Performance of Fiber-Reinforced Rubcrete Curbs Subjected to Impact Loads
(ASCE, 2022/05/13)A curb is a barrier or a raised boundary provided to demarcate between the roadway and footpath or median. Curbs have a high probability of being subjected to impact loads due to collision from vehicles. The frequency of ... -
Synthesis of Bridge Approach Slab Behavior, Design, and Construction Practice
(ASCE, 2022/05/18)Elimination of expansion joints between the bridge deck and approach slabs in an integral abutment bridge (IAB) decreases the potential for water and salt damage to a bridge’s superstructure and bearings. However, the lack ... -
Performance-Based Code Calibration and Total Probability of Failure of the Nuclear Containment Structure Subjected to Missile Impact
(ASCE, 2022/04/23)The multifarious calamities upon nuclear containment structures (NCS) and insufficient reliability-based factors inspired the current study for the investigation of hard missile impact. Available codes for design and ... -
Robustness Requirements for the Design of Plane Frames
(ASCE, 2022/06/03)As part of a safe design, which guarantees the stability of the structures against exceptional events and mistakes in the design or construction phase of the manufacture, it is necessary to study the robustness of structures. ... -
Numerical Investigation of the Shear Transfer Stress of Uncracked Concrete That Has Been Externally Strengthened with FRP Laminates
(ASCE, 2022/06/03)This study numerically investigated the effect of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates on the shear transfer capacity of strengthened push-off concrete specimens. The numerical model compared the shear transfer values ... -
Comparison of Provisions for Nonslender Reinforced Concrete Columns: American Concrete Institution, Eurocode, Indian Standard, and Canadian Standards Association
(ASCE, 2022/07/01)The basis for the design of any concrete structural element is the concrete building code. Since the requirements for different used codes are dissimilar, a detailed comparative analysis needs to be conducted to compare ... -
Optimization of TMD Parameters in Frequency Domain Including SSI Effect by Means of Recent Metaheuristic Algorithms
(ASCE, 2022-04-08)This study presents the application of three recent metaheuristic optimization algorithms to design the tuned mass damper (TMD) for a high-rise building structure, taking into account the effect of soil–structure interaction ... -
Evaluation of the Potential of Cladding to Mitigate Blast Effects on the Supporting Structure
(ASCE, 2022-03-30)Cladding components are critical when designing a building to resist blast loads, as they are the first to receive the applied airblast pressure. A recent trend is to design them in order to reduce the blast pressure ... -
Simplified Design of Coupled Shear Wall Systems for Typical Building Configuration
(ASCE, 2022-03-31)For many years, coupled shear wall systems have been used as an effective way of controlling lateral stability for high rise buildings. Shear walls have a large lateral stiffness compared to frame systems, and hence, they ... -
Blast-Loading Effects on Structural Redundancy of Long-Span Suspension Bridge Using a Simplified Approach
(ASCE, 2022-03-30)Long-span suspension bridges are typically designed against wind and earthquake loadings without considering blast loads because existing blast-resistant design guidelines for bridges are limited and in fact not detailed ... -
Analysis of Beam—Column Joint with Wedge Effect
