Interaction of Vibrations of Road and Rail Traffic with Buildings and Surrounding Environment
(ASCE, 2020)This paper analyzes measured triaxial vibrations of road and rail traffic on and around a typical residential masonry building in İstanbul and its response to adjacent ground-born vibrations through numerical modeling. ... -
Work Optimization with Association Rule Mining of Accelerated Deterioration in Building Components
(ASCE, 2020)The objective of enterprise building infrastructure management is to provide optimal allocation of maintenance, rehabilitation, and repair (MR&R) resources and to preserve the condition of building components over a ... -
On-Site Acoustic-Emission Monitoring for a Prestressed Concrete BT-54 AASHTO Girder Bridge
(ASCE, 2020)Acoustic emission (AE) data were investigated to better understand damage conditions in a three-span prestressed concrete girder bridge during a load test. The innovation lies in classification of crack extensions (stable ... -
Design Approach for Improving Fire-Resistance Performance of Tunnel Lining Based on SiO2 Aerogel Coating
(ASCE, 2020)Tunnel fires often cause huge damage to the lining structure. In order to avoid cracking and spalling of the lining in the case of large-scale tunnel fires and thus ensure the safety of the tunnel, a new tunnel-fire-resistance ... -
Effectiveness and Implications of Seismic Retrofit Measures for Deck Unseating of Multiframe Bridges with Regular and Irregular Geometry
(ASCE, 2020)Deck unseating at abutments and in-span hinges can be a major cause of collapse, especially for older multiframe bridges that are not in compliance with the latest code provisions for seat lengths. This study investigated ... -
Influence of Repair on Corrosion-Failure Modes of Square-RC Columns Located in Tidal Zone
(ASCE, 2020)Chloride-induced corrosion is the main cause of premature deterioration and failure of RC structures in corrosive environments. Therefore, modeling chloride permeation and investigating different methods for the repair and ... -
Performance Assessment of Steel Posts Supporting Solar Energy Infrastructure Facilities: Novel Approach for Underground Corrosion
(ASCE, 2020)Solar energy is expected to provide between 15% and 30% of US electricity by 2050. Photovoltaic solar plant infrastructure includes the photovoltaic modules, structure, and balance of components. Decisions regarding the ... -
Investigation of Factors Affecting Distresses on Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement using Ground Penetrating Radar
(ASCE, 2020)The utilization of continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) has been widely used throughout the United States during the construction of interstate highways since the 1930s. The essential design criterion of CRCP ... -
Collapse Simulations of Communication Tower Subjected to Wind Loads Using Dynamic Explicit Method
(ASCE, 2020)Given the premise that a communication tower is a vital infrastructure that may collapse when encountering a wind disaster, this paper focused on investigating the collapse mechanism and collapse fragility of a communication ... -
Binary Building Attribute Imputation, Evaluation, and Comparison Approaches for Hurricane Damage Data Sets
(ASCE, 2020)Missing building attributes are problematic for development of data-based fragility models. Relative to other disciplines, the application of imputation techniques is limited in the field of engineering. Current imputation ... -
Experimental and Numerical Study of Wind-Induced Vibration in High-Tech Factories
(ASCE, 2020)In this paper, experiments and finite-element analyses are used to investigate the wind-induced vibration in high-tech factories. The experimental results during the Megi typhoon on September 27, 2016, indicated that ... -
Seismic Damage Investigation and Seismic Performance Study of Lushan Middle School Gymnasium
(ASCE, 2020)The seismic behavior of Lushan Middle School gymnasium, whose grid structure was heavily damaged during the Mw7.0 Lushan earthquake in 2013, is simulated by three finite-element models. In field observations, 72 buckled ... -
Numerical Study on the Collapse of the Morandi Bridge
(ASCE, 2020)An innovative discontinuum-based micromodeling approach, the Applied Element Method, is used in this work to investigate explicitly potential failure mechanisms that might have contributed to the collapse of the Morandi ... -
Effect of Semiactive Control on Wind and Seismic Responses of High-Rise Building Supported on Triple Friction Pendulums
(ASCE, 2020)A triple friction pendulum bearing (TFPB) as an isolator has been considered more competitive than conventional bearings such as rubber bearings or single friction pendulum bearings due to its versatile behaviors under ... -
Rotational Behaviors of Fork-Column Dou-Gong: Experimental Tests and Hysteresis Model
(ASCE, 2020)This paper presents an investigation on the rotational behaviors of fork-column Dou-Gong. Five scaled specimens in different construction forms were manufactured and tested by low reversed cyclic loading under three different ... -
Progressive Collapse Assessment of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames Using Static- and Dynamic-Incremental Analyses
