All Dressed Up
Its location at 660 Madison Avenue will put the new home of clothier Barneys New York in the heart of Manhattan's exclusive midtown shopping district, but the $120 million...

Haunted by the Past
Given the legacy of the construction of the Missouri Valley Water Tunnel in the 1920s�eight deaths and numerous injuries�it's no wonder that safety was foremost in the minds...

Dynamic Loading
This chapter deals with those problems of finite element analysis of concrete structures, which arise from the dynamic nature of loadings. Following a short enumeration of the dynamic...

Computational Aspects
In the past, two distinctly different approaches - smeared and discrete failure models have been adopted to describe failure mechanisms in plain and reinforced concrete structures. Although...

LRFD for Timber Structures
The use of load and resistance design (LRFD) methodologies is increasingly becoming the standard analysis procedure for engineering design. The concrete industry has used a variation of...

Structural Fire Resistance Design of Wood Beams and Columns: A Comparison of European and North American Practices
North American and Eurocode design methods for fire-resistive exposed wood members provide a very good example of the translation of research into practical engineering design procedures....

Using Wood as Structural Material: Some Environmental Considerations
Against a background of growing public awareness of the potential dangers of global warming resulting from increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere it is suggested...

Use of Pressuremeter in Mixed Highrise Foundation Design
The pressuremeter has been used extensively for the evaluation of strength and deformation characteristics of the glacial hardpan soils in the design and construction of caisson foundations...

Piles for Marquette University Math Building
This paper presents a comparison of static pile capacity predictions using CPT cone resistance results with results of a test pile program and production pile driving. Pile capacity prediction...

3-D Deformation Analysis of Pile Groups During Wave Loading
Deformation predictions of pile group supporting one leg of Magnus platform were conducted using the 3-D nonlinear computer program SPLICE (Structure/Pile/Soil Interaction Analysis) and...

Evaluation and Monitoring of Pile Performance Using Dynamic Measurements in Supporting Offshore Structures
The installation of offshore platforms into deeper waters and new environments is accompanied by an increasing uncertainty in the structure response, foundation design and performance....

A Centrifuge and Analytical Study to Evaluate Suction Caissons for TLP Applications in the Gulf of Mexico
This paper documents the results of a combined centrifuge and analytical study to evaluate the behavior of steel suction caissons under loading and soil conditions typical of deepwater...

Behavior of Suction Piles in Sand
In the marine environment, use of suction pressure for the installation of sealed top piles (suction piles) is a promising alternative to driven pile foundations, particularly in deep...

Execution and Evaluation of High Capacity Caisson Load Tests in Glacial Deposits
As part of the Boston Harbor clean up project, the new 1,000 mgd Deer Island Sewerage treatment plant includes ten 240 feet high egg-shaped 'residuals' tanks. Contract documents called...

Bi-Directional Load Testing of Shafts to 6000 Tons
This paper describes the use of Osterberg cells (O-cells) to perform bi-directional load testing on full size production drilled shafts for a major bridge foundation near Owensboro, Kentucky....

HUD Concerns: Post-Tensioned Foundations in Texas
An investigation was conducted of post-tensioned slab foundation systems in Texas pursuant to a request from the Headquarters Office's of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development...

The Use of Structural Composites in 21st Century Infrastructure Technology
The purpose of this paper is to create and transmit a sense of the unique benefits which effective application of composites technology can bring to the civil engineering. infrastructure...

Going International: Profit or Peril?
Six veterans of the international engineering and construction market discuss the financial risks of international work, including currency risk; expatriate living conditions; difficulties...

What's In It for Me?
The construction industry of the European Community (EC), which accounts for about 10 percent of the EC's gross domestic product, or nearly US $550 billion, commands about...
