Abstract: This study presents an evaluation of shear and moment live-load distribution factors for a new, prestressed concrete, spread box-girder bridge. The shear and moment distribution factors were measured under a live-load test ...

Abstract: A probabilistic version of the Idriss and Boulanger standard penetration test (SPT)–based liquefaction triggering correlation is derived using a maximum likelihood approach and an updated case history database. Measurement and estimation...

Abstract: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a promising tool for the analysis and optimization of wind turbine positioning inside wind parks (also known as wind farms) in order to maximize power ...

Abstract: Procedures are presented for evaluating the potential for cyclic softening (i.e., onset of significant strains or strength loss) in saturated silts and clays during earthquakes. The recommended procedures are applicable ...

Abstract: A probabilistic cone penetration test (CPT) based liquefaction triggering procedure for cohesionless soils is derived using a maximum likelihood method with an updated case history database. The liquefaction analysis ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of silica-fume concrete in resisting damage caused by corrosion of embedded steel has been investigated using an accelerated impressed voltage-testing setup. The silica-fume concrete included 0, 10, 15, ...

Abstract: New liquefaction susceptibility criteria for saturated silts and clays are presented that are based on the mechanics of their stress-strain behavior and which provide improved guidance for selecting engineering procedures ...
