Induced Corrosion Techniques for Two-Way Slabs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Accelerated corrosion techniques are used to assess the structural performance of corroded reinforced concrete elements. This paper aims to illustrate the use of various techniques by showing their advantages and disadvantages. ... -
Seismic Fragility Analysis of Base-Isolated Building Frames Excited by Near- and Far-Field Earthquakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The present study aims at the probabilistic seismic risk assessment of a base-isolated building frame under near- and far-field earthquakes by conducting a fragility analysis. For this purpose, a base-isolated 10-story ... -
Vulnerability of Three-Dimensional Semirigid Composite Frame Subjected to Progressive Collapse
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Limited studies have investigated the progressive collapse of three-dimensional (3D) semirigid steel–concrete frames due to the complexity of modeling techniques, intensive computational time involved in the analysis, and ... -
Remedial Measures for Existing Anchored Slopes in Taiwan
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper presents the results obtained from an island-wide investigation program for anchored slopes alongside freeways, highways, and railways in Taiwan. The investigation procedures include the visual inspection of ... -
Face Stability Assessment for Underwater Tunneling Across a Fault Zone
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Face stability is critical for the safety of underwater tunnel construction across fault zones. This paper presents a new analytical method that can be used to assess such stability. Following Horn’s model and the double ... -
Technical–Social Tandem in Restoration of Buildings under Emergency Conditions: 40 Homes in Spain
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The need for the restoration of buildings that have been suddenly damaged either by natural or human factors affects the tenants of the buildings and can generate posttraumatic stress. Few studies have been conducted on ... -
Factors Influencing Facilities Management Cost Performance in Building Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Buildings are complex systems, and therefore truly understanding their performance is difficult. The cost of maintenance is a real problem and a major issue in building projects, and it constitutes a significant part of ... -
Systematic Experimental Approach to Determine Banging Noise Source and Location of a Steel Box Girder Using Vibroacoustic Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Unexpected banging noises occurring on the Beomseo Bridge in Ulsan, South Korea have been reported during and after the steel box-girder erection. The banging noise, which at maximum reached 120 dB, raised concerns ... -
Strengthening of Laterally Restrained Steel Beams Subjected to Flexural Loading Using Low-Modulus CFRP
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Upgrading the flexural design strength of the structural member for increased live load without disrupting the functionality of the structure is an arduous task. One such problem was investigated in this study by using ... -
Structural Response of Masonry Infilled Timber Frames to Flood and Wind Driven Rain Exposure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In the current changing climate historic timber frame buildings are exposed to ever more severe and frequent extreme weather conditions such as floods and wind driven rainstorms. These structures are especially vulnerable ... -
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Bottom Outlet Leakage in Earth-Fill Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Leakage dissolution and the induced internal erosion failures in earth-fill dams and foundations significantly threaten the long-term operational safety of geotechnical structures. This phenomenon can be more dangerous in ... -
