Repair of an Improperly Detailed Masonry Facade: A Case History
The masonry facade of an 18-story condominium building was constructed with an inconsistent pattern of shelf angle supports, marginal lateral restraints and without any horizontal control...
Durability of Fly Ash Concrete in the Marine Environment
This paper presents the experimental investigation of durability of air-entrained fly ash concrete in the marine environment. The findings indicate that the deterioration rate of durability...
Effect of Fly Ash on the Microstructure and Durability of Concrete
The influence of fly ash on the microstructure and durability of concrete was investigated. It was found that the use of 50% fly ash in concrete reduced greatly its resistance to freezing-and-thawing...
Permeability Effects on the Sulfate Resistance of Concrete
A laboratory study was conducted to determine the effect of permeability on the sulfate resistance of concrete containing fly ash. Concrete specimens were moist cured for 7 and 100 days...
Time-Dependent Behavior of FRP Lintels
This paper describes an experimental investigation into the short-term and long-term behaviors of two types of T-shaped lintels made of fiber-glass reinforced plastic with polyester or...
Early-Time Strength and Elastic Modulus of Concrete With High Proportions of Fly Ash
Compressive strength and elastic modulus data are presented for four concrete mixtures with ratios (by volume) of Class C fly ash to total cementitious materials (portland cement plus...
Parameter Study of Stresses in Mass Concrete Using Two Fly Ash Mixtures
Finite-element modeling of the incremental construction procedure for mass concrete structures has been used to study the effects of three mechanical properties on thermal stresses. Material...
Laboratory Fatigue Investigation of a GRP Bridge
A fatigue study of a 4.9 m glass-reinforced plastic bridge indicated a resistance to 1.6 million cycles of load without extensive damage to joints or elements. Viscoelastic creep occurred...
Size Effect in Concrete Structures and Influence of Loading Rate
The size effect law models the influence of the dimensions of the structure or specimen on the failure stress. This model can be used to quantify the brittleness of failure, and determine...
Flexural Strength of Externally Reinforced Concrete Beams
Results from tests of one rectangular and one T-beam are reported. The beams were strengthened by epoxy-bonding a 1/4 in. (6 mm) thick Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic plate along the tension...
Uni- and Bi-Axial Compressive Fatigue of Fiber Concrete
Fatigue behavior of fiber reinforced concrete is studied under uniaxial and biaxial loadings. The S-N curves and the cyclic deformations of fiber concrete are compared to those of plain...
Inelastic Stability of Thin Walled Metal Tubes Under Cyclic Loading Conditions
This paper is concerned with an experimental investigation on the inelastic stability behavior of thin-walled tubular specimens of steel, aluminum and stainless steel, under cyclic loading...
Behavior and Strength of Telescopic Steel Shores
To study the load distribution between concrete floors and shores during construction, the non-linear axial load-shortening behavior of a single post shore must be modeled properly. In...
Bibliography of Steel Columns
This book, which was prepared by the Committee on Compression Members of the Structural Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers, attempts to provide a complete bibliography...
Commentary on Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (ACI 530-88/ ASCE 5-88) and Commentary on Specifications for Masonry Structures (ACI 530.1-88/ ASCE 6-88)
Seattle Swing
The swing bridge has long been out of favor in the U.S. because of the navigational hazard presented by mid-channel pivot piers. A consortium of engineers is updating the design to a state-of-the-art...
Structures Congress Abstracts 1990
Abstract only. The following themes are included: Rehabilitation and future challenges, Bridges, Earthquake engineering, Dynamic loads on structures, Metals and composite construction,...
New Piers for an Old Bridge
Placing new piers under an old superstructure has saved the architecture of the historic Ashley River Bridge in Charleston, S.C. In July 1987, an inspection indicated deterioration and...
Dallas Urban Goods Movement Changes-The Decade After
In the 1970's, the City of Dallas undertook an urban goods movement (UGM) planning project that resulted by the end of the decade in far reaching changes in the process, particularly...
Economic Impact of Alternative Downtown UGM Strategies
In downtown Dallas, four strategies have been tested: consolidated public truck terminals; provision of off-street loading space in individual buildings, under ordinance; curb space management...
