Deflection of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Longitudinal Circular Hole
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The main aim of this investigation was to study the behavior of simply supported rectangular RC beams with longitudinal circular hole subjected to gradually increased and symmetrically applied two-point loads. Each hollow ... -
Allowable Distance from Impact Pile Driving to Prevent Structural Damage Considering Limits in Different Standards
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Pile driving has usually been the most prevalent method of pile installation, although the ground vibrations generated by pile driving operations have a high damage potential for structures in the vicinity and are a major ... -
Operational Post Deformation of Cantilever Sign Support Structures from Truck-Induced Wind Gusts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The application of operational modal analysis using frequency domain decomposition revealed the operational behavior of a cantilever sign support structure in response to truck-induced wind gusts. The study identified the ... -
Elastic and Inelastic Behavior of Precast Concrete Piles and Cast-in-Shell Steel Piles in Reinforced Concrete Caps
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Understanding the level of fixity and ductility provided by pile to pile-cap connections is essential for the design of piles subjected to lateral loading. In this study, a series of elastic and inelastic finite-element ... -
Structural Behavior of Slender High-Strength RC Columns Strengthened by Steel Angles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This article presents an experimental and analytical study related to the structural behavior of slender RC columns with normal-strength concrete (NSC) and high-strength concrete (HSC) strengthened by steel angles and ... -
Strength Evaluation of Concrete Columns with Cross-Sectional Holes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Today, concealing a longitudinal circular rainwater pipe in the center of a column cross section is common practice in the construction of skeleton RC frames. This research studies the strength reduction caused in short ... -
Ultimate Load Capacity Analysis of Steel Scaffoldings Using Direct-Analysis Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)For ensuring the safe load capacity of steel scaffoldings, the ultimate load capacity analysis is performed including an experimental test and numerical modeling. The test is relatively costly; therefore, it is used ... -
Major Construction Delay Factors in Portugal, the UK, and the US
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Construction delays are a common problem in all the developed and developing countries costing the industry billions of dollars every year. Understanding the major delay factors for construction projects is the first step ... -
3D Finite-Element Analysis of Steel Moment Frames Including Long-Span Entrance by Strengthening Steel Cables and Diagonal Concentrically Braced Frames under Progressive Collapse
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Progressive collapse in structures is considered a rare event. Yet, if it occurs, it may lead to disastrous human and financial loss. A significant item to study in examining progressive collapse relates to structures with ... -
Conceptual Review of the Use of High-Strength Grouted Post-Tensioned Anchor Bars to Retrofit or Replace Tainter Gate Anchorage Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper reviews the suitability and use of post-tensioned grouted anchors to replace and/or retrofit existing Tainter gate anchorage systems. A thorough historical and theoretical review on both unbonded and bonded ... -
Partial-Span Live Loading Effects on the Design of Multistory Multibay Steel Moment Frames
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A critical live load pattern is the live load pattern that will produce the maximum axial force and/or bending moment in a structural member under consideration. Structural engineers commonly select the critical live load ... -
Practical Model for Load-Carrying Capacity of Eccentrically Loaded Square Column Footings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this paper, a practical calculus model based on the strut-and-tie approach for prediction of the load-carrying capacity of eccentrically loaded RC column footings with square cross sections is presented. Existing models ... -
Determination of Slenderness Ratio for Laced and Battened Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This article focuses on elastic stability analysis of battened columns and laced columns with crosswise, fir-shaped, and serpentine lattices. The columns are considered as static indeterminate systems. The buckling problem ... -
Modified Elastic Parameters for the Dynamic Axial Impedance of Driven Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Experimental investigations reported in the literature have shown that pile foundations exhibit nonlinear behavior when subject to dynamic axial service loads. The nonlinear characteristics are attributed to soil remolding, ... -
Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete in Design Codes and Empirical Models: Analytical Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The modulus of elasticity (MOE) is a key parameter in RC design. It represents the stress–strain relationship in the elastic range and is used in the prediction of deflection. Out-of-range estimations for the MOE in the ... -
Seismic Performance of Steel-Braced Frames with an All-Steel Buckling Restrained Brace
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In terms of weight and curing of mortar in the brace core, an all-steel buckling-restrained brace is considered an improved type of common buckling-restrained brace. In this study, a new type of all-steel buckling-restrained ... -
Statistical Variations of Rebar Placement and Its Effect on Service Life
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Significant attention is given to the transport properties of the concrete covering the reinforcing bars (covercrete) while neglecting the statistical characteristic of its thickness resulting from variations in rebar ... -
Integrated Bridge Load Rating Allowing Rational Assessment of Foundation Reuse
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Reuse of existing bridge foundations has been gaining momentum and acceptance among practitioners in the last few years. Proper characterization of the bridge foundation (embedment, load-carrying capacity, etc.) is necessary ... -
Simplified Analysis and Design of Cold-Formed Lipped Channels Subject to Combined Shear and Compression Loadings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The objective of this article is to present new analytical expressions for lipped channels subject to combined shear and compressive loadings by accounting for rotational and lateral restraints. Very limited design guidelines ... -
