Performance Evaluation of Buried Concrete Pipe Considering Soil Pressure and Crack Propagation Using 3D Finite Element Analysis
Author(s) Hoki Ban, Seungjun Roh, and Won-Jun Park Abstract Numerous factors affect the soil pressure distributions around buried pipes, including the shape, size, and stiffness of the pipe, burial depth, and the stiffness of the surrounding soil. Additionally,...
Post Fire Residual Strength of the Wall-Slab Using Siliceous Concrete
Author(s) Su-Hyeon Lee and Byong-Jeong Cho Abstract It is very important to understand the residual performance of a structure for repair, retrofit, and reuse of a building after a fire. In this study, an experiment is conducted on the residual performance of...
Strength and Deformation of Reinforced Concrete Squat Walls with High-Strength Materials
Author(s) Min-Yuan Cheng, Leonardus S. B. Wibowo, Marnie B. Giduquio, and Rémy D. Lequesne Abstract The behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) squat walls constructed with conventional- and high-strength materials was evaluated through tests of 10 wall specimens...
Seismic Performance of Tall Moment Frames with High- Strength Reinforcemen
Author(s) Duy V. To, Drit Sokoli, Wassim M. Ghannoum, and Jack P. Moehle Abstract Seismic performance of tall, reinforced concrete special moment resisting frames with high-strength reinforcement is investigated through laboratory tests and nonlinear dynamic...
Stochasticity on Long-Term Behavior of Steel-/Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Prestressed Girders
Author(s) Yail J. Kim and David Micnhimer Abstract This paper presents the long-term behavior of bridge girders prestressed with steel strands and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons, based on a stochastic process called polynomial chaos expansion...

Author(s) Yao-Rong Dong, Zhao-Dong Xu, Ye-Shou Xu, Sarwar Waseem, and Qiang-Qiang Li Abstract In this paper, the influence of axial load on the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete frame structures is assessed, and the damage of reinforced concrete frame...
Seismically Robust Ultra-High-Performance Fiber- Reinforced Concrete Columns
Author(s) S.-H. Chao, M. Shamshiri, X. Liu, G. Palacios, A. E. Schultz, and A. Nojavan Abstract Ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHP-FRC) has a high compressive strength of 22 to 30 ksi (152 to 210 MPa) and a substantial shear strength as well...
Acoustic Emission Monitoring of Prestressed Girders during Fabrication and Transport
Author(s) Dryver R. Huston, Robert L. Worley II, Mandar M. Dewoolkar, and Mauricio Pereira Abstract Prefabricated and prestressed, reinforced concrete girders used as prefabricated bridge elements and systems (PBES) are common in infrastructure projects....
Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Recycled Coarse Aggregates without Stirrups
Author(s) Woosuk Kim, Thomas H.-K. Kang, Deuckhang Lee, Hajin Choi, and Yoon-Keun Kwak Abstract Given current environmental concerns, attention has been directed toward the use of recycled coarse aggregates (RCAs) as a substitute for natural raw materials...
