Abstract: Results are reported from tests of three precast, prestressed concrete girders under fatigue-type cyclic and monotonic loading conducted after deck removal and replacement. Although deck demolition altered the top surface ...

Abstract: The seismic behavior of coupling beams and walls constructed with tensile strain-hardening, high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (HPFRC) was studied through tests of large-scale precast coupling beams and coupled ...

Abstract: The goal of this paper is to define a quantitative measurement system capable of capturing multiple dimensions of a community impacted by disaster. The multiple dimensions of a community are defined here as the seven ...

Abstract: Tornadoes are one of the most frequently occurring natural hazards in the United States, yet historically they have been understudied in the engineering and social science literature. This first presents the findings from ...
