Creep Analysis of Composite Steel-Concrete Members with Deformable Connectors
The long-term analysis of composite steel-concrete beams with elastically deformable connectors is presented. The basic integro-differential equation governing the problem is solved by...
Time-Dependent Load-Distribution Behavior of Parallel-Member Wood Systems
The effect of differential member creep on the load-distribution behavior of parallel-member wood systems is examined. Variability in the creep response of the individual component members...
The Slender Tower of 52-54 East End Avenue
The structural system for the 52-54 East End Avenue project is presented. The 40 story residential tower with as aspect ratio of 12: 1 is one of the most slender buildings constructed...
Prediction of Cladding Life in Waste Package Environments
Mechanistic Model of the Creep-Rupture Process in Filamentary Composites
Creep and Shrinkage of Composite Columns in Tall Buildings
The simultaneous presence of steel and composite columns in tall buildings is a common occurrence. The axial shortening characteristics of composite columns are influenced by creep and...
Testing and Evaluation of High Capacity, Multi-Strand Rock Anchors for Lake Lynn Dam
Seventy five rock anchors with design loads of 556 to 2040 kips were required for the 1000-foot long, 125-foot high, concrete gravity, Lake Lynn Dam to comply with current FERC engineering...
Effects of Creep in Cable-Stayed Composite Bridges
The paper summarizes the various ways in which creep in the concrete slab may affect the stresses in a cable-stayed composite bridge. It explains one effect in particular which is not...
Plastic Waste for Low-Weight Embankments
Numerical Integration of Transient Creep Constitutive Equations for Polycrystalline Ice
A numerical time integration algorithm is developed to solved the system of coupled, first-order differential equations characterizing the physically-based constitutive model of Shyam...
Mechanism of a Landslide Caused by Rainfall
Serviceability Analysis of Wood Beams with Creep
The effect of creep deformations on the serviceability reliability of single, dimension lumber wood beams is examined. A viscoelastic stress-strain relationship is used to model the time-dependent...
Creep and Recovery of a Pultruded FRP Frame
Nonlinearities and Imperfections in Creep Stability
The effects of material and geometric nonlinearities and imperfections on the 'safe-load-limit' and the 'safe-service-period' of structures...
A Second Order Analysis Technique for Nonprismatic Bridge Piers
An approximate second order method is presented for the analysis and design of cantilever compression members. Prismatic members with nonconstant reinforcement, and nonprismatic members...
