Splice/Development Length Requirements for FRP Grids Used in the Structural Reinforcement of Concrete
The research presented in this paper program was directed towards determining development length and splice requirements for FRP grids used in the reinforcement of concrete structures....

Feasibility of FRP Molded Grating-Concrete Composites for One-Way Slab Systems
This paper describes the behavior of one-way concrete slabs reinforced with Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) molded grating. FRP molded grating is commercially available and is mainly...

Hybrid (FRP+Steel) Reinforcement for Concrete Structures
The most popular method to prevent corrosion of steel rebars and prestressing tendons is epoxy coating. This paper presents an alternative approach consisting in the combination of a fiber-reinforced-plastic...

Investigation of the Behavior of Reinforced Plastic Columns with Concrete Core
This paper describes an experimental investigation into the behavior of reinforced plastic columns with tubular (hollow) sections. The columns were pultruded and had a cross-section which...

Behavior of Externally Confined Concrete Columns
This paper investigates the feasibility of strengthening of seismically deficient concrete columns with high-strength fiber composite straps. The concrete columns will be externally confined...

Fiber/Epoxy Composites Strengthen Bridge Columns
The California Department of Transportation is using high strength fiber/epoxy composites to strengthen existing reinforced concrete bridge columns. These advanced composite materials...

Behavior of Concrete-Graphite/Epoxy Sections in Composite Bridge Girders
The focus of this work is on the behavior of composite bridge girders constructed from carbon-fiber-reinforced-plastic sections and concrete slabs. The study examines four-point bending...

Structural Performance of Hardwood-Metal Composite Beams
This research examines the deflection characteristics of layered timber/steel composite beams with hopes of applying such principles to large timber structures such as highway bridges....

Sprayed-Zinc Galvanic Anodes for the Cathodic Protection of Reinforcing Steel in Concrete
Corrosion of reinforcing steel bars (rebars), due to penetration of chloride ions from seawater affects the substructure of many bridges in marine service. In a new, low cost control method,...

Evaluation of Partial Depth Spall Repair Materials and Procedures
In 1990, as a part of a Strategic Highway Research Program project (SHRP H-106, Innovative Materials Development and Testing), an investigation was initiated to evaluate the performance...

Probabilistic Mechanics and Structural and Geotechnical Reliability
This proceedings consists of summary papers for the thirty-six technical sessions of the 6th ASCE Specialty Conference on Probabilistic Mechanics, and Structural and Geotechnical Reliability....

Embankment Dams
James L. Sherard Contributions
This volume is dedicated to the memory of Dr. James L. Sherard, who made many contributions to embankment dam engineering. Twenty-one of his papers related to this topic were selected...

The Crown and the Curtain Wall
Crowning the complex curtainwall of an 870 ft concrete tower with a 150 ft high crown of aluminum masts in concentric rings above the 60th floor required ingenuity and extraordinary cooperation...

Portrait of a Manager
Although some are born leaders, most managers are actually created. In a perfect world, the young engineer would receive a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering, specializing,...

Evaluation of Seismic Vulnerability of Highway Bridges in the Eastern United States
For high risk seismic zones such as California, the state-of-the-art in earthquake resistant design for new highway bridges has been well advanced, especially since the damaging 1971 San...

Response of Model Pile Groups to Strong Shaking
The dynamic responses of small model pile groups to strong shaking obtained primarily from shake table tests are described and analyzed. As a basis for understanding pile group response,...

Seismic Pile-Group?Structure Interaction
A detailed multi-step procedure is outlined for a complete seismic soil-pile-foundation-structure interaction analysis, within the format of kinematic-inertial decomposition. Newly-developed...

Cone Models for a Pile Foundation
A single pile in a soil halfspace is modeled for dynamic excitation with disks and their corresponding double cones. This simple one-dimensional strength-of-materials approach provides...

An Alternative Analysis of Vibration Tests on Two Pile Group Foundations
Published quick-release horizontal vibration tests on two pile group foundations supporting large transformer banks are analyzed in this paper using the dynamic impedance approach embodied...

Forced Vibration Testing of an Expanded Base Concrete Pile
Forced vibration testing of a full-scale cast-in-situ expanded base concrete pile supporting a structural mass was conducted as part of a test pile program for a paper mill expansion at...
