RISBearing Capacity and Settlement of Skirted Shallow Foundations on Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The behavior of axially loaded skirted shallow foundations resting on sand was studied using an extensive numerical analysis. Surface, pier, and skirted square foundations resting on sand with different shear strength ...
Analytical Model for FRP-Confined Circular Reinforced Concrete Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One disadvantage of most available stress–strain models for concrete confined with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is that they do not take into consideration the interaction between the internal lateral steel ...
Conceptual Profit Allocation Framework for Construction Joint Ventures: Shapley Value Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Construction joint ventures (CJVs) execute business by pooling diverse technical and financial contributions from collaborating entities. Traditional CJV profit-allocation approaches account only for investment shares, and ...
Upper Limit to Compression Reinforcement Ratio in Flexural Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The upper limit to the tension reinforcement ratio in flexural RC members is based on the requirement that tension failure as well as sufficient rotation capacity are ensured at ultimate limit state. However, the provisions ...
Empirical Investigation of Flexural Reinforced Concrete Elements with High Compression Reinforcement Ratios
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The moment capacity and failure modes of four types of beams with high reinforcement ratios are reported. The tests were planned and conducted in order to examine a quantitative measure that had been proposed to evaluate ...
Sustainable Disaster Recovery: Multiagent-Based Model for Integrating Environmental Vulnerability into Decision-Making Processes of the Associated Stakeholders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The goal of sustainable disaster recovery is to regain the built environment’s functionality while decreasing the vulnerability of the society to future perturbations. This requires a new generation of decision support ...
Sustainable Disaster Recovery Decision-Making Support Tool: Integrating Economic Vulnerability into the Objective Functions of the Associated Stakeholders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Natural disasters affect the built environment’s infrastructure and disturb the economic sector’s sustainability and welfare. This requires a disaster recovery decision support tool that capitalizes on the redevelopment ...
Integrating the Social Vulnerability of Host Communities and the Objective Functions of Associated Stakeholders during Disaster Recovery Processes Using Agent-Based Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Disaster recovery requires the participation of the stakeholders to repair the impacted community. Nevertheless, disaster recovery remains understudied within the context of emergency management. Various models have been ...
Slope Stability Analyses in Stiff Fissured Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Results of torsional ring shear, direct shear, and triaxial compression tests on cohesive soils reveal that the fully softened shear strength is stress-dependent and related to the type of clay mineral and quantity of ...
Turbulent Boundary Layers on Centrifugal Compressor Blades: Prediction of the Effects of Surface Curvature and Rotation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method for calculation of turbulent boundary layers on curved, rotating surfaces is presented, and the applicability of the method to the prediction of attached flow over compressor rotor ...
