A Systems Approach to Civil Engineering Decisions

Creator:

Rodriguez-Nikl, Tonatiuh and Brown, Colin B.

Abstract:

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 with all its relevant properties and the limited number of ideas that can be included in rational considerations and...

Experimental Performance of Concrete Columns with Composite Jackets under Blast Loading

Creator:

Rodriguez-Nikl, Tonatiuh, Lee, Chung-Sheng, Hegemier, Gilbert A., and Seible, Frieder

Abstract:

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 the effectiveness of carbon fiber jackets in improving their performance. A quasi-static load protocol was developed to...
