Rectification of Tilted Transmission Tower Using Micropile Underpinning Method
(ASCE, 2020)The purpose of this paper was to report a rectification method that was used for plumbing a tilted transmission tower supported by a shallow foundation over a soft clay layer. The restoration method involves the installation ... -
Capabilities of an Assessment System for Construction Worker Physiology
(ASCE, 2020)Limited data exists on how construction activities physically impact construction workers. This research explores the use of physiological status monitors (PSMs) to assess the impact of construction activities, individual ... -
Vibration Response and Cumulative Fatigue Damage Analysis of Overlapped Subway Shield Tunnels
(ASCE, 2020)Overlapped subway shield tunnels are subjected to the dynamic impacts caused by running trains and are damaged during their long-term service life. In this paper, the dynamic response and cumulative damage evolution of the ... -
Comparative Study of Data Mining Models for Prediction of Bridge Future Conditions
(ASCE, 2020)Highway and bridge agencies use several systematic inspection approaches to ensure an acceptable standard for their assets in terms of safety, convenience, and economic value. The Bridge Condition Index (BCI), used by the ... -
Damage Mitigation of a Steel Column Subjected to Automobile Collision Using a Honeycomb Panel
(ASCE, 2020)This study investigates the performance and design of an aluminum honeycomb panel attached to the face of a steel column for reducing local damage caused by vehicle collision. The dynamic plateau stress of the honeycomb ... -
Multicriteria and Multilevel Framework for Seismic Risk Management of Existing Buildings in Canada
(ASCE, 2020)A multicriteria and multilevel seismic risk management framework is presented to ensure an acceptable and consistent level of risk for existing buildings in Canada with a focus on minimizing threats to life safety. The ... -
Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Strengthening of New Market Building Damaged after January 4, 2016, Imphal, India, Earthquake
(ASCE, 2020)Important buildings located in high seismic zones of many developing countries are sometimes designed without paying much attention to the earthquake risk in the area. Such buildings are prone to severe damage during ... -
Integrated Approach for Structural Stability Evaluation Using Real-Time Monitoring and Statistical Analysis: Underwater Shield Tunnel Case Study
(ASCE, 2020)Real-time monitoring of underwater construction is important for structural stability. To prevent tunnel disasters, an integrated analysis framework for tunnel stability evaluation was proposed using real-time monitoring ... -
Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Seismic Performance of One-Way Straight Mortise–Tenon Joints Based on a Novel Method to Simulate Damage of Deteriorated Ancient Chinese Timber Buildings
(ASCE, 2020)Being exposed to weather directly or indirectly for more than 100 years, ancient timber buildings have experienced different levels of mechanical degradation. Especially the mortise-tenon joints, which play a crucial ... -
Wear Evaluation on Slide Bearings in Expansion Joints Based on Cumulative Displacement for Long-Span Suspension Bridge under Monitored Traffic Flow
(ASCE, 2020)Expansion joints of bridge superstructures generally suffer deterioration more severely than their main structures, and their actual service life is generally shorter than their design service life. This paper aims at ... -
Case Study of Premature Failure of a Concrete Block Pavement System at a Shipping Container Logistics Site
(ASCE, 2020)The trackway of a high-load gantry crane system at a shipping container logistics site in northern Israel underwent serious premature damages, which jeopardized the continued use of the system. The trackway pavement system ... -
Parameter Preferences for Length Detection of Reinforcement Cage in Bored Pile
(ASCE, 2020)Reinforcement cage length has a significant impact on the bearing capacity of bored piles. Accurate measurement of the cage length provides an important guideline for judging pile quality. Currently, the electric method ... -
Failure Mechanism of Primary Support for a Shallow and Asymmetrically Loaded Tunnel Portal and Treatment Measures
(ASCE, 2020)Shallow and asymmetrically loaded tunnels are very common in mountain tunnel portals, and localized excessive deformation, cracking, or even collapse often occur during the construction process. In this study, a shallow ... -
Evaluation and Remedial Measures on Premature Failure of Roads in India
(ASCE, 2020)The current study aims at evaluating the causes of premature failure of roads in India by field investigation along with suggesting remedial measures to mitigate the earlier deterioration with a cost-effective analytical ... -
Seismic Fragility Assessment and Resilience of Reinforced Masonry Flanged Wall Systems
(ASCE, 2020)Several experimental and analytical studies have evaluated the seismic response of reinforced masonry (RM) shear walls either as a component (i.e., planar rectangular walls) or as a system (i.e., building consisting ... -
Numerical Study on Parametric Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Column under Blast Loading
(ASCE, 2020)Columns are the main load-bearing structure elements in frame structures and outermost columns are the critical structural elements for potential extremist attacks. The explicit nonlinear finite-element method (FEM)–based ... -
Determination of Deformation Mechanism and Countermeasures in Silty Clay Tunnel
