RISInelastic Cyclic Buckling of Aluminum Shear Panels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cyclic load tests on shear panels of low-yield alloy of aluminum (3003-O) were performed to determine the onset and effect of inelastic web buckling on load-deformation behavior. Yielding of shear panels of aluminum can ...
Experimental and Numerical Study on the Behavior of Small-Scaled Masonry Prisms and Beams Strengthened with ECC
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The effect of the ductile engineered cementitious composites (ECC) on the unreinforced masonry (URM) prisms and beams was investigated through the appropriate experiments. The objective of the study was to propose a ...
Quality in Constructed Projects: International Firms and Developing Countries
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Paper investigates the problems associated with quality in projects designed and/or constructed by international firms in developing countries. These problems make the task of achieving and maintaining quality in the ...
Suitability of Half-Scale Burnt Clay Bricks for Shake Table Tests on Masonry Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experimental small-scale modeling of clay brick masonry for behavior up to failure under earthquake-type loads poses many challenges, such as manufacturing of small-scale bricks and creating masonry that not only meets ...
Seismic Fragility of Multispan Simply Supported Bridge with Drop Spans and Steel Bearings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multispan simply supported bridges with drop spans and steel bearings were commonly constructed in northern India during the 1970s, and little knowledge about their seismic behavior is available in the literature. Because ...
Role of Toothing on In-Plane and Out-of-Plane Behavior of Confined Masonry Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Seismic Strengthening of Rocking-Critical Masonry Piers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Systems of discrete wall piers and spandrels created by large openings are particularly weak in resisting in-plane lateral loads. The rocking piers thus stabilized by hold-down vertical forces have excellent strength, ...
Strengthening of Slab Action in Transverse Direction of Damaged Deck of Prestressed Box Girder Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The deck slab of a prestressed concrete (PSC) box girder bridge serves as an integral part of the structural box section, and any damage to the deck may seriously affect the load-resistance mechanism of the bridge. This ...
Effect of Piped Water Cooling on Thermal Stress in Mass Concrete at Early Ages
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The heat evolved during the hydration process may not dissipate properly due to the large size and poor thermal conductivity of mass concrete. Embedded cooling pipes of circulating water are generally used for heat removal ...
Effect of In-Plane Damage on Out-of-Plane Response of FRCM Strengthened Masonry Infilled RC Frames
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The out-of-plane (OP) strength of masonry infills is reduced when damaged under the action of the in-plane (IP) forces. A strengthening approach using a fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) was proposed for improving ...
