Macroelement Model for Shear Wall Analysis
An efficient modeling scheme for static and dynamic analysis of reinforced concrete shear walls in the inelastic range is presented. The macroelement model of the shear wall is composed...
The BS8110 CAL Program for Teaching RC Design
This paper describes the main features of RC-CAL, a computer-aided-learning courseware for reinforced concrete design to BS8110, the British Code of Practice. Results of an evaluation...
Rotating Crack Model and Fracture in a R/C Medium
In this study the potential of the development of cracks in the members of a reinforced concrete large panel structure is considered. The analysis is carried out using finite element modeling...
Deformations in Sand Layer During Pile Driving
This paper presents measurements of settlement and lateral soil movements in a medium dense to dense sand layer due to densification during driving of precast concrete piles. At one end...
Measured Downdrag on Seven Coated and Uncoated Piles in New Orleans
A site outside of New Orleans, Louisiana was selected as part of a research effort to study the phenomenon of downdrag on bitumen-coated piles. Two steel pipe piles, two timber piles,...
Energy Dissipation for a RCC Stepped Spillway
A two-dimensional physical model study was used to quantify the kinetic energy dissipation of the steps in a roller compacted concrete (RCC) stepped spillway. The steps were effective...
Bed Load Prediction in Steep Mountain Rivers
The characteristics of the stream channel morphologies in a very steep mountain ravine are explained by the data obtained through the longterm field observation. The bed load transportation...
Velocity Control Rings for RC Pipe on Steep Slopes
This paper discusses the use of internal concrete rings to reduce velocity and concrete erosion for reinforced concrete pipes on steep slopes in the Southern California area....
