Experimental and Computational Assessments of Progressive Collapse Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Planar Frames Subjected to Penultimate Column Removal Scenario
(ASCE, 2020)Existing research studies have primarily examined the progressive collapse of frame structures under an inner column removal scenario. However, progressive collapse risk is much higher when penultimate columns close to the ... -
Progressive Collapse Analysis of Three-Dimensional Steel–Concrete Composite Building due to Extreme Blast Load
(ASCE, 2020)This paper investigated the behavior of three-dimensional (3D) steel-concrete building under external explosion considering the slab and connection rigidity. Most of the work carried out so far in the progressive collapse ... -
Case Study on Slope Stability for Composite Subgrade with River Sand and Efflorescent Mudstone Rock
(ASCE, 2020)To solve problems concerning insufficient subgrade filler in highway construction, the feasibility of river sand and efflorescent mudstone rock (EMR) to fill subgrade with steep slope were evaluated in this study. First, ... -
Effects of the September 2017 Earthquakes on Mexican Dams
(ASCE, 2020)On September 7 and 19, 2017 two earthquakes of magnitudes 8.2 and 7.1, respectively, and their aftershocks occurred in Mexico in regions where more than 750 dams operate, from which around 154 were exposed. Most of the ... -
Thermal-Induced Fatigue of Overhead Truss Structures
(ASCE, 2020)Dynamic messaging signs (DMS) are found in operation over freeways, expressways, and other major intersections and provide information to travelers. If the DMS structure fails, then pedestrians and motorists can be harmed. ... -
Effect of Surface Blast on Multistory Buildings
(ASCE, 2020)A surface explosion imparts both the air pressure and ground acceleration on structures. Very little literature is available on the effect of a surface blast on structures, especially for multistory buildings. In the present ... -
Seismic Behavior of Renovated RC Frame after Column Removal and Retrofitting with Steel X-Bracing and Jacketing
(ASCE, 2020)Structural renovation is an economic choice to expand the space of existing frame buildings. To this end, removing a column and strengthening the adjacent beams and columns are required. The renovation should not only ... -
Blast Risk Assessment of Wood Residential Buildings: West Fertilizer Plant Explosion Case
(ASCE, 2020)To predict the hazard-induced risks of buildings and infrastructures and assess the losses caused by hazards, the fragility curve method is a common quantitative risk assessment procedure for civil structures. It has been ... -
Probabilistic Risk Assessment of Barge Impacts on Hurricane Floodwalls
(ASCE, 2020)Hurricanes produce high winds and heavy precipitation, causing widespread damage to infrastructure in coastal areas. Throughout low-lying coastal cities such as New Orleans, Louisiana, a network of constructed waterway ... -
Performance Assessment of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Structure Considering Bond Deterioration
(ASCE, 2020)This paper presents an assessment of the lateral load capacity and ductility of a 21-year-old reinforced concrete (RC) structure situated in a marine environment and affected by rebar corrosion. Nonlinear pushover analysis ... -
Analysis of a Collapsed Long-Span Reinforced Concrete Roof in South Italy: Design Mistakes and Material Degradation
(ASCE, 2020)In 2004, during ordinary maintenance work, consisting of waterproofing a building located in the south of Italy, the long-span (14.5 m) in situ RC roof partially collapsed. The building, constructed in 1950, was in ... -
Developing Novel Monocular-Vision-Based Standard Operational Procedures for Nondestructive Inspection on Constructed Concrete Cracks
(ASCE, 2020)To mitigate the limitations in traditional concrete crack-measuring methods such as low degree in automation and high cost, this study aims to develop a novel method with standard operational procedures (SOP) for nondestructive ... -
Hybrid Performance-Measurement Model of Elevators
(ASCE, 2020)This research first proposed a conceptual hybrid performance measurement model of elevators (HPMME) that consisted of three latent constructs involving three key performance indicators (KPIs) (condition of equipment, level ... -
Optimizing Service Life Prediction Models of External Paint Finishes
(ASCE, 2020)In the present research effort, the topic of service life prediction is revisited, using external paint finishes on rendered facades as a case study. A statistically robust approach to develop ordinary linear regression ... -
LDA-Based Model for Assessing the Defect Liability System in Residential Buildings’ Maintenance Phase
(ASCE, 2020)This study aimed to assess the defect liability system for repairing various defects during residential buildings’ defect liability period using the loss distribution approach (LDA). It examined 6,087 defect cases from 48 ... -
Experimental Study on Performance of Frame Structure Strengthened with Foamed Aluminum under Debris Flow Impact
(ASCE, 2020)It is well recognized that debris flow is a threatening natural hazard that can apply a large impact force on building structures. To increase structural safety, it is imperative to understand the structural performance ... -
Influence of Further Corrosion on Structural Behavior of Corroded Reinforced-Concrete Beam Strengthened with Steel Plate Using Different Strengthening Schemes
(ASCE, 2020)This paper presents the results of an experimental study investigating the mechanical behavior of corroded beams strengthened by three different strengthening schemes, and the influence of further corrosion on the structural ... -
Load Testing and Rating of Cast-in-Place Concrete Box Culverts
(ASCE, 2020)One of the largest items in the bridge inventory for many states is culverts, and cast-in-place reinforced concrete box culverts constitute a sizeable portion of the overall culvert inventory. In Louisiana, most of these ... -
Damage Detection and Decreased Load-Carrying Capacity Assessment of a Vertical-Lift Steel Truss Bridge
(ASCE, 2020)Over a bridge’s service life, physical damage, such as material deterioration, accidental impact, and overloading, can decrease its load-carrying capacity. To assess the integrity and serviceability of in-service bridges, ... -
Temperature Monitoring and Response of Deck-Extension Side-by-Side Box Girder Bridges
