results of a study investigating the effectiveness of using externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tow sheets for in-plane bending strengthening and repair of reinforced ...
