Effects of Seismic and Progressive Collapse Designs on the Vulnerability of RC Frame Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Buildings are exposed to multiple natural hazards over their service lives. Multihazard analysis and design of building structures has become a research hotspot worldwide. For these structures, earthquake and progressive ... -
IFC BIM-Based Facility Management Approach to Optimize Data Collection for Corrective Maintenance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Facility managers are required to collect high-quality data to achieve corrective maintenance actions. Current facility management (FM) information systems are complex and provide high-quality data. However, they lack ... -
Global Instability Induced Failure of Tall Steel Moment Frame Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper examines the behavior of steel moment frames under the scenario of a column removal at their ground floor. Through a material and geometric nonlinear analysis, this work evaluates a global loss-of-stability ... -
Evaluation of Long-Term Performance of Stone Matrix Asphalt in Washington State
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) has been used for decades to extend the life of asphalt pavements, especially in terms of rutting resistance. However, its performance and cost-effectiveness have been debated. This study evaluates ... -
Performance Assessment of Two Aseismically Designed RC School Buildings after the October 23, 2011, Van, Turkey Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)In many design codes, school buildings are classified as important structures. Hence, they are designed to withstand earthquakes with or without minor structural damage. This study examines the seismic performance of two ... -
Countermeasure of Air Venting Holes in the Bridge Deck–Wave Interaction under Solitary Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper discusses three fundamental questions on the bridge deck-wave interaction: (1) are there countermeasures to mitigate the wave forces on the bridge decks? (2) what is the working mechanism of the ... -
Excavation-Induced Settlement and Tilt of a 3-Story Building
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)A 3-story building was found tilted badly as a result of a nearby deep excavation. Numerous cracks were developed on the façade walls and load-bearing brick walls. Dislodgement of some timber joists was observed at some ... -
Assessing Modeling Complexities on the Seismic Performance of an Instrumented Short-Period Hospital
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Low-rise, short-period buildings dominate the construction in the United States including residential, recreational, and critical, including hospital, facilities. Previous analytical studies have indicated that these ... -
Transverse Dynamic Mechanical Behavior of Hangers in the Rigid Tied-Arch Bridge under Train Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The rigid hanger is one of the main load-bearing components in a rigid tied-arch bridge that is common used in high-speed railway lines, and the mechanism for influences of train loads on the hangers’ transverse vibration ... -
Prediction of Cover Thickness Based on Long-Term Chloride Penetration in a Marine Environment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Chloride-induced corrosion is one of the main causes of deterioration of reinforced concrete structures in marine environments. In the last decades many investigations have been concluded to determine the parameters affecting ... -
Long-Term Performance of Wicking Fabric in Alaskan Pavements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Beaver Slide is near 177.8 km (110.5 mi) on the Dalton Highway and the road gradient is approximately 11%, built on a hill side. Each year, soft spots, also commonly named as frost boils, were observed starting ... -
Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures Subjected to Column Loss
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)In this study, the variability inherent in the performance of RC frame structures to bridge over a column loss was investigated, considering the uncertainties existing in gravity loads, material properties, and construction ... -
Nonexplosive Deconstruction of Steel Girder Highway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)While the transportation system of the United States rapidly ages and expands, there is increasing demand for the demolition, replacement, modification, or rehabilitation of existing bridges; all of these actions require ... -
Rapid Identification and Taxonomical Classification of Structural Seismic Attributes in a Regionwide Commercial Building Stock
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)As territorial authorities, government agencies, and other large-asset owners were responding to regulatory and market forces in the wake of the 2010–2011 Canterbury, New Zealand, earthquakes by assessing and planning ... -
Optimal Maintenance and Rehabilitation Policies for Performance-Based Road Maintenance Contracts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Performance-based road maintenance contracts (PBRMCs) are an effective mechanism to transfer risk and responsibility of road maintenance activities to the private sector. Proper structuring of performance indicators and ... -
Performance of Residual Soil as Cover System for a Sanitary Landfill in Singapore
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)A large amount of construction waste creates problems related to cost and space for disposal, especially for countries with limited land like Singapore. Therefore, it is important to choose a suitable landfill management ... -
