Stochastic Dynamics of Hysteretic Systems
A frequency domain method is discussed in order to evaluate the second order statistical response of nonlinear hysteretic structures. Both shear type systems and lumped mass frames involving...
Wang's Equation for Ice Forces From a Pressure Ridge
Yung-shih (Tony) Wang has presented an equation for the breaking loads from a multiyear pressure ridge on a conical structure. The three distances that define the position of the plastic...
Development of Go-Ahead Can't Hinge on Highway
Reliability Analysis of Continuous Beam and Frame Structural Systems
In this paper, by adopting the cross sections where plastic hinges form as the analysed units, the problem of structure system reliability of continuous beam and simple frame is discussed....
Random Vibrations of Discrete and Continuous Inelastic Structures
Nonstationary random vibrations of elasto-plastic cantilever beams excited by earthquakes are studied, where a finite spread of inelastic zones is taken into account. Following a complete...
Gate Efficiency Hinges on Flexibility
The Behavior of R/C Pinned Bridge Columns under Lateral Loading
Four one-eighth scale one-way hinge details of the type used in highway bridges were tested to study the effect of combined shear and flexure caused by lateral loads. The aspect ratio...
Reliability of Structural Systems With Multiple Limit States
The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic treatment of the reliability of structural systems with multiple limit states. Several performance criteria (e. g. , excessive deflection,...

Better Trained Construction Supers Would Boost Productivity
Everyone complains about poor productivity in construction. One way to improve it, says a recent Business Roundtable report, is to provide better training of first and second level supervisors....
