Rehabilitation of a Pump/Turbine
Between 1964 and 1968, eight 212 in pump discharge diameter Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton vertical pump/turbines with Westinghouse motor/generators were installed in Philadelphia Electric Company's...
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...
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 Atlantic Palace: Part I Structural System Selection Based on Wind Tunnel Testing
The location of the structure in a coastal area susceptible to high winds, the irregular shape and height of the building and the desire for more accurate wind loading and acceleration...
Postmodern Engineering
Momentum Place is a postmodern skyscraper in Dallas designed by architects John Burgee and Philip Johnson. The Datum-Moore Partnership, structural engineers, designed the structural system...
Long Reinforced Concrete Columns
Papers selected by the Reinforced Concrete Research Council of ASCE. This collection contains 13 papers reporting the results of a series of studies,...
Record High Rise, Record Low Steel
The Bank of China, under construction in Hong Kong, will be the world's fifth tallest building. In spite of the extraordinary codes for that city�high winds, and high live...
Seismic Design of Braced Steel Frames
Seismic behavior of a six-story, K-braced structure without backup ductile moment-resisting frames designed according to the current Uniform Building Code is studied in this paper. The...
Quake Test Crunches Bridge Column
The Restrained Long Concrete Column as a Part of a Rectangular Frame
Investigation Of The Long Concrete Columns In A Frame Subject To Lateral Loads
Importance Of Beam Properties On Concrete Column Behavior
Effect Of Yielding Of Restraints On Slender Concrete Columns With Sidesway Prevented
Behavior Of Concrete Columns Under Controlled Lateral Deformation
Mixing Steel and Concrete
For highrise structures, mixed steel-concrete systems are more efficient and cost less than either material alone. The two design approaches are exterior tube structures and core braced...
Strength of Composite Beams under Seismic Loading
Effective width of a concrete slab of a composite beam is specified in various specifications, but their theoretical backgrounds are obscure. Originally, they must have been specified...
Mixed Systems: Past Practices, Recent Experience, and Future Direction
A comparison is made between composite column capacities derived from the authors procedure utilizing the ACI (America Concrete Institute) code requirements, and previously published semi-empirical...
Recent Research on Composite Structures for Building and Bridge Applications
Continuing research has been carried out at Lehigh University on composite structural members, joints, and overall systems. This paper summarizes the results of research on four selected...
SRC Elevated Station Structures for New Bullet Trains
SRC Steelframe reinforced concrete structures were utilized on several station buildings for the Japanese National Railways bullet trains. This paper presents an outline of the dimensions...
Recent Developments in Mixed Steel-Concrete Systems
Mixed steel-concrete systems have emerged into a well established new system that can be used as readily as either steel or concrete systems for high-rise buildings. Mixed systems offer...
