RISResilient Bridge Rocking Columns with Polyurethane Damage-Resistant End Segments and Replaceable Energy-Dissipating Links
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper introduces a novel low-damage bridge column design for accelerated bridge construction (ABC) in seismic areas. The proposed design integrates (1) polyurethane (PU) damage-resistant segments at the column ends ...
Experimental Performance Assessment of Nearly Full-Scale Reinforced Concrete Columns with Partially Debonded Longitudinal Reinforcement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study investigating the effect of partial debonding of longitudinal reinforcement at the location of the plastic hinge on the performance of reinforced concrete columns in special ...
Shear-Enhanced Gradient Inelastic Force-Based Frame Element Formulation for Analysis of Shear-Critical Reinforced Concrete Members
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A large number of structures in the United States and worldwide include nonductile reinforced concrete (RC) frames with columns and beams that are prone to shear failure. Due to the brittle nature of shear failures, accurate ...
