High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement-Based Composites
Fracture of cement-based composites reinforced by the relative high fiber volume is studied. Crack propagation and damage distribution were examined by laser holographic interferometry....

Material Properties Related to Pavement Performance
As part of the Strategic Highway Research Program, an effort has been made to review research literature which can be used to relate asphalt properties to pavement performance. This report...

Beam-To-Column Connections for Pultruded FRP Structures
Moment-rotation and strength characteristics of beam-to-column bolted connections of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) pultruded wide-flange structural shapes are discussed. Results of experimental...

Displacement Measurement by Laser Interferometry and Image Analysis
Laser holographic interferometry was used for the evaluation of displacement fields on concrete and fiber reinforced concrete specimens. Transmission holography was used to analyze mortar...

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...

Neural Network Approaches in Structural Mechanics Computations
The neural computing paradigm has not been extensively researched in terms of its applicability to a wide variety of structural engineering problems. At an intellectual level this research...

A Study of the Precision of Optimum Design Using Suboptimization
As the scale of structures becomes larger and their configuration become more complicated, the design variables and constraint conditions increase, and numerical calculation of the optimum...

Two-Level Optimization of Nonlinear Structures
This paper presents several optimization design problems and their applications to both cable structures and geometrically nonlinear braced-rib arches. The sum of squares of residuals...

Experience with the p-Version Program PROBE
The conventional approach in the FEM is known as the h-version, in which the solution accuracy depends on the size h of elements. The alternative approach is the p-version, in which the...
