RISSeismic Bearing Capacity of Rough Strip Footing Placed Over Geogrid-Reinforced Two-Layer Sands
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The lower bound limit theorem in conjunction with finite elements is used to quantitatively estimate the pseudostatic bearing capacity of a rough strip footing placed on geogrid-reinforced sandy soil. The objective of this ...
Flow Interaction at Multistage Floodplains of Open Channel during High Flow: A Study of Mixing Length and Flow Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractUnderstanding compound open channels with separate shallow floodplains and different
bankfull heights around the deep main channel is of paramount importance. A practical
design of channels and rivers in urban ...
Safety Assessment of Gravity Load–Designed Reinforced Concrete–Framed Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A large number of gravity load–designed (GLD) reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are found in many seismic-prone countries including India. Many of them were built before the advent of seismic codes or with the utilization ...
Strain-Rate Dependence of the Mechanical Properties of Cellular Lightweight Concrete: Experimental Study and Analytical Modeling with Multigene Genetic Programming
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This work experimentally evaluated compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of cellular lightweight concrete (CLC) under varying strain-rate conditions. A novel artificial technique called multigene genetic ...
Quantification of Variability in Pond Ash Concrete and Its Effect on the Seismic Safety Performance of Reinforced Concrete Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, an attempt was made to use pond ash (PA), which is an industrial waste generated in power plants, as a replacement for fine aggregates (FA) in concrete. An experimental program was conducted on the mechanical ...
Variability of Silica Fume Concrete and Its Effect on Seismic Safety of Reinforced Concrete Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Design of structures made using silica fume (SF) concrete to an acceptable level of safety requires the probabilistic evaluation of its mechanical properties. An extensive experimental program was carried out on compressive ...
Influence of Ground-Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag on the Structural Performance of Self-Compacting Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In the last decades, the utilization of industrial waste like ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) has proven itself a great asset in the modern construction industry. Aiming at promoting the green housing initiatives, ...
Seismic Safety Assessment of Buildings with Fly-Ash Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Sustainable concrete construction has encouraged the utilization of industrial wastes [fly ash (FA), silica fume, ground granulated blast furnace slag, metakaolin, and so forth] as a composite cementitious material due to ...
Implications of Importance Factor on Seismic Design from 2000 SAC-FEMA Perspective
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The seismic design of buildings uses global ductility factor and occupancy importance factor (IF) as two major fixed parameters in defining the safety of the structure. The study of performance variation of the structure ...
Variability of Mechanical Properties of Cellular Lightweight Concrete Infill and Its Effect on Seismic Safety
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Cellular lightweight concrete (CLC) block masonry has gained popularity in the masonry market with the growing demand in the modern construction industry due to its various advantages, including a positive impact on the ...
