Response of Subsystems on Inelastic Structures
Preliminary analyses are performed to obtain insight into the seismic response of subsystems supported on simple structures that yield during severe earthquake ground motions. Current...
Stress Distribution Around the Equipment Hatch Opening of a Prestressed Concrete Containment for a PWR Power Station
Results are reported of a finite element stress analysis for the linear elastic deformation around the equipment hatch opening in prestressed concrete containment. The dimensions and form...
Limit State Analysis of Lattice Steel Transmission Towers
The background and present status for limit state analysis of lattice steel towers at the Bonneville Power Administration is presented. Conceptual development, a computer program, and...
Engineering Mechanics in Civil Engineering
The principles of engineering mechanics and the application of these principles to civil engineering problems cover a broad spectrum of topics ranging from theory to practice. These proceedings...
Prediction of Settlement of Single Piles in Clay
Analyses by trial were used to fit theoretical load-settlement curves to measured curves for driven piles. For the elastic method, analyses of load tests indicated that designers should...
The Structural Fuse: An Inelastic Approach to Earthquake-Resistant Design of Buildings
An alternative to the empirical approach to earthquake-resistant design of buildings is proposed and illustrated with a design example. Instead of strengthening every member to resist...
Structural Design of Tall Concrete and Masonry Buildings
This is the first of the ASCE five-volume series on Tall Buildings. Though the tallest skysrapers are of steel, the majority are of concrete?? nearly 65 percent. The selection, analysis...
Fly Ash Pavements, Run Ways to Take Off�
Significant cost savings were realized in paving a new container terminal storage yard in Portland, Oregon. A computer analysis showed that a multi-layer pavement would be best, with each...
