Traversing the Terminals
When it opens this December, the Denver International airport will rely on an $89 million automated-people-mover, (APM) system as the primary means of transporting passengers between the...

Trenchless Track Record
Ottawa is a leading user of trenchless technology for sewer rehabilitation projects. The municipality has nearly a decade's worth of experience with at least nine different...

In Search of Better Load Ratings
Typically, engineers must make a number of subjective assumptions regarding loading and response behavior when they develop a load rating for civil structures. As a result, many unknowns...

All Dressed Up
Its location at 660 Madison Avenue will put the new home of clothier Barneys New York in the heart of Manhattan's exclusive midtown shopping district, but the $120 million...

Speedy Backfilling for Old Mines
In November 1992, the U.S. Bureau of Mines, in cooperation with the Office of Surface Mining (OSM), used two recently-developed pneumatic backfilling devices to completely fill an abandoned...

Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete in Japan and US: Introduction and Overview
The finite element method of analysis now provides the engineer with the capability to analyze very complex structural systems in a much more realistic manner including geometry and support...

Constitutive models
The constitutive models used in the finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures are presented from a number of different perspectives. The first part of this chapter presents...

Fracture Mechanics
This brief report, prepared by ACl 447 Subcommittee 2, reviews recent advances in finite element modeling of fracture and damage in concrete structures. The fundamentals of the fracture...

Reinforced Concrete
Recent developments and procedures used to model reinforced concrete using finite element analysis are summarized. Special emphasis is placed on the results of a survey of papers published...

Time-Dependent Behavior
This paper is a report of the material presented at the International Workshop on Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete, Session 4 - Time Dependent Behavior, held at Columbia...

Dynamic Loading
This chapter deals with those problems of finite element analysis of concrete structures, which arise from the dynamic nature of loadings. Following a short enumeration of the dynamic...
