(ASCE, 5/29/2023 )An experimental and numerical investigation on the behavior of a new replaceable steel device (RSD), is presented in this paper. The RSD consists of a steel pipe with two circular steel plates that close the ends of the ... -
Bond Deterioration between Corroded Reinforcing Bars with Variable Diameters and Concrete at Elevated Temperatures
(ASCE, 7/24/2023 )The fire resistance of corroded reinforced concrete has attracted extensive attention, mainly due to the frequent occurrence of fires in old structures. However, using the postfire bond strength to predict structural ... -
Lateral–Torsional and Distortional Buckling of I-Shaped Welded Steel Girders
(ASCE, 6/23/2023 )This paper presents the experimental testing and numerical simulations of four full-scale I-shaped welded steel girders to examine their lateral–torsional buckling (LTB) and lateral–distortional buckling (LDB) behaviors ... -
Numerical Simulation of Bent Corner of FRP Stirrups with Rectangular Cross Sections
(ASCE, 6/24/2023 )Due to the strength reduction at the bent corners of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) stirrups, the high tensile strength of FRP reinforcement cannot be fully utilized in concrete structures. Although numerous experimental ... -
Aerodynamic and Aerostatic Performance of a Long-Span Bridge with Wide Single Box Girder Installed with Vertical and Horizontal Stabilizers
(ASCE, 6/5/2023 1)The continuous increase in traffic volume requires wider single box girders for long-span cable-supported bridges. Flutter and aerostatic instability are challenging issues for these flexible bridges, especially when they ... -
Dynamic Analysis of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines under Thunderstorm Downbursts
(ASCE, 8/18/2023 )Wind turbines are among the fastest-growing technologies for producing sustainable energy. Although numerous studies have been carried out to investigate the dynamic behavior of wind turbines exposed to synoptic winds, the ... -
Proposal to Improve AISI S100 DSM Design Standards for Cold-Formed Steel Built-Up Closed Cross-Section Columns Subjected to Local–Global Interaction Buckling
(ASCE, 8/3/2023 1)This paper presents an improved design approach based on the direct strength method (DSM) in American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) design specification S100 for cold-formed steel (CFS) built-up closed cross-section ... -
Static Load Test on Progressive Collapse Resistance of Precast Prestressed Hollow Core Slabs
(ASCE, 7/3/2023 1)Precast prestressed hollow core slabs (PPHCSs) are widely used in the construction of multistory cross-wall structures, but the floors are vulnerable to progressive collapse induced by unexpected loadings due to weak links ... -
Analytical Investigation on Catenary Action in Unbonded Prestressed Concrete Beam-Column Subassemblages
(ASCE, 5/17/2023 )One reinforced concrete (RC) and four prestressed concrete (PC) beam-column subassemblages with various tendon profiles were designed and tested to investigate the effect of prestressed tendon profiles on the progressive ... -
A Novel Methodology for Inspection and Strength Evaluation of Suspension Bridge Main Cables
(ASCE, 6/6/2023 1)A novel methodology is proposed to evaluate the ultimate strength of the main cables of suspension bridges using information obtained from site inspections and from tensile strength tests on selected wire samples extracted ... -
Cyclic Loading Test and Numerical Modeling on Prefabricated UHPC Tube–Confined Rectangular Bridge Piers with Different Base Connections
(ASCE, 8/3/2023 1)Reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers, one of the most widely used pier types, are vulnerable to damage during an earthquake and may not have sufficient durability against the harsh environment. To tackle these problems, ... -
Effects of Roof Shape and Roof Pitch on Extreme Wind Fragility for Roof Sheathing
(ASCE, 5/12/2023 )Wind fragility curves for roof sheathing were developed for single-family building models to investigate the effects of roof shape and roof pitch on the wind performance of roof sheathing. For gable roofs, it was found ... -
Sliding versus Rubber Bearings: Exploring the Difference in Collapse Probability
(ASCE, 4/28/2023 )While collapse mechanisms have received significant attention for conventional buildings, they are less well understood for isolated buildings. Recently, there has been a more concerted effort to quantify the collapse ... -
Cyclic Lateral Load Test for RC Moment Frames Retrofitted with External Steel Frames
