Nonlinear Analysis of RC Beams Using High Performance FRC Matrices
The results of a nonlinear analysis model of reinforced concrete beams using a high performance fiber reinforced cement based matrix, particularly SIFCON (Slurry Infiltrated Fiber Concrete)...

Seismic Resistance of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints
This paper discusses the advantages of using steel fibers in seismic resistant beam-column connections. First, the effects of fibers on the various aspects of behavior of concrete are...

Analysis and Design of SFRC Structural Elements
This paper presents and validates practical methods for flexural, shear and torsional analysis and design of fibrous reinforced concrete structural elements. The effects of both fiber...

Steel Fiber Reinforcement in Structural Application
Ribbon Technology Corporation's use of steel fiber reinforced concrete in the construction of their new manufacturing and office facility in Gahanna, Ohio. Cost savings are obtained by...

The Use of Built-Up Compression Members?A Fabricator's Viewpoint
A variety of cross-sections of built-up compression members that have been used are shown. Suggested items that need to be addressed for the successful design and fabrication are discussed....

Creep and Shrinkage of Composite Columns in Tall Buildings
The simultaneous presence of steel and composite columns in tall buildings is a common occurrence. The axial shortening characteristics of composite columns are influenced by creep and...

Performance and Serviceability of Composite Floors
Concrete slabs on steel deck are the most common type of floor system in use today. This system of construction is particularly advantageous when ultimate strength design (LRFD) is used....

The Innovative Concept of Semi-rigid Composite Beam
This paper discusses invention and development of a new type of composite beam called 'Semi-rigid Composite Beam.' This new type of beam is expected to behave better than presently used...

Vibration of Composite Floors
An AISC/CISC guideline on floor vibration is being prepared to help practitioners design to avoid floor vibration problems and to remedy problems that occur in practice. This paper provides...

Achieving Level Composite Steel Floors
Constructing deflected composite steel floors that are level is a complex operation, and one which requires cooperation and an exchange of information between the structural engineer and...

Acoustic Emission Monitoring of Stressed Composite Bars
In this study, Acoustic Emission (AE) technique is used to monitor the behavior of composite bars subjected to direct tension. Aramid Fiber Reinforced Plastics (AFRP) bars were loaded...

How to Optimize Reinforced Concrete Systems
A straightforward procedure for the optimization of member dimensions and reinforcement design in concrete structures consisting of beams, slabs, and columns is presented. The procedure...

Steel Fiber Reinforced Shotcrete?An End-User Prospective
Nearly 15 years of experience demonstrates that steel reinforcing fibers in shotcrete offer considerable advantages to all end-users: designers, contractors and owners. These include demonstrable...

Large Scale Testing of Shotcrete
A large scale test program was carried out to evaluate the relative roles of steel fiber and mesh reinforced shotcrete for hard rock stabilization. The most realistic conditions in a tunnel...

What Does Bring Ductility to Steel Fibre Reinforced Shotcrete?
It is generally accepted that ductility is the main characteristic of SFRS. Tests on scale 1/1 have been conducted to determine the influence of ductility on the bearing capacity and crack...

Steel Fibre Reinforced Shotcrete Design
There is a need for introducing toughness and ductility in SFRS design. The Japanese Standard introduces the equivalent flexural strength, which characterizes SFRS toughness and allows...

Shotcrete for Underground Support V
This proceedings consists of papers presented at the Engineering Foundation Conference held in Uppsala, Sweden on June 3-7, 1990. They are divided into sections concerned with the design...

Plastic Piling
Composite plastic and steel piles are gaining acceptance throughout the United States. The evolving technology has produced a unique product which solves several problems related to use...

Sensitivity Analyses for Total-System Performance Assessment
As a follow-on to Sandia's 1991 preliminary total-system performance assessment of the Yuc1ca Mountain site, this paper presents results of some sensitivity analyses that were done using...

Combined Boundary Element and Finite Element Analysis of Composite Slab on Girder Bridges
In this paper, the coupling of boundary element and finite element methods and its application to analyze slab on girder bridges are studied. The boundary element method (BEM) is employed...
