Development of Inelastic Reduction Factors to Provide an Elastic Design Procedure
R factor values can only be rationally selected when they are based on in part nonlinear inelastic dynamic analyses of building system types. However, it is informative to discuss the...

Response of Concrete Buildings to Lateral Forces
ACI-ASCE Committee 442 (Response of Concrete Buildings to Lateral Forces) has just issued its report (ACI-ASCE 442 1988a). In that Report, the performance of reinforced concrete buildings...

Inelastic Seismic Design of Concrete Structures
This paper provides an overview of the state-of-the-art publication on the same subject under preparation by ASCE-ACI Committee 442's Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Inelastic Response...

Inelastic Seismic Analysis of Concrete Buildings
The important inelastic analysis techniques that are suitable for concrete buildings subjected to earthquakes are summarized. Basic principles and practical modeling guidelines are given...

Bermed Shelters Subjected to Accidental Explosions
An investigation of the adequacy of two competing shelter designs to protect the occupants from an accidental explosion in a nearby shelter is described. Two bermed shelters, one of rectangular...

Residual Capacity of Explosively Damaged Reinforced Concrete Columns
The results of load tests on explosively damaged reinforced concrete columns are presented. The method used to correlate an ultimate strength, laminar type of reinforced concrete analysis...

Structural Resistance of Slabs for Blast Loading
Results from a series of static tests on one-way reinforced concrete slabs are summarized. The slabs were loaded with a uniform pressure and tested to large deflections. Parameters varied...

Reevaluation of Reinforced Concrete Slabs Subjected to Blast Effects
Failures in reinforced concrete shallow-buried structures subjected to the effects of severe dynamic loads are reevaluated by employing a modified Timoshenko beam formulation which includes...

SDOF Structural Response Model Accounting for SSI
This paper outlines the theory associated with single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structural response models which account for soil-structure interaction (SSI) and evaluates the performance...

Tension Leg Platform
a State of the Art Review
Prepared by the Task Group on Compliant Offshore Platforms of ASCE. This report considers the analysis and design of tension leg platforms (TLPs),...

Influence of Geologic Development on Horizontal Stress in Soil
Geologic history commonly controls the stress in natural soils, so that an understanding of the geology allows an assessment of the horizontal stress. This paper describes mechanistically...

Screw Plate Test for Drained and Undrained Soil Parameters
This paper describes a screw plate test device developed with a capability to measure the generation and dissipation of excess pore water pressure during testing in cohesive soils. The...

Cyclic Behavior of Natural Overconsolidated Clay in Two Loading Modes
One-way, stress-controlled, cyclic triaxial compression tests were conducted on a heavily overconsolidated (Ko > 1), slickensided, natural clay with a view to modeling its cyclic...

First-Order Estimation of K_o in Sands and Clays
The in-situ horizontal stress coefficient (K_o) is known to be the dominant design parameter controlling the side resistance of deep foundations....

Power Pole Foundations in Reclaimed Mining Area
In central Florida, where strip mining for phosphate ore is a primary industry, street surfaces often become rolling because of differential settlement, and electrical transmission poles...

Jet Grout Stabilization of Peaty Soils Under a Railway Embankment in Italy
The construction of two railway embankments on a peaty soil deposit up to 7m thick required a foundation improvement program meeting very strict specifications in terms of environmental...

Jet Grouting to Construct a Soilcrete Wall Using a Twin Stem System
An existing coal loading pier located in Norfolk, Virginia was completed in 1961 for the purpose of loading ocean going ships. It was determined that dredging adjacent to the pier would...

Improving Properties of Active Clay by Sand Admixtures
Characteristics of an active clay under various contents of sand are presented. The sand is an admixture used for improving properties of the active clay deposited at a marginal site....

Tangent Modulus of Piles Determined from Strain Data
When evaluating measurements of strain or telltale shortening of a pile subjected to loading test, precise knowledge of the 'elastic' modulus is necessary. By means of plotting and analyzing...

Fact or Friction: A Review of Soil Response to a Laterally Moving Pile
A review of soil response around a laterally moving pile is presented and 'Winkler' spring soil modulus variations are discussed. Based on available theory, and...
