Late Stage Damage in G30-500/PMR-15 Laminates
Damage progression has been studied experimentally under tension using [0₂/90₆]_s...

Thermal Cycling of Thin and Thick Ply Composites
An experimental study was conducted to determine the effects of ply thickness in composite laminates on thermally induced cracking and changes in the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE)....

Development, Testing and Modeling of Ceramic Composites for Lunar Applications
The procedure referred to as thermal liquefaction allows production of Intermediate Ceramic Composites (ICC) from lunar simulants with various admixtures. For their use as structural materials...

An Inflatable Antenna for Space-Based Low-Frequency Radio Astronomy
Antennas for a low-frequency orbiting radio telescope must have minimal problems in deployment, a directional beam, and a wide-angle scanning capability. Inflatable antennas with deposited...

An Ultra-Lightweight Advanced Technology Telescope for Space Applications
We propose a new type of telescope designed specifically for space and lunar applications. The optical reflecting surfaces of the telescope are made by replication onto thin ultra-lightweight...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

Behavior of RC Beams under Sustained Load
Experimental results of eight reinforced concrete beams under 3-month's sustained load, with the ratio of shear span to depth equal to 2.5, are reported. It is shown by tests that the...

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...

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...

Local Buckling of Pultruded FRP Beams: Theory and Experiment
A continuing experimental and theoretical investigation of the local compression flange buckling of commercially produced pultruded fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) beams is briefly described...

Moment-Rotation Behavior of Pultruded Beam-to-Column Connections
Presented are experimental details and results of five tests carried out to study the moment-rotation behavior of flange cleated connections for frames of pultruded members. The full-sized...

High-Strength Concrete Columns: State of the Knowledge
This paper consists of reported information divided into two general categories, performance of High-Strength Concrete (HSC) columns under concentric loads, and combined axial and bending...

Continuity in Precast Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
An experimental study conducted to evaluate the behavior of pretensioned bridge members made continuous with a cast-in-place concrete slab and diaphragm is summarized. In this study, the...

Response of Stressed Timber T - and Box-Beam Bridges
The objective of this study is to establish the strength, stiffness, and transverse load distribution factors of stressed timber T-, Bulk T-, and Box-beam bridge systems. To achieve the...
