Environmental Degradation of Concrete Pore Structure
This paper illustrates how Conductometric Phase Transition Porosimetry can be used to monitor changes in the pore structure of Portland Cement Concrete which result from repeated freezing...

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...

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...

AE Instrumentation and Deconvolution Techniques
This paper describes the difficulties and solutions achieved in applying advanced Acoustic Emission (AE) signal analysis techniques to fracture mechanics. The test specimen is a double...

Displacement Measurement by Laser Interferometry and Image Analysis
Laser holographic interferometry was used for the evaluation of displacement fields on concrete and fiber reinforced concrete specimens. Transmission holography was used to analyze mortar...

Anomalous Structural Size Effect in Cohesive Materials Like Concrete
This contribution analyses on theoretical grounds the size effect trends in special cases where - unlike most experimental situations in fracture research - the specimen is not precracked...

ASCE Salary Survey 1989
The 20th biennial ASCE salary survey of the engineering profession conducted by the ASCE Committee on Employment Conditions during the fourth quarter of 1989 is presented. It consists...

More Than a Public Hearing
Too often, required community input is reduced to the sometimes dreaded public hearing. Many formal public-involvement programs are comprised of no more than this minimal, yet essential,...

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...

Seismic Risk Considerations for Transportation Systems
During the recent Loma Prieta Earthquake, major damage to certain key transportation elements greatly affected operations of major transportation systems within the San Francisco Bay Area....

Probabilistic Prediction of Losses to Lifeline Systems Due to Earthquakes
An efficient and practical method for earthquake loss estimation for lifelines is developed, using the recent advances made in the areas of lifeline earthquake engineering and probabilistic...

Structural Details: Is Anything Missing?
While actual failure of a structure is uncommon, many projects have less publicized, detailing-related difficulties involving rework, changes, clarifications, and increased costs. If the...

Recent Lifeline Seismic Risk Studies
This monograph is a collection of four papers presented at the 1990 Annual Civil Engineering Convention and Exposition in San Francisco, California. The papers summarize seismic loss and...

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,...

Summary Report on the Computer Analysis of the Colossus
This chapter briefly discusses the results of a computer analysis of the Colossus....

Deck Park Covers Phoenix Freeway
The last link in interstate I-10, the coast to coast highway from Florida to California, will be completed in Phoenix, Arizona in 1989. The last eleven-mile section through Phoenix has...

Reconstruction Under Traffic: A Study of Some Effects of the Dan Ryan Project on Motor Carrier Operations in Northeast Illinois
The paper discusses preparations by the Chicago Area Transportation Study for a study of the operational responses of truckers to whatever effects upon the regional highway system are...

Load-Permit Truck Operations in New York State
This paper presents the results of a survey of indivisible-load permit vehicle operations in New York State. The survey was conducted in the context of an investigation into the impacts...

Analyzing in 3D
Suggestions for modeling and evaluating three-dimensional (3D) structures are presented. These suggestions are based on the authors' sixteen years of day to day involvement...

Some General Remarks on the Structural Behavior and Load-Extension Characteristics of Coated Fabrics with Special Reference to PTFE-Coated Glass-Fiber Fabric
The understanding of fabric behavior, and of coated fabrics in particular, is essential for the design and analysis of fabric structures. Although many research papers have been published...
