Methods of analysis are presented which enable the performance of both piled and plain raft foundations to be predicted. Throughout the work the substructure is modelled using a beam-column idealization. This allows the superstructure configuration to be readily incorporated int…
In the current economic climate, bridge managers are continually working to maximize the impact of each expense. One way to keep costs down is to streamline maintenance procedures and to first address problems that require immediate attention. Thus, it is important to fully unde…
This research work deals with the development of the shearbox apparatus by introducing a micro-computer to automatically collect all the results, and to apply normal and shear stresses. A continuous statement of time, channel number, and transducer input and output is produced f…
Reinforced concrete shear walls are commonly used to provide lateral strength and stiffness to concrete buildings in seismic regions. Typically installed in the wall face, mechanical anchors are responsible for connecting various nonstructural systems to the main structure. Duri…
HSS are often used as bracing members in special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs) in areas of high seismicity. These systems efficiently resist seismic forces through the stable and ductile inelastic yielding and buckling of braces. However, the current requirements for brac…
Concrete compressive strength is one of the most important material properties affectingthe design of concrete structures. Strength that will be achieved once the concrete sets should becorrectly predicted prior to pouring the concrete. Regression techniques can be used to calcu…
