Connection of Beam Flange to Concrete-Filled Tubular Column
Research has been carried out on a frame composed of a concrete-filled steel tubular column and H-shaped steel beam with the aim of developing a reasonable connection method. The proposed...
Steel Beams with Reinforced Concrete Stiffened Ends
For the construction of office building with long span beams, steel beams with reinforced concrete stiffened ends are being used in order to increase the stiffness. This paper describes...
Behavior of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Three-Dimensional Subassemblages
Three-dimensional subassemblages consisting of a concrete-filled steel tubular column and four H-shaped beams were tested under a constant axial load on the column, constant beam loads...
Composite Beams with Headed Studs in Narrow Ribbed Metal Deck
This paper presents the results of sixteen push-out tests conducted to study the behavior of headed stud connectors in composite beams with narrow ribbed metal deck placed parallel to...
Force Transfer in Composite Columns
The force transfer from steel to concrete without mechanical transfer devices in composite columns at points of load introduction is studied. A mechanism of force transfer and the factors...
Steel Panel Encased R.C. Composite Shear Walls
In order to make clear the fundamental resisting mechanisms of composite shear walls, tests are carried out on the composite unit rigid frames with various infilled shear walls. Composite...
The Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Beams Manufactured with Side Profile Sheets
The paper describes in qualitative terms the fundamental principles that control the behaviour of a completely new form of construction in which reinforced concrete beams are constructed...
Chemical Resistance of Thermosetting Resins Used for Cured-in-Place Pipe
This paper summarizes the chemistry, short term physical properties, and long term chemical resistance for representative epoxy vinyl ester, epoxy, and polyester resins that are currently...
SHRP Deformation Test?Asphalt Mix Tests and Analysis Systems
From analyses of existing information on the permanent-deformation characteristics of asphalt/binder-aggregate mixes, as well as the development of permanent deformation in pavement structures,...
Accessibility of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Data and the Need for Data Storage and Dissemination Standards
Ease of data access and data standards are two issues critical to the success of GIS technology when applied to earthquake hazards research problems that require geotechnical engineering...
Assessment and Repair of Fire-Damaged Concrete Structures
Concrete, even though it may be the most fire-resistant of all the major building materials, can be damaged by fire. Seldom does even a major fire cause total destruction, however, most...
Generic Problems
Generic Problems are basic problems in structural mechanics that recur frequently, have been investigated experimentally and involve the behavior of elements or components found in many...
Seismic Design of Multi-Story, Wood-Framed Buildings
The seismic design and analysis of wood-framed structures is relatively simple; however, the challenges that present themselves within this design medium are shear and overturning force...
LRFD for Timber Structures
The use of load and resistance design (LRFD) methodologies is increasingly becoming the standard analysis procedure for engineering design. The concrete industry has used a variation of...
Structural Fire Resistance Design of Wood Beams and Columns: A Comparison of European and North American Practices
North American and Eurocode design methods for fire-resistive exposed wood members provide a very good example of the translation of research into practical engineering design procedures....
Drilled Shaft Side Resistance in Clay Soil to Rock
An evaluation is made of available field load test data for the axial side clay soils to hard rocks. Conventional total stress interpretations by the alpha method are used to examine the...
Side Resistance of Drilled Shafts in the Denver and Pierre Formations
Results of load tests on drilled shaft foundations in Upper Cretaceous shales are described and evaluated. Three load tests were conducted on shafts in the Denver Formation, in Denver,...
Behavior of Instrumented Model Piers in Manufactured Rock with a Soft Layer
A laboratory test apparatus has been used to study the side resistance of piers socketed into manufactured soft-rock masses. The results of four tests are reported, three of which included...
Strength Design for Reinforced-Concrete Hydraulic Structures
21st Century Timber Engineering
Timber engineering is moving into the 21st Century faced with challenges in technology, governmental mandates and environmental concerns. Engineers are continuously being challenged in...
