Behaviour of Confined Rubberised Concrete Members Under Combined Loading Conditions
Author(s) Dan V Bompa Ahmed Y Elghazouli Abstract This paper presents an experimental study into the fundamental response of reinforced concrete members, which incorporate rubber particles obtained from recycled tyres, subjected to combined axial–bending...
Classification of Soft-Story Buildings Using Deep Learning with Density Features Extracted from 3D Point Clouds
Author(s) Peng-Yu Chen, S.M.ASCE; Zheng Yi Wu, M.ASCE; and Ertugrul Taciroglu, M.ASCE Abstract Soft-story buildings are seismically vulnerable during earthquakes. The identification of such buildings is vital in seismic risk mitigation to assess the seismic...
Diversity in Renovation Design: Theoretical Foundations of the Renovation Domain Model
Author(s) Carl Schultz and Aliakbar Kamari Abstract Sustainable building renovation design is a highly challenging and ever more pressing issue in the construction sector. Through rounds of dialogue and negotiation, architects along with diverse sets of...
Laboratory Investigation of the Structural Performance of a Corrugated Steel Culvert under Increasing Cover Depth
Aouthor(s) Van Thien Mai, Ph.D.; Ian D. Moore, Ph.D., P.Eng., M.ASCE; and Neil A. Hoult, Ph.D., P.Eng., M.ASCE Abstract The performance of large diameter corrugated steel culverts/pipes under varying cover depth up to deep burial has previously not been...
Numerical Analysis on Shear Behavior of Grouped Head Stud Shear Connectors between Steel Girders and Precast Concrete Slabs with High-Strength Concrete-Filled Shear Pockets
Author(s) Shaodi Wang; Zhuangcheng Fang; Gongfa Chen; Haibo Jiang Abstract This study numerically investigated the shear behavior of novel composite shear connectors, which consisted of grouped head studs embedded in high-strength concrete-filled (HSC-filled)...
Concept and Preliminary Static Analysis of Hybrid Anchored Suspension Bridge
Author(s) Dongli Zhuang; Rucheng Xiao, Ph.D.; Bin Sun, Ph.D.; and Le Yang Abstract Inspired by the structural system and the construction technique of self-anchored suspension bridges and earth-anchored suspension bridges, a new type of suspension bridge, named...
Quasi-Full-Scale Experimental Study on Bridge Precast Concrete Columns under Static Loading
Author(s) Jiaqi Wang, Yin Shen, Guoping Li, Ming Chen Abstract Precast concrete columns have been widely used in bridge constructions. Most studies regarding precast columns focused on seismic instead of static behaviors. To investigate the cracking mechanism...
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...
