RISNumerical Analysis of the Cutting Forces in Timber
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an incremental approach based on the theories of continuum damage and anisotropic plasticity to model the forces that develop during timber cutting. The model used is based on the thermodynamics of ...
Deck Slab Stresses in Integral Abutment Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study deals with the stress distribution in concrete deck slabs on composite steel beams used with integral abutment bridges. The applied loading is composed of one or more side-by-side HS20-44 trucks. The finite-element ...
Coupled Continuum-Discrete Model for Saturated Granular Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A coupled hydromechanical model was used to analyze the mesoscale pore fluid flow and microscale solid phase deformation of saturated granular soils. The fluid motion was idealized using averaged Navier–Stokes equations, ...
Analysis of Site Liquefaction Using Earthquake Records
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The surface and downhole accelerations, and pore‐water pressures recorded during the 1987 earthquakes at a site in the Imperial Wildlife Management Area (Imperial County, Calif.) are used to obtain direct estimates of the ...
Optimized Fresh and Hardened Properties of Strain Hardening Cementitious Composites: Effect of Mineral Admixtures, Cementitious Composition, Size, and Type of Aggregates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The present paper thoroughly investigates the effects of mix design with various water-to-binder (W/B) ratios, types of mineral admixture and types and sizes of local sands on the tensile ductility of engineered cementitious ...
Multiscale Large Eddy States in Weakly Stratified Planetary Boundary Layers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We first discuss observations of two classes of two-dimensional large eddy states in weakly stratified atmospheric boundary layers. One class is characterized by large eddies with a single horizontal scale. The other ...
Blind Bolting W‐Shape Beams to HSS Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Connecting a W‐shape beam to a hollow steel section (HSS) column using conventional bolts is difficult due to a lack of access inside the hollow section column to tighten the nut. Field welding the connection remains the ...
Computer-Aided Assessment of Progressive Collapse of Reinforced Concrete Structures according to GSA Code
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A building is subjected to progressive collapse when a primary vertical structural element fails, resulting in the failure of adjoining structural elements, which cause further structural failure, leading eventually to ...
Green Functions for Cylindrical Elastic Waves in Aluminum: Comparison Between Theory and Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A comparison between experimental and theoretical displacement fields for the tangential force problem (which is a model of the thermoelastic regime for laser generated ultrasound) at an aluminum ...
Evaluation of Structural Integrity of Damaged Masonry Building
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Masonry buildings represent the earlier building tradition in Egypt. The majority of the older building stock is of unreinforced masonry, some of which is worth preserving as part of the cultural heritage. Deterioration ...
