Abstract: When a simply supported bridge is treated by the usual method of calculation, where its different plane surfaces are considered to act independently of each other, settlement of one of its bearings does not create any ...

Abstract: Dynamic loading due to earthquakes is made up of very complicated combinations of different types of waves including compressive waves, shear waves, etc. If a soil specimen is subjected to a combined longitudinal and ...

Abstract: Piles in integral-abutment bridges (IABs) may experience plastic deformation and low cycle fatigue as a result of cyclic loading induced by daily and seasonal temperature variations. This paper presents guidelines that ...

Abstract: Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have attracted a great deal of attention as a smart material that can be used in various civil engineering applications. In contrast to the use of SMAs in the biomedical, mechanical, and aerospace ...

Abstract: Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling System model is used to estimate the water storage in the lakes of three dams due to rainfall events in three wadis located in the northern area of the United Arab Emirates ...

Abstract: Public works departments need test procedures for assessing the current condition of concrete in public facilities such as parking garages. Nondestructive testing can provide ultrasonic pulse velocities that can be used ...

Abstract: Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have attracted a great deal of attention as a smart material that can be used in various civil engineering applications. In contrast to the use of SMAs in the biomedical, mechanical, and aerospace ...

Abstract: A fixed‐material test pad was constructed to evaluate the long‐term effects of the fixation with lime of blended fly ash and scrubber sludge. The

Abstract: This study explores the use of refined analysis methods to potentially increase load ratings of concrete T-beam bridges by obtaining a decrease in live-load distribution factors. The studied T-beam bridges are vulnerable ...
