Vancouver's Skytrain Cable-Stayed Bridge?Dynamic Behaviour
This paper focuses on the dynamic behaviour of the Skytrain cable-stayed bridge under the action of earthquakes and wind. The 340 m span railway bridge is located on the west coast of...

Dynamic Simulation of Foundations on Winkler Subgrade
The objective of this paper is to present a dynamic simulation of foundations on Winkler subgrade. The analysis is based on a direct simulation procedure. The structures have been modeled...

Lateral Impedance of Contact Pile Foundations
The static and dynamic lateral impedance of pile foundations for which there is continuous contact between the bottom of the pilecap and the underlying soil is investigated. A parametric...

Assessment & Control of Wind Created Risk During Construction
Structures under construction have been damaged by winds. The damaging winds, typically, are much lower than the design wind loads for completed structures. Little guidance is available...

Improved Design Procedure for Shallow-Buried Structures to Resist Airblast Loading
Both conventional and nuclear weapons generate airblast loads of sufficient magnitude that structure survival at acceptable cost favors below grade construction. The design of shallow-buried...

Multiple Bolt Row Moment End-Plates
This paper presents a portion of the results of a study to develop design procedures for the extended, multiple row, moment end-plate configuration. This configuration is used in steel...

Behavior and Design of Semi-Rigid Composite Frames
Recent advances and experimental research on the behavior of composite semi-rigid frames indicates that substantial savings can be achieved with this method of construction. The current...

On Steel Connection Data Bank at Purdue University
The aim of the establishment of the steel beam-to-column connection data bank program at Purdue University in 1986 was to provide the necessary data base for the determination of the moment-rotation...

Thin Precast Fiber Reinforced Cement Panels
This paper provides an overview of some current applications, manufacturing methods, and physical properties of thin fiber reinforced cement board products currently produced. Many of...

Chemical Admixtures for Concrete, What is in Them for the Structural Engineer?
The paper summarizes the effect of admixtures on the economy in construction of concrete structures, on their strength, and on their durability under a variety of service conditions. As...

High Strength Concrete - A New Material
In this paper, the material properties and structural member behavior of normal and high-strength concretes are summarized. The current ACI code recommendations are based on results of...

Large Reinforced Concrete Active Reclaim Silos
The design and construction of large reinforced concrete shell silos used to provide economical short-term protected storage for coal and lignite in the active reclaim systems of power...

Design of Steel Buildings for Second Order Effects
Several methods of calculating corrected effective length factors for unbraced frames are presented and discussed. In addition, an alternate format is suggested for the ASD beam-column...

Projectile Penetration Into Reinforced Concrete and Steel Targets
This paper presents brief preliminary results of a research program sponsored by the Air Force Weapons Laboratory (AFWL) to investigate the interaction of 30-mm cannon projectiles with...

Engineers in Court
Engineers who like debating often serve as expert witnesses. Though many avoid forensic work because they find lawyers intimidating, some like the challenge of explaining engineering principles...

Procedures for Evaluating TSM Projects
The constraints of limited funding, increasing demand and environmental impact have led to an increase in Transportation Systems Management (TSM) improvements on surface transport systems....

Simulation of Intersections During Reconstruction
In order to make computer simulation of intersections more appealing and easier to use, and interactive, menu-driven micro-computer program, called INTERCON (Michalopoulos and Plum, 1986),...

Photogrammetric Analysis Using a Personal Computer
In many cases, photographs of the accident scene taken soon after the event contain visible evidence of road marks and/or debris. By the time the case reaches the accident investigator/reconstructionist,...

Building Structures
This volume contains over forty papers from thirteen sessions of Structures Congress '87. The papers include a variety of topics on the overall behavior and design of buildings...

Teleport: New Wave Engineering
Between $600 and $700 million will be spent on teleports now being planned in the U.S., presenting interesting challenges to civil engineers. Just as airports and seaports serve as collection...
