Time-Dependent Behavior
This paper is a report of the material presented at the International Workshop on Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete, Session 4 - Time Dependent Behavior, held at Columbia...
Computational Aspects
In the past, two distinctly different approaches - smeared and discrete failure models have been adopted to describe failure mechanisms in plain and reinforced concrete structures. Although...
Specific Applications
In recent years, practicing engineers have begun to use nonlinear finite element methods to design and evaluate increasingly complex concrete structures. This chapter presents several...
Composite Materials as Concrete Reinforcement in the Next Decade
Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are researched for possible implementation in the construction industry. A number of factors affect the widespread use of FRP composites in the civil engineering...
21st Century Composites Require ASCE Standards and SDS
This paper describes the ASCE initiative and discusses the philosophy and needs for the structural design system (SDS) of which the standards will be a part. Our perspective is from the...

The Optimum Gravity Dam
A method is presented for optimizing the cost of a dam by varying the properties of the material and the shape of the dam to produce the lowest cost water barrier to perform the required...
RCC for Rehabilitation of Dams in the USA-An Overview
The use of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) has rapidly become a powerful new tool in the USA for engineers involved with the rehabilitation of existing dams. Starting in 1980, RCC has...
Design and Proposed Construction Techniques for Pangue Dam
The paper describes the site conditions, design and proposed construction methods for the 115 m high Pangue Dam, Chile's first RCC dam. Trial mix design work and test embankments...
The Construction of New Victoria Dam, Australia
The paper discusses various aspects of the construction of the New Victoria Dam, a 52 m high, high-paste content RCC dam constructed near Perth, Western Australia. The mix design and its...
