Building Blocks for the Future
In the near term, advanced, conventional materials�namely higher-strength steel and concrete�will dominate infrastructure rehab. New steels of higher strengths and toughness are increasingly...
Cleaning Up: The Second Decade
Endless media coverage and a high level of public anxiety make it seem as though the U.S. has been attempting to clean toxic waste sites for decades. In fact, the 1980s were our first...
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....
Probabilistic Prediction of Losses to Lifeline Systems Due to Earthquakes
An efficient and practical method for earthquake loss estimation for lifelines is developed, using the recent advances made in the areas of lifeline earthquake engineering and probabilistic...
Structural Details: Is Anything Missing?
While actual failure of a structure is uncommon, many projects have less publicized, detailing-related difficulties involving rework, changes, clarifications, and increased costs. If the...
Industry Faces the Parking Problem
Parking structures are deteriorating; no land is available for new facilities; and employees have no other options for parking. The situation is a serious one, verging on disaster for...
