Suspended Polycarbonate Shield to Defeat Terrorist Threats
The Navy Civil Engineering Laboratory is conducting research on a window concept that offers great potential for overcoming the disadvantages of blast resistant windows. The concept is...

Limiting Performance and Design by Reanalysis of Structures for Blast Resistance
Limiting performance is the absolute optimal response of a structure under a specified transient load. Reanalysis methods are computational techniques for analyzing locally modified large-scale...

Fault Identification by Seismic Impact Load Techniques
The propagation of seismic waves generated by impact loading across a normal fault in carbonate rock was investigated by the seismic refraction technique. The field records were reduced,...

Wind-Induced Response of a Tall Building and Comparisons With Wind Tunnel Predictions
This paper describes the measured wind-induced response of a tall office tower and comparisons made with wind tunnel studies of the building. The use of an innovative structural system...

Rational Design Approach for Tension on the Net Section
A study of the bearing and net section capacities of bolt connections for material thicknesses encountered in cold-formed members was conducted. This paper summarizes the findings as they...

Buckling of Thin-Walled Members by p-Version of FEM
P-Version of the finite element method (FEM) is used for one-D and three-D modeling of thin-walled open sections and axial compressive load. Equal angle and channel sections are used for...

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...

Moment Rotation Curves for Double Framing Angles
Moment-rotation curves for bolted framed steel connections are derived from force-deflection data obtained from laboratory tension and compression tests of angle segments. These derived...

Practical Analysis of Flexibly-Connected Building Frames
Modeling of flexible connection behavior as elastic-perfectly plastic is proposed for analysis of building frames, and results based on this idealization are compared with fully non-linear...

Centrally Loaded Columns
The paper has given a detailed description of the chapter on centrally loaded columns that will appear in the 4th Edition of the Structural Stability Research Council 'Guide...

Beam-Columns
The Fourth Edition of the SSRC Guide presents a state-of-the-art information on beam-columns for use by specification writers, researchers, and designers. The present paper is an extremely...

Frame Stability
The Chapter on Frame Stability of the Fourth Edition of the SSRC Guide provides guidance on use of several stability design procedures. These include Critical Load Concept, Second-Order...

Effect of Connector Spacing on Double Angle Compressive Strength
The 1986 AISC 'Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Specification for Structural Steel Buildings' includes new rules affecting the design of built-up members...

Reliability-oriented Design of Fatigue Experiments
It is well known in the reliability analysis for structural components subjected to cyclic random load that apart from the usually model parameters uncertainties are most important and...

Reliability Revision for Structures in Service
Models of structural reliability are called upon to provide not only initial estimates of safety, but also revised estimates reflecting new information on the structure as it becomes available....

Fracture-Mechanics-Based Fatigue Life Estimate
Fatigue lives of tee-shaped weldments are estimated using fracture mechanics concepts and crack growth rate data. Fracture mechanics is used to develop an approximate expression for stress...

Aluminum Orthotropic Bridge Deck Verification
This paper reports tests conducted to evaluate an aluminum orthotropic deck. Approximately 60 welded T-joints with 6061-T6 stems and 5456-H321 plate were subjected to flexural fatigue...

Fatigue Design Criteria for Welded Steel Details
A review of fatigue data and reassessment of the 1983 fatigue specification resistance functions has been conducted. Since the AASHTO specification fatigue resistance provisions were introduced...

A Fatigue Study of Prestressing Strand
Strand fatigue data reported in the literature and also from recent tests were combined to form a data base of strand fatigue data which was analyzed using regression analysis techniques....

Fatigue Strength of Welded Wire Fabric
Long life fatigue tests were made on 12 concrete slabs reinforced with large diameter, Grade 75, deformed welded wire fabric. The specimens simulated, to full scale, conditions in a bare...
