U.S. / Japan Large Scale Cooperative Research Program for Steel Structures
The US/Japan Cooperative Research Program Utilizing Large Scale Test Facilities for Earthquake Resistant Design was initiated in 1980 using a combination of full-scale, small-scale, subassemblage...

Corrosion Resistant Epoxy-Coated Reinforcing Steel
Research conducted in the 1970s to evaluate and develop criteria for nonmetallic coatings to protect steel reinforcing bars embedded in concrete bridge decks from the corrosive action...

Representation and Processing of Design Standards: a Bifurcation between Research and Practice
There have been attempts to develop representations of design standards and procedures for computing representations of the design standard on which computations are based. However, within...

Impediments to the Implementation of Seismic Isolation
There are over 400 civil engineering structures, worldwide, that have been constructed using the principles of seismic isolation, and 70 of these are in the United States. Although use...

First Bank Place: A Composite Cruciform Spine
The First Bank Place, designed by the internationally known architectural firm of Pei Cobb Freed and Partners, is a granite-clad, 56 stories tall building in downtown Minneapolis. Presented...

Composite Walls as Shear Elements in Tall Structures
This paper describes a system of composite walling that can be used as a lateral load resisting system in tall structures. The composite walling comprises two skins of profiled steel sheeting...

Application of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Columns in Tall Buildings in Earthquake Area
In this paper an outline is given of the background, the design concept, structural features, construction and economy of the concrete-filled steel tubular coumns of tall buildings in...

Lateral Bracing Criteria of the Composite Braces
In order to simplify the hysteretic characteristics of diagonal steel braces, a lateral bracing problem of unbonded braces embedded in the concrete panel is treated here. Lateral bracing...

Recent Developments in Seismic Response of Composite Structures
Lack of sufficient data has limited a wider application of structures using mixed steel-concrete construction in seismically active regions. This paper summarizes some recent studies at...

One Peachtree Center: Atlanta Georgia
Presented in this paper are the architectural and structural concepts of One Peachtree Center built in the city of Atlanta. This 62-story tall building has changed the downtown skyline...

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...

Marta North Line Midtown Station
This paper presents a case study of a cast-in-place concrete rapid transit station structure. Attention is focused on the performance of the monolithically connected, three-dimensional...

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...

Comprehensive Reliability Analysis of Prestressed Concrete Beams
Using second moment methods, the reliability with respect to several limit states for seventy three prestressed concrete beams is assessed. These beams that are extensively used in the...

Human Error Models for Structural Reliability
This paper presents models for human errors to be used along with reliability analyses. The models account for the occurrence of errors, their magnitude, and the detection of the errors....

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...

Qualification System for Building Engineers in Korea
This paper introduces and discusses the qualification system for professional engineers in Korea which was first established thirty years ago under the Professional Engineers Act. This...

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...

Strut-Tie Model Design of Disturbed Regions in Concrete Structures
The design of disturbed (highly non-linear behavior) regions in concrete structures is illustrated using strut-tie approach. The use of this approach assisted with interactive computer...

Impulsive Punching of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Slabs
The behavior of FRC slabs reinforced with polymeric fibers (polyacrylonitrile fibers PAN) and subjected to impulsive punching is analyzed here in order to clarify to what extent the fibers...
