RISA Case Study of Magnetorheological Damper Models with Experimental Confirmation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study aims to review and evaluate the performance of nonparametric and parametric models of magnetorheological (MR) dampers, which are commonly used as structural control devices. To do so, a comprehensive experimental ...
An Experimental Investigation into the Behavior of Steel-Timber Composite Beams
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An experimental study on the structural behavior of steel-timber composite beams is presented in this paper. The timber beams were reinforced with flat and channel-shaped cold form steel (CFS) sections through different ...
Closure to “Shear Strength in Preexisting Landslides” by Timothy D. Stark and Manzoor Hussain
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Shear Strength in Preexisting Landslides
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Drained residual shear strength is used for the analysis of slopes containing preexisting shear surfaces. Some recent research suggests that preexisting shear surfaces in prior landslides can gain strength with time. ...
Empirical Correlations: Drained Shear Strength for Slope Stability Analyses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Empirical correlations provide estimates of parameter values for preliminary design, verification of laboratory shear test data, and confirmation of back-analysis of a failed slope. The empirical correlations presented ...
Evaluating Locally Financed Reservoir: The Case of Applewhite
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In an era when subsidized water development is not available to municipalities, development costs are fully borne by the rate‐paying clientele. Proposed water projects therefore impact consumers both through increased rates ...
Out-of-Plane Behavior of Masonry Infills of Different Types and Slenderness Ratios under Reversed Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper presents an experimental study on the out-of-plane (OOP) behavior of masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames. Three different types of masonry infills were investigated: burnt clay bricks, fly ash ...
Effect of Geometrical Discontinuities on Strain Distribution for Orthotropic Laminates Under Biaxial Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The contemporary approach of utilizing uniaxial tests data for prediction of failure in composite materials, that are anisotropic and inhomogeneous under multiaxial loading has witnessed to be inadequate. Consequently, ...
Contractors’ Views of the Potential Causes of Inconsistencies between Design and Construction in Saudi Arabia
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The study identifies the causes of inconsistencies between the design and construction of large building projects. To achieve the study objectives, a questionnaire survey was carried out to collect information on potential ...
Acceleration Response-Based Adaptive Strategy for Vibration Control and Location Optimization of Magnetorheological Dampers in Multistoried Structures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Optimization and deployment of control systems with multiple control devices incorporated into a structure is a daunting task. The optimum location of the control device is intrinsically connected to the design parameters ...
