Abstract: This paper numerically investigates the three-dimensional seismic response of six reinforced concrete bridges hypothetically located in Oakland, California, 3 km from the Hayward fault. Three of the bridges are 17 m tall ...

Abstract: In this paper a recently developed multimode pushover procedure is evaluated for nonregular in elevation systems. The procedure is applicable to asymmetric in plan buildings under the concurrent action of two horizontal ...

Abstract: Close coupling of automotive three-way catalytic converters is becoming a common practice in order to reduce pollutant emissions during cold start. In such applications, the exhaust gas mass ...

Abstract: This paper delivers a detailed statistical assessment of pavement rehabilitation treatments by delivery methods via studying their performance in terms of pavement indicators (international roughness index, rutting depth, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of shake table tests of two 460-mm-diameter columns supported on 1.5-meter-square shallow rocking foundations. The tests were conducted using the Large Outdoor High-Performance ...

Abstract: Pulse wave imaging (PWI) is an ultrasound-based method that allows spatiotemporal mapping of the arterial pulse wave propagation, from which the local pulse wave velocity (PWV) can be derived. Recent reports indicate that ...
