Intelligent Civil Engineering Materials and Structures
This report surveys the interdisciplinary research activities focused on the applying new technologies to infrastructure systems. Traditional civil engineering tools are not sufficient...

Observation and Modeling in Numerical Analysis and Model Tests in Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction Problems
Experimental and analytical studies have both involved soil-structure interaction. Experimental studies offer an opportunity to directly observe the complex phenomena, while analytical...

Wind Loads and Anchor Bolt Design for Petrochemical Facilities
Current codes and standards do not address many of the structures found in the petrochemical industry. Therefore, many engineers and companies involved in the industry have independently...

Toward a Healthy Harbor
Once dubbed the filthiest harbor in America, the Boston Harbor is now the model of recovery. The Boston Harbor Project, a court-mandated 12-year, $3.4 billion cleanup, includes a sprawling...

Guidelines for the Design of Double-Layer Grids
Prepared by the Task Committee on Double-Layer Grids of the Committee on Special Structures of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This report...

Structural Design of Closure Structures for Local Flood Protection Projects
Technical Engineering and Design Guides, as adapted from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, No. 21 This guide provides a framework for the structural...

Underwater Magic
Applications of geomembrane systems to arrest concrete deterioration and control leakage in hydraulic structures have been accomplished, with a few exceptions, in a dry environment by...

Waste Not: The Scottsdale Transfer Station (Available only in Structural Engineering Special Issue)
Scottsdale, Ariz., is one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S. In 1980, it had 88,000 residents; in 1997, it had 170,000. By 2020, demographers expect the population to surpass 275,000....

Forensic Engineering
This proceedings contains the papers resented at the First Forensic Engineering Congress, a special part of the American Society of Civil Engineers Annual Convention held in Minneapolis,...

Seismic Analysis and Design for Soil-Pile-Structure Interactions
Pile foundations are used extensively to support structures in seismic regions around the world. For years, geotechnical engineers have neglected to consider the interaction soil-pile...

Manhole Inspection and Rehabilitation
Manhole structures are the principal means of access for collection system maintenance. Effective manhole inspection and rehabilitation are necessary to remove excessive manhole infiltration...

Saving the Bluffs: Engineering at the Edge
Erosion and landslides along the bluffs bordering the Mississippi River in Natchez, Miss. became an emergency situation when the only road to residents below the bluff was cut off from...

Factories for the Information Age
As the demand for computer chips continues to soar, designers of microelectronics manufacturing facilities must keep pace with exacting building requirements. Successful projects require...

? for Roofs (Available only in Structural Engineering special issue)
A roof replacement project at a hospital in Huntsville, TX, has to be compatible with the existing structure to meet insurance requirements and withstand the hot summers. The replacement...

Historic Downtown Dilemma (Available only in Structural Engineering special issue)
Many older commercial masonry buildings built of locally quarried stone or fired brick in downtown areas suffer from roof leaks. Because a studwall cavity often is located between the...

Breaking the Chains of Codification (Available only in Structural Engineering special issue)
Structural engineers should break free of the chains placed on them by national design standards and codes that translate into totally prescriptive design. Good structural engineers perform...

Grand Gusset Failure
In May 1996, structural failure forced the closure of twin 850 ft long arched truss bridges, each carrying two lanes of interstate traffic over the Grand River, 30 mi east of Cleveland....

Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete III
In Irsee, Germany an international conference on composite construction was held from June 9-14, 1996. It provided a forum for researchers and practitioners involved with composite construction...
