One Ninety One Peachtree and NationsBank: Composite Additions to the Atlanta Skyline
The structural design of two composite buildings in Atlanta is described in this paper. A composite exterior partial tube was used in one case and a composite super-column system was utilized...

Talmadge Bridge Replacement
This paper discusses the design of the main spans and approach spans for the replacement of the Talmadge Bridge for the Georgia Department of Transportation. The design of the concrete...

Making an Olympic Stadium and a Baseball Park
A new dual-purpose stadium which reflects not only the classical origins of the Olympic Games, but also the tradition of baseball, is the architectural centerpiece for the 1996 Centennial...

Qualification System for Building Engineers in Japan
Recently, it has become common for structural engineers to provide consulting services beyond their countries. Thus it is important that they become fully acquainted with the working conditions...

Steel Compression Member Design in the 1994 Canadian Standard
The 1994 edition of CSA Standard S 16.1-M94, Limit states design of steel structures (CSA 1994) contains explicit methods for computing the compressive resistance of monosymmetric and...

Overweight Trucks and Safety of Bridges
Most states face increasing pressure to issue more and heavier overweight truck permits. Current permit checking methods of many states adopt the AASHTO rating concept with or without...

Towards Structural Strength and Safety Evaluation Within Bridge Management Systems
Bridge management systems being implemented by transportation departments in the United States are limited in their ability to consider structural strength and safety when preparing recommendations...

Historical Considerations for New Jersey Viaduct
An Historical Bridge Alternatives Analysis report prepared for New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) for Route 1&9 S.B. viaduct in Newark, New Jersey evaluated the options...

A Multimedia Learning Environment for Statics
A multimedia learning environment (MLE) is being developed in the area of statics within the framework of SUCCEED's Curriculum 21. An overview is presented which includes: discussions...

Multimedia Technology and Structural Steel Design
A project is underway at The Pennsylvania State University to produce Steel Design Educational Module (SteelDEM) software. This intelligent tutor and teaching aid utilizes the state-of-the-art...

A New Laboratory for Teaching Structural Engineering
A new, practical, computer-assisted laboratory, 'AN/EX,' has been developed for teaching structural engineering. Specifically, AN/EX has been developed to encourage cross-verification...

Lateral Buckling: A Comparison of AISC-LRFD and Eurocode 3
The nominal moment capacity of laterally unsupported, doubly-symmetric, steel I-beams are computed and compared using the AISC-LRFD and EC 3 design recommendations. A review of the EC...

Innovative Design of Steel Gable Frames
Common wisdom holds that conventionally designed gable frames fabricated from rolled sections cannot compete with metal building system frames fabricated from plate and bar stock, from...

Local Web Crippling of Unstiffened Multi-Cell Box Sections
Full-scale experiments and analyses show that the AISC/LRFD design equations for web yielding and web crippling strength of unstiffened webs, developed from test data on I sections, can...

Seismic Response Studies on a Two Span Slab-On-Girder Bridge
A new type of self-equilibrating snap-back (quick-release) test setup is employed to investigate the transverse dynamic response of a two-span continuous slab-on-girder highway bridge....

Seismic Performance of Railway Bridges
Historically, the seismic performance of railway bridges in the U.S.A. has been very satisfactory during earthquakes of this century. There are many possible factors contributing to this...

Seismic Research Program for Highway Construction
This paper provides an overview of the highway research program being conducted by the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (NCEER). This six-year program, which is sponsored...

Seismic Study of Historic Bridges in Eastern United States
The main objective of this paper is to study the Barrackville bridge and its response in resisting static and seismic loads. Since the design was based on controlled deflections, the analyses...

SemiActive Structural Control: A Low Cost Fix for An Infrastructure at Risk
There is increasing societal pressure on the engineering profession to develop cost effective methods to extend the service life of the civil infrastructure. While the degradation of the...

Progress in Reinforced Concrete Column Design: An Introduction
The Joint ASCE-ACI Committee 441 on Reinforced Concrete Columns is investigating a number of problems related to structural behavior and design of reinforced concrete columns. This paper...
