Lateral Impedance of Contact Pile Foundations
The static and dynamic lateral impedance of pile foundations for which there is continuous contact between the bottom of the pilecap and the underlying soil is investigated. A parametric...

Risk Assessment for Cladding Panels: An Expert Systems Approach
Risk assessment for structures in the context of wind engineering involves many factors such as wind hazard, the wind sensitivity of the structure and the socio-economic value of the structure....

The Risk of Progressive Collapse of Single-Story Buildings in Severe Storms
The probability of severe damage and progressive collapse of single-story commercial, institutional and residential buildings is examined. Observations of actual damage and the results...

Assessment & Control of Wind Created Risk During Construction
Structures under construction have been damaged by winds. The damaging winds, typically, are much lower than the design wind loads for completed structures. Little guidance is available...

Full-Scale On-Site Wind Induced Data From a Tall Building
Under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation (NSF), a large amount of data accumulated in a study of the behavior of a tall building under the influence of winds will be made...

Prediction and Measurement of Wind Response: Case Story of a Wind Sensitive Building
The wind-induced horizontal accelerations of a 43 story office tower in New York City were monitored during 11 occasions over a period of about six months. The building dates back to the...

Wind Forces Measured on a Tall R.C. Chimney
This paper describes some aspects of an analysis performed on measurements of a variety of parameters relating to the wind, wind forces on and the response of a tall chimney. The results...

Time Domain Structural Parameters Identification
Identification techniques for linear lumped-parameters models of vibrating structures are critically assessed using data produced by numerical simulations. The structural model is excited...

Anchorage Forces for Z-Purlin Supported Standing Seam Roof Systems
This paper presents the results of a limited study to determine if the provisions of Section D. 3. 2. 1 'Anchorage Bracing for Roof Systems Under Load with Top Flange Connected...

Comparison of the Third and Fourth Edition of the Guide: What is New and Different
The fourth edition of the 'Guide to Stability Design Criteria for Metal Structures' is a unique collection of ideas and information on stability problems. It...

Beam-Columns
The Fourth Edition of the SSRC Guide presents a state-of-the-art information on beam-columns for use by specification writers, researchers, and designers. The present paper is an extremely...

Circular Tubes and Shells 4th Edition of SSRC Guide
The 3rd edition of the Guide was the first to have a chapter devoted to Cylindrical Tubes and Shells. Chapter 14 in the 4th edition is a major revision of Chapter 10 in the previous edition....

Cumulative Damage of Structures
Structural response records may be analyzed to estimate relative motions of civil engineering structures. Several methods are available for the estimation of cumulative damage on the basis...

Modeling Errors in Fatigue Crack Growth Laws
Using the fracture mechanics approach to fatigue it is possible to update estimates of a structure's reliability against fatigue failure given new information on the state...

Substitute Wind Concept for Elastic Stability of Cooling Tower Shells
The influence of the nonaxisymmetric wind distribution on the stability behavior of cooling tower shells is examined. It is demonstrated, considering about 50 cooling tower shells, that...

Application of a Hybrid Strategy for Structural System Reliability Analysis
The authors have attempted to explain a strategy for structural systems reliability calculations. In essence, it involves the use of different methods at appropriate times in the search...

Reinforced Concrete Column Reliability
A method is proposed whereby the reliability is obtained using the stable configuration approach of structural system reliability. The configurations are defined based on imposed strains...

Reliability of Structural Systems With Multiple Limit States
The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic treatment of the reliability of structural systems with multiple limit states. Several performance criteria (e. g. , excessive deflection,...

Geotechnical Practice for Waste Disposal '87
This volume contains 55 papers covering many aspects of geotechnical issues associated with waste disposal. The papers represent advances during the intervening decade since the first...

Environmental Engineering
The American Society of Civil Engineers annually sponsors a Specialty Conference on Environmental Engineering. The 1987 Conference was held in Orlando, Florida on July 7-9, 1987 with cooperation...
