Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Corrosion Damaged Stirrups for Shear Capacity

Unknown author (Taylor & Francis, 2012)

Corrosion of embedded carbon steel is a leading factor in deterioration of aging conventional reinforced concrete structures. Methods to accurately predict remaining capacity of corrosion damaged elements, especially she ...
Assessment of Sign Retroreflectivity Compliance for the Development of a Management Plan

Evans, Travis; Heaslip, Kevin; Boggs, Wesley; Hurwitz, David; Gardiner, Kevin (Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, 2012-10-12)

The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) specifies minimum retroreflectivity requirements that include an obligation for agencies to develop a strategy for maintaining compliance. States were given a deadl ...
Effect of Plan Configuration on Seismic Performance of Single-Story, Wood-Frame Dwellings

Lucksiri, Kraisorn; Miller, Thomas H.; Gupta, Rakesh; Pei, Shiling; van de Lindt, John W. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012-02)

A numerical investigation is presented on effects of plan configuration on seismic responses of single-story, wood-frame dwellings. 151 models were developed using observations of 412 dwellings of rectangular, L, T, U, a ...
Effects of Ground Failure on Bridges, Roads, and Railroads

Ledezma, Christian; Hutchinson, Tara; Ashford, Scott A.; Moss, Robb; Arduino, Pedro; Bray, Jonathan D.; Olson, Scott; Hashash, Youssef M. A.; Verdugo, Ramon; Frost, David; Kayen, Robert; Rollins, Kyle (Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, 2012-06)

The long duration and strong velocity content of the motions produced by the 27 February 2010 Maule earthquake resulted in widespread liquefaction and lateral spreading in several urban and other regions of Chile. In par ...
Experimental Performance of Concrete Columns with Composite Jackets under Blast Loading

Rodriguez-Nikl, Tonatiuh; Lee, Chung-Sheng; Hegemier, Gilbert A.; Seible, Frieder (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012-01)

Measures to prevent progressive collapse of structures include protection of critical elements such as columns. In support of this goal, nine tests were conducted to assess the as-built performance of typical columns and ...
Fuzzy Sets to Describe Driver Behavior in the Dilemma Zone of High-Speed Signalized Intersections

Hurwitz, David S.; Wang, Haizhong; Knodler, Michael A., Jr.; Ni, Daiheng; Moore, Derek (Elsevier, 2012-03)

The Type II dilemma zone describes a segment of road on the approach to a signalized intersection where, if occupied by a motorist presented with the circular yellow indication, is likely to result in a motorist having d ...
Planning of a Secondary Road Network for Low-Speed Vehicles in Small or Medium-Sized City: Using Google Earth

Jannat, Mafruhatul; Hunter-Zaworski, Katharine M. (Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, 2012)

In response to the growing environmental concern, the use of low speed vehicles (LSVs) on public roadways is gradually increasing in recent years as a short-range alternative to fossil-fueled autos. Primarily designed fo ...
A procedure for rapid visual screening for seismic safety of wood-frame dwellings with plan irregularity

Lucksiri, Kraisorn; Miller, Thomas H.; Gupta, Rakesh; Pei, Shiling; van de Lindt, John W. (Elsevier, 2012-03)

This paper highlights the development of a rapid visual screening (RVS) tool to quickly identify, inventory, and rank residential buildings that are potentially seismically hazardous, focusing on single-family, wood-fram ...
Professional Decisions: Responsibilities

Elms, David G.; Brown, Colin B. (Taylor & Francis, 2012)

The responsibilities which civil engineers, and particularly the engineer of record, accept are considered. The interaction with other decision makers such as the owner, stakeholders, the law and contractors results in c ...
Professional Decisions: The Central Role of Models

Elms, David G.; Brown, Colin B. (Taylor & Francis, 2012)

Engineering is largely concerned with models and modelling. Models provide a context in which decisions are made. Here the modelling process is considered in a general sense and then the relationship with engineering mod ...
Spatial identification and optimization of upland wetlands in agricultural watersheds

Babbar-Sebens, Meghna; Barr, Robert C.; Tedesco, Lenore P.; Anderson, Milo (Elsevier, 2013-01-24)

Wetland ecosystems are considered as potential ecological solutions for increasing the capacity of watersheds to store runoff waters upstream, and thereby, decrease risk of downstream flooding. Especially in tile-drain ...
Successive earthquake-tsunami analysis to develop collapse fragilities

Park, Sangki; van de Lindt, John W.; Cox, Daniel; Gupta, Rakesh; Aguiniga, Francisco (Taylor & Francis, 2012-07-18)

Over the last half-century, scientists and engineers have developed methods to better understand and mitigate the damage caused by tsunamis. According to U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) P646, buildings in ...
A Systems Approach to Civil Engineering Decisions

Rodriguez-Nikl, Tonatiuh; Brown, Colin B. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012-10)

While contemporary civil engineering projects are increasingly complex, the cognitive abilities of the decision maker remain limited. There is a conflict between the complexity that is required to describe a scenario wit ...
TopCAT – Topographical Compartment Analysis Tool to analyze seacliff and beach change in GIS

Olsen, Michael J.; Young, Adam P.; Ashford, Scott A. (Elsevier, 2012-08)

This paper discusses the development of a new GIS extension named the Topographic Compartment Analysis Tool (TopCAT), which compares sequential digital elevation models (DEMs) and provides a quantitative and statistical ...
Unified Approach for LRFD Live Load Moments in Bridge Decks

Higgins, Christopher; Turan, O. Tugrul; Connor, Robert J.; Liu, Judy (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011-11)

Current AASHTO-LRFD specifications use many disparate design provisions to establish live load demands in bridge decks. As an example, approximately 17% of Chapter 4 addresses the analysis of decks. One of the AASHTO-LRF ...
