Concrete Pavement Rehabilitation Research Findings
A study to improve the procedures for evaluating and rehabilitating concrete pavements was undertaken in 1985. Field and analytical studies have facilitated a new knowledge and understanding...
Preliminary Dynamic Analyses of the Ministry of Agriculture Building
The Ministry of Agriculture building on Avenida San Antonio Abad was originally constructed as a 17 story reinforced concrete structure using a waffle slab system with interior reinforced...
R/C Frame Drift for 1985 Mexico Earthquake
This paper contains the results of a parametric study of the displacement response of multi-story reinforced concrete frames. Nonlinear lateral displacement responses were calculated for...
Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Framing Systems
On September 19, 1985, Mexico City was hit by what is believed to have been the most damaging earthquake in its recorded history. In this report, a ground motion recorded in the severely...
Repairing and Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Damaged in the 1985 Mexico City Earthquake
This paper describes briefly the criteria and techniques used for the repairing and strengthening of reinforced concrete buildings damaged in Mexico City during the 1985 earthquakes. It...
Bentonite Matting in Composite Lining Systems
The 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments to RCRA mandated that double lining systems utilizing synthetic membrane liners be required for hazardous waste landfills. Recognizing the...
Guide for the Design and Use of Concrete Poles
Prepared by the Concrete Pole Task Committee of the Committee on Electrical Transmission Structures of the Structural Division of ASCE. This guide presents...
Rehabilitation of the SF Calawah River Bridge
The failure of a 4-span reinforced concrete bridge in Washington State initiated a study that ultimately led to a unique method of bridge rehabilitation. Severe scour resulted in settlement...
Dynamic Behavior of R/C Buildings in Vi? del Mar, Chile
The Chilean earthquake of 3 March 1985 resulted in an effective peak acceleration of 0. 36g in the coastal city of Vina del Mar. The city had an inventory of over 400 reinforced concrete...
Wind Forces Measured on a Tall R.C. Chimney
This paper describes some aspects of an analysis performed on measurements of a variety of parameters relating to the wind, wind forces on and the response of a tall chimney. The results...
Behavior and Design of Semi-Rigid Composite Frames
Recent advances and experimental research on the behavior of composite semi-rigid frames indicates that substantial savings can be achieved with this method of construction. The current...
Fatigue Strength of Welded Wire Fabric
Long life fatigue tests were made on 12 concrete slabs reinforced with large diameter, Grade 75, deformed welded wire fabric. The specimens simulated, to full scale, conditions in a bare...
Base Isolation for Reinforced Concrete Structures
A recent experimental program has been carried out at the Earthquake Simulator Laboratory of the Earthquake Engineering Research Center in which a 1/5th scale reinforced concrete structural...
Thin Precast Fiber Reinforced Cement Panels
This paper provides an overview of some current applications, manufacturing methods, and physical properties of thin fiber reinforced cement board products currently produced. Many of...
Polymer Concrete for Structural Applications
Polymer concrete (PC) has been used extensively in the United States primarily as a repair material for portland cement concrete. The excellent flexural and compressive strength durability...
Concrete Shell Design for Membrane Stress
A methodology is presented which covers the design of reinforced concrete shells for membrane stress. The methodology follows the strength design method of the ACI 318-83 Building Code...
Large Reinforced Concrete Active Reclaim Silos
The design and construction of large reinforced concrete shell silos used to provide economical short-term protected storage for coal and lignite in the active reclaim systems of power...
Ultimate Membrane Strength of R/C Shell Elements
The ultimate strength of reinforced concrete shell elements is governed by the yielding of steel and/or the compressive strength of concrete. Depending on which of these two conditions...
The Ultimate Load Design Method of R/C and P/C Shell
Based on the testing results of 20 full size shells and models, the ultimate load analysis method is proposed to design four different kinds of reinforced concrete shallow shell structures....
Reinforced Concrete Column Reliability
A method is proposed whereby the reliability is obtained using the stable configuration approach of structural system reliability. The configurations are defined based on imposed strains...
