Spring Stiffness for Beam-Column Analysis of Soil-Structure Interaction Problems
The objective is to provide a simple means of analytically combining a two-dimensional foundation with a beam-column structure so that the procedure can be used for preliminary design...

Response of Eccentrically Braced Tall Buildings
The inelastic dynamic response aspects of tall steel buildings with eccentric K-bracing and eccentric X-bracing systems are examined, when subjected to factored El-Centro and computer...

Experience With Workstation-Based Design of Steel Structures
An example is presented of an interactive graphical structural analysis and design system suitable for individual-user workstations. The experience of a corporate engineering services...

Interactive Computer Graphic Seismic Design of Frames
An interactive computer graphics approach for earthquake resistant design of two and three-dimensional steel frames is presented. Analysis and design are possible from code-related equivalent...

How To Design Highway Retaining Walls?A Practical Application of CADD
The recent work developed at the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR) including optimization algorithms and two computer programs, ODSEWS-2D-II and ODRESB-3D are discussed. Several numerical...

A Problem Oriented Courseware Interface
A program has been created in an attempt to utilize the benefits of the microcomputer in assisting the learning process without invoking the attendance 'black-box'...

Interactive Structural Analysis and Steel Design on the Macintosh
A program has been written for the analysis of two-dimensional structures for the Macintosh personal computer using the Microsoft Basic language. The program takes advantage of the special...

Practical Modeling of Bar Slippage in R/C Joints
A procedure based on the displacement method of analysis has been developed for analyzing the behavior of beam reinforcement crossing the interior beam-column connections under seismic...

The Mexican Earthquake: A Firsthand Report
The Mexican earthquake of September 19, 1985 was most peculiar, because of the combination of its intensity, regularity, and duration. No other earthquake has had an intensity of IX, at...

Tiedback Walls Untie Intersection
The intersection of Gallows Rd. and Arlington Blvd. in Virginia's Fairfax County required separation. Tiedback retaining walls, which required only 18 in. instead of the 18-22...

Spanning Urban Obstacles
Extension of Pittsburgh's Crosstown Expressway is a � mile portion of a massive $500 million urban highway now under construction. The extension is a complex of five roadways...

Scenic Squeeze
Constructing a four-lane dual highway through the 12 miles of Colorado's Glenwood Canyon involves several engineering innovations: cantilevered roadways, unusual retaining...

Demands for Innovation in Power Construction
This paper identifies some specific demands for innovation on power projects, reviews the alternatives considered to meet project objectives, and describes the resulting innovations. Examples...

Attaching Steel Members to Reinforced Concrete Elements
A variety of structural systems have been devised to strengthen existing buildings for improved seismic resistance. Strengthening methods currently in use for reinforced concrete structures...

Seismic Tests of Friction Damped Steel Frames
This paper presents the results obtained from qualification tests of a new friction damping system, which has been proposed in order to improve the response of Moment Resisting Frames...

Hysteretic Behavior of Composite Diaphragms
Floor systems constructed with steel-deck-reinforced concrete are described. When used to resist lateral loads these systems are referred to as diaphragms. A description of a test arrangement,...

Cyclic Energy Absorption by Reinforced Concrete
Results are presented on the basis of experiments conducted on conventional and steel fibrous reinforced concrete beams. The effects of the amount and nature of steel reinforcement and...

Building Records from 1984 Morgan Hill Earthquake
The dynamic response of 23 structures instrumented by the California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program was recorded during the magnitude 6. 2 (ML) Morgan Hill earthquake of 24 April...

Seismic Behavior of a Full-Scale K-Braced Steel Frame?Part I Gross Behavior
As a part of the U. S. -Japan Cooperative Research Program Utilizing Large-Scale Testing Facilities, a six-story, 2 by 2 bay, concentrically K-braced steel building was constructed in...

Seismic Behavior of a Full-Scale K-Braced Steel Frame?Part II Local Behavior
The full-scale six-story concentrically K-braced steel building was subjected to Miyagi-Ken-Oki simulated earthquake whose peak intensity was 500gal. Local behavior of the test building...
