Flexural Behavior of Synthetic Fiber Reinforced Rapid Set Materials
This paper presents the results of a laboratory investigation on the contribution of synthetic fibers to the flexural behavior for three typical rapid set materials. Three types of synthetic...
Evaluation of High Strength Concrete by the Break-Off Method
The reliability of the Break-Off method to test inplace high-strength concrete is investigated. A total of 188 Break-Off tests and 30 standard cylinder tests are carried out for this project....
Lime-Fly Ash-Aggregate Base and Subbase Courses
This paper describes the use of lime-fly ash-aggregate (LFA) base and subbase courses for highway pavements. This type pavement course is considered as an alternate to cement treated bases...
Localization Instabilities Due to Damage and Fracture Propagation: Application to Tensile Specimens
In recent research it has become clear that localization of damage due to strain softening as well as propagation of interactive cracks can result in bifurcations of the loading path characterized...
Compressive Strengths of Lean Concretes Containing Fly Ash
The compressive strength development of lean concretes containing fly ash was evaluated. Concretes were prepared at total cementitious materials contents of 423, 517, and 564 lb/yd3...
Bibliography of Steel Columns
This book, which was prepared by the Committee on Compression Members of the Structural Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers, attempts to provide a complete bibliography...
Stratified Flows
This volume contains the edited and refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Stratified Flows, convened on February 3-5, 1987 in Pasadena, California. It consists of...
Building Blocks for the Future
In the near term, advanced, conventional materials�namely higher-strength steel and concrete�will dominate infrastructure rehab. New steels of higher strengths and toughness are increasingly...
Form Follows Geometry
The $107 million NCNB Plaza in Tamps, Fla. consists of a 32 floor, 500,000 sq ft, 455 ft tall office tower; a 40,000 sq ft, 78 ft tall banking hall, and a 280,000 sq ft parking garage...
Progress in Hydromechanics
The historical development of hydromechanics in the fifty years since the founding of the Hydraulics Division is reviewed. Rouse's 1938 text, Fluid Mechanics for Hydraulic Engineers, provided...
Repair and Rehabilitation of Damaged Steel Flexural Members
In earlier years, the primary method for repairing steel flexural members was to replace the member. However, with the cost of labor and material increasing dramatically over the last...
Buckling Design of Vierendeel Reticular Shells
Double layer reticular shell structures carry very little transverse shear, thus, it may be appropriate to substitute the inter-layer diagonal members with 'space'...
Local Buckling Behavior of Plate Elements
In the elastic post-local buckling range, the stress distribution across the width of compression elements of light gauge steel shapes is nonlinear. For code implementations, these stress...
Behavior of Cold-Formed Steel-Concrete Composite Beams
An experimental investigation was conducted at California State University - Long Beach to study the structural behavior of composite beams made of thin-walled cold-formed steel stiffened...
Strength of Biaxially Crooked Jumbo Columns
The ultimate strength of axially loaded jumbo columns with biaxial initial out-of-straightnesses is analyzed by the finite element method. The analysis makes use of the measured residual...
Analysis of the Non-Planar Response of a Cantilever, with the Aid of Computerized Symbolic Manipulation
The nonlinear differential equations governing the static deformations of a cantilever with a tip mass are formulated and analyzed with the aid of computerized symbolic manipulation. The...
Stress Computations for Nearly Incompressible Materials
Computation of stresses by the finite element method (FEM) in the case of nearly incompressible isotropic elastic materials is discussed. It is shown that for moderately high Poisson's...
High Strength Concrete: Proportioning, Behavior and Applications
Generally, concrete with a cylinder compressive strength higher than 6000 psi (41.4 MPa) is designated as high strength concrete. High strengths are achieved using stronger coarse aggregates,...
Polymer Concretes
Polymer Concrete (PC) is prepared by using polymeric materials to bond inert aggregates in a fashion similar to that of Portland Cement in the preparation of Portland Cement Concrete (PCC)....
Fast Track Paving May Offer Applications to Structures
'Fast Track' is a technique that permits portland cement concrete pavements to be opened to traffic in a day or less after they are poured. The method has been...
