Statistical Response of a Class of Hysteretic Systems
The response of a hysteretic nonlinear system subjected to a filtered white noise is considered. The method of time-dependent equivalent linearization is used and the moment equations...

Local Buckling of Pultruded FRP Beams: Theory and Experiment
A continuing experimental and theoretical investigation of the local compression flange buckling of commercially produced pultruded fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) beams is briefly described...

Progress in Reinforced Concrete Column Design: An Introduction
The Joint ASCE-ACI Committee 441 on Reinforced Concrete Columns is investigating a number of problems related to structural behavior and design of reinforced concrete columns. This paper...

High-Strength Concrete Columns: State of the Knowledge
This paper consists of reported information divided into two general categories, performance of High-Strength Concrete (HSC) columns under concentric loads, and combined axial and bending...

Progress in Reinforced Concrete Column Design
This paper reviews some of the design procedures used for both braced and unbraced frames constructed in reinforced concrete. The discussion refers to the problems of material and geometric...

Design of Box Girder Bridges by Nonlinear Theory
A modified design procedure applicable to a large number of conventional box girder bridges with longitudinally-stiffened flanges has been presented in this paper. It determines the ultimate...

Strength Variability of Wood Formwork Members
Failure of concrete formwork is one of the main causes of concrete construction failures. Among the main causes of formwork failure is inadequate strength. Currently there is no published...

Effects of Site Conditions of Earthquake-Resistant Design of Structures
After a brief discussion of the importance of reliable establishment of design Earthquake Ground Motions (EQGMs) for efficient Earthquake-Resistant Design (EQ-RD) of structures, this paper...

Numerical Simulation of Site Effects
Numerical simulations have proved to be very powerful tool in the analysis and study of site effects. Numerical models may be used (i) to study the pattern of shaking during a particular...

Overview - Electrical Substation Structures Design Guide
The ASCE Substation Structures subcommittee of the Committee on Electrical Transmission Structures (CETS) is developing a substation structures design guide. The guide discusses the analysis...

Test Experience with Heavy Angle Dead End Lattice Transmission Towers
During the past three years, the Electric Power Research Institute's Transmission Line Mechanical Research Center has conducted full scale tests on three 500kV heavy angle dead end lattice...

Assessment and Upgrade of an Older Transmission Line
This paper discusses the various tools and procedures which have been used to assess and upgrade an older 130 kv tower line. The purpose of the assessment was to determine the line compliance...

ASCE GUIDE for Design of Guyed Transmission Structures
This paper describes the contents of a new ASCE guide for the selection and design of guyed electrical transmission structures. Guyed transmission structures present unique analysis and...

Design Guidelines for the Use of Debonded Strands
In this paper, presented are the flexural tests performed on beams containing debonded strands. Results show that debonded strands can be used reliably and safely, stipulating that the...

Development Length of Uncoated Prestressing Strand
The Federal Highway Administration is conducting ongoing research which investigates the development length of uncoated and epoxy coated prestressing strand in prestressed concrete members....

Lateral Load Resisting Systems for Circular Buildings
The design of structural systems to economically limit inter-story drift and building acceleration for circular high rise buildings is presented within the framework of two recently constructed...

A Self-Balancing Laminate
A self balancing wood laminate has been developed based on the principle of orthotropic elasticity. Lumber is cut into three sections in the flatwise plane and each side member is turned...

Externally Stiffened I-Beam to Box-Column Connections
This paper is concerned with I-beam to Box-column connections stiffened externally. Experimental and theoretical findings on full-scale connection models are highlighted. The performance...

Investigating the Behavior of a Lattice Structural Section
Tests were conducted on a fully instrumented lattice section assembled using various connection types (bolted or welded). The results of this study show that bolt slippage can have a major...

Modelling of Extended Endplate Bolted Connections
A methodology based on finite element modelling is examined to study the behaviour of extended endplate bolted connections. ANSYS (Rev. 4.4), a large scale finite element program is used...
