Design of Composite Slabs for Vertical Shear
Three major modes of failure should be considered in the design of the positive moment regions of composite slabs incorporating profiled steel sheeting, viz.: flexure, longitudinal slip...
Cyclic Lateral Load Analysis of Composite Frames
A method of analysis for composite building frames subjected to repeated and reversed lateral loads has been developed as part of an overall investigation of seismic response of composite...
Semi-Rigid Joint Action in Composite Frames: Numerical Analysis and Design Criteria
The paper focusses on the analysis of semi-rigid composite frames, reporting mainly on the results of a research study which combines the experimental and theoretical approaches. Attention...
Investigation of Corners and Joints Applied to a Steel-Concrete Composite Caisson
We have developed a caisson composed of steel-concrete composite slabs and steel structures, which we call a `Hybrid Caisson.' We studied the structural principles and usability of the...
Composite Columns Subjected to Bending and Shear
This paper describes experimental as well as analytical studies of the post elastic deformation and fracture behaviors of wide flange steel encased reinforced concrete (SRC) composite...
Full-scale Tests on Composite Connections
Tests have been carried out on eight full-scale composite connections in which the columns were manufactured of concrete-filled steel circular hollow sections (CHS). The connections were...
Behavior of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Three-Dimensional Subassemblages
Three-dimensional subassemblages consisting of a concrete-filled steel tubular column and four H-shaped beams were tested under a constant axial load on the column, constant beam loads...
Numerical Analysis of Composite Slab Behavior
A new calculation procedure is described which provides an alternative to full-scale testing for composite slabs with ribbed decking used in buildings. This procedure consists of combining...
New Steel Beam to Composite Column Connection Detail
Composite columns consisting of hollow steel tubes filled with high strength concrete with compressive strength exceeding 10000 psi (69 MPa) are being used in high-rise buildings. Connecting...
Effects of Connections on Composite Frames
This paper summarizes the preliminary findings from an experimental and theoretical study of the influence of composite connections on frame behaviour. The first part of the work included...
Townsite Lateral-Stage 2 Belle Fourche Unit - Cheyenne Division Concrete: Pipe with Dumped Bedding and Embedment
In 1933, M. G. Spangler presented three bedding configurations and the concept of a bedding factor to relate the supporting strength of buried concrete pipe to the strength obtained in...
Estimation of Reliability Parameters for Rehabilitation of Pipelines
This paper presents fundamental principles of estimating statistical characteristics of the elements of urban underground infrastructure networks, which provides a basis of statistical...
Analysis of Pavement-Pipeline Systems After Cut Restoration
The placement of utility pipes normally necessitates many cuts and fills of the existing pavements. Integrity of pipeline and compatible performance of cut restoration and original pavement...
Gas Pipeline Fitness-for-Service Investigation
A delta reclamation district's plan to add significant fill on their levee caused great concern for the integrity of a critical PG&E 22-inch (559 mm) gas transmission line which...
Standard Installations: A Synopsis of the ASCE Standard Practice for Direct Design of Buried Precast Concrete Pipe
In 1970, the American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPA) began a long range research program which focused on the behavior of buried concrete pipe. The research resulted in the comprehensive...
Washington State Pavement Management System
This paper provides a brief overview of the Washington State Pavement management System....
Programme Management in Highway Region
In the beginning of the 1990's FinnRA suggested decreasing resources for the Lapland highway district whereas the district felt that such a policy would have very harmful long term effects....
The Transrapid EMS Maglev System
The Transrapid 300 mph (500 km/hr) magnetically levitated transportation system is ready for revenue application. The maglev system uses contactless electromagnetic suspension and three...
Long-Term Pavement Performance Program for Years 1992-1997: A Strategic Plan
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) began operational management of the Strategic Highway Research Program's (SHRP) Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program on July 1, 1992....
Validation of SHRP Performance Graded Binder Specifications Using Field Simulation Testing Equipment
The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) was initiated to improve the effectiveness of laboratory test methods in predicting field performance. European highway agencies are using...
