A Prestressed Kevlar/FRP Structural System
The strength/stiffness characteristics of a new lightweight composite structural system have been investigated in this study. The proposed system is constructed of FRP(E-glass/isophthalic...
An Extended Mixture Approach for Modeling of Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Materials
A rate-independent, anisotropic model for Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Materials (FRCMs) is presented. A continuum damage/plasticity model for the concrete and an effective fiber model...
High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement-Based Composites
Fracture of cement-based composites reinforced by the relative high fiber volume is studied. Crack propagation and damage distribution were examined by laser holographic interferometry....
Material Properties Related to Pavement Performance
As part of the Strategic Highway Research Program, an effort has been made to review research literature which can be used to relate asphalt properties to pavement performance. This report...
Beam-To-Column Connections for Pultruded FRP Structures
Moment-rotation and strength characteristics of beam-to-column bolted connections of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) pultruded wide-flange structural shapes are discussed. Results of experimental...
Concrete Pavement?Specification by Modeling
Concrete pavement specifications have traditionally been prescriptive with construction in-put defined. This practice does not include a definition of the product intended, restricts innovation,...
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...
Irrigation and Drainage
This proceedings consists of 70 papers presented at the National Conference on Irrigation and Drainage sponsored by the Irrigation and Drainage Division of the American Society of Civil...
Watershed Planning and Analysis in Action
This proceedings consists of papers presented at the 1990 Watershed Management Symposium held in Durango, Colorado from July 9-14, 1990. These papers present both research performed in...
Prospects for International Engineering Practice
International trade is growing in construction products and services. It is stimulated by international efforts to reduce technical barriers to trade and the formation of a single European...
Gateways to Understanding
Automating engineering design processes are crucial to the growth and the very survival of professional services providers. The need to enhance their competitiveness and the value provided...
50th Anniversary of the Hydraulic Division 1938-1988
This publication consists of the papers presented at the special sessions of the 1988 ASCE National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, August 8-10,...
Hydraulics/Hydrology of Arid Lands (H?AL)
This proceedings consists of papers presented at the International Symposium on the Hydraulics and Hydrology of Arid Lands which was held in conjunction with the 1990 National Conference...
Seismic Surgery
The authors describe the installation of seismic isolators in the columns of an eight-story concrete building in Seal Beach, Calif., which serves as Information Systems Center for Rockwell...
Replacing Bridge Decks
U.S. bridges last an average of 68 years, their decks 35 years. But few bridges have been built with provisions for future deck repair, the only criterion being lowest first cost. During...
Residential Streets

Water
This is an overview of civil engineering challenges in the water and wastewater fields by the end of the decade. Experts offer predictions and opinions about drought and the need to conserve...
The Demonstration Project on Seismic Loss Estimation for Water Systems
This year a monograph is being produced that summarizes results of a four-year project by the Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering (TCLEE) of ASCE in order to demonstrate...
Effects of Uncertainties in Component Fragilities on Lifeline Seismic Risk Analysis
Accurate calculation of the seismic risk for lifelines requires modeling the system as a function of its components, and requires accurate modeling of two engineering factors: (1) the...
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....
