FRP Box-Beams Under Long-Time Static and Fatigue Loading
This paper discusses experimental and analytical aspects of the long-time behavior of filament wound E-glass fiber reinforced epoxy-box-beams. Theoretical and experimental data are compared...

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...

Rational Limits for Longitudinal Steel in Concrete Columns
Current limits for the amount of longitudinal reinforcement in concrete columns were established more than 60 years ago. Commercial grades of reinforcement in 1930 were about half as strong...

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...

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...

Evaluation of Wood Floor Vibration Design Criteria
In the United States, floors in wood buildings are designed according to strength and deflection criteria under static uniform loads. With the introduction of engineered joist products...

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...

Load and Resistance Factors for Bridge Design Code
The paper summarizes the code development procedures used for the new LRFD (load and resistance factor design) bridge code. The current specifications use allowable stresses and/or load...

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....

Mechanical Behavior of Dowels Embedded in Concrete
In this paper an experimental investigation on the behavior of dowels embedded in concrete is described. The dowel strength under monotonic forces with two different boundary conditions...

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...

Metal Truss Plates: Less than Full-Depth Penetration and Shear Buckling
This paper presents the results of two experimental studies on metal truss plates which are used to join members of wood trusses. The first study investigated the effect that less than...

Natural Decay Resistance of Glued-Laminated Beams
The natural decay resistance of untreated Douglas-fir heartwood specimens sampled from glued-laminated beams was evaluated using a modified agar plate test modeled after the European Standard...

The Effects of Bolt Over-Tightening on Bolted Connections
This paper describes a portion of the research program being conducted on structural connectors which have been over-tightened. Direct-Tension Indicators (DTI) may be specified for use...

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...

High Strength Shotcrete and Concrete on the SSC Project
This paper addresses the technical aspects related to the use of high strength shotcrete and concrete on the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) project. 7,000 psi shotcrete and 8,000...

Uniform Lateral Load Capacity of Infilled Frames
Three tests were conducted on 2.4 meter by 2.4 meter steel frames infilled with structural clay tile to determine the behavior and capacity when subjected to uniform lateral loads. An...

Limit States Analysis of Masonry Arches
The limit states analysis of masonry arches, heretofore used only for the analysis of hinging mechanisms within the arch ring, is shown to have wider applicability. Lower and upper bounds...

Steel-Concrete Interaction by Means of Film Sensors
By adapting a recently-developed technique based on the piezoelectrical properties of relatively thick films made of Polyvinyldifluor organic composites and extensively used in robotics,...
