Nonlinear analysis of flat post‐tensioned concrete slab–edge column connections

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents nonlinear finite element analyses to investigate the punching shear behavior of unbonded post‐tensioned concrete flat slabs at slab‐edge column connections. A parametric analysis was conducted to evaluate the influence of four critical parameters on the punching shear resistance: the distribution of prestressing tendons ...

Seismic vulnerability analysis of steel buildings in Bogotá, Colombia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A number of mid-height steel buildings have been erected recently in Bogotá. Their seismic risk might be high, given the new microzonation of Bogotá and the lack of previous studies; remarkably, the response reduction factors were commonly obtained from ...

Evaluation of prestress losses in concrete beams using destructive and non‐destructive methods

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, prestressing techniques have become essential in the construction of key structures, infrastructure, and bridges. The serviceability and safety of prestressed concrete (PC) elements are closely tied to the effectiveness of the prestressing process.

Performance of 18-Story Steel Momentframe Buildings during a large San Andreas Earthquake - A Southern California-Wide End-to-End Simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The mitigation of seismic risk in urban areas in the United States and abroad is of major concern for all governments. Unfortunately no comprehensive studies have attempted to address this issue in a rigorous, quantitative manner.

Experimental investigation on post‐installed anchorages with cast‐in anchor reinforcement under tension loading

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Anchors are used to connect different structural and non‐structural components to reinforced concrete structures. Anchorages when subjected to tension loading might fail in different failure modes, with concrete cone breakout (CCB) being one of the most common.

Charney Hall Redesign Using Cross-Laminated Timber [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Santa Clara University’s new law building, Charney Hall, was constructed in 2018 using steel and concrete, but was redesigned by this team using Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glue- Laminated Timber (glulams).

Large‐scale tests of 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete bridge girders

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract An experimental investigation has been carried out as part of the BRIDGE|50 research project, focusing on large‐scale loading tests performed on five 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete (PC) girders. The study aimed at evaluating the structural response of five girders retrieved from a viaduct in the urban area of Turin, Italy, subjected to 4 ...

Seismic capacity evaluation of post-tensioned concrete slab-column frame buildings by pushover analysis [PDF]

open access: yesSongklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2006
Seismic capacity evaluation of post-tensioned concrete slab-column frame buildings designed only for gravity loads and wind load is presented. The series of nonlinear pushover analyses are carried out by using the computer program SAP2000.

Simultaneous Chandra and RXTE Spectroscopy of the Microquasar H~1743-322: Clues to Disk Wind and Jet Formation from a Variable Ionized Outflow

open access: yes, 2004
We observed the bright phase of the 2003 outburst of the Galactic black hole candidate H 1743-322 in X-rays simultaneously with Chandra and RXTE on four occasions.

Moment‐curvature behavior of continuous reinforced concrete slab strips—Experimental determination and modeling

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract With the market introduction of new reinforcing materials, such as corrosion‐resistant steel, the effect of their stress–strain relationship on the ductility of reinforced concrete structures needs to be evaluated. Their moment‐curvature behavior significantly influences bending moment redistributions, rotation capacity, and deformation at ...
