Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis Of Hybrid Frames
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
This study proposes a hybrid frame system consisting of rigid and semi-rigid connections subjected to a dynamic loading. Two building geometries are chosen to represent low-rise and high-rise buildings. Multiple locations ...
Non-linear Finite Element Dynamic Analysis Of The Effect Of Compaction On Underground Conduits
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Construction loads are an important but often overlooked factor in underground pipe design and installation. Common compaction equipments used in pipeline construction can be a major contributor to pipe damage. To reduce ...
A New Paradigm In User Equilibrium - Application In Managed Lane Pricing
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Ineffective use of the High-Occupancy-Vehicle (HOV) lanes has the potential to decrease the overall roadway capacity during peak periods. Excess capacity in HOV lanes during peak periods can be made available to other ...
The Effects Of Behavioral, Geometric And Heavy Vehicle Traffic Flow Characteristics On Capacity And Emissions At Roundabouts
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Modern roundabouts, first constructed in England in the early 1960s, are becoming increasingly popular replacements for signalized and stop controlled intersections in the United States. Roundabouts were introduced to ...
Managed Lanes Weaving And Access Guideliness
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
To maximize the potential for successful managed lanes (MLs) operations, there are critical design issues that require special attention. Adequate ML access spacing and length of the ML access opening are required for the ...
Effect Of Frame Shape And Geometry On The Global Behavior Of Rigid And Hybrid Frame Under Earthquake Excitations
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-07-19)
The primary focus of this study is to present a shape which will improve building performance in earthquake excitations. The investigation started with 3-, 9-, 12- and 20-story rectangular frame. The seismic performance ...
Testing & Design Life Modeling Of Polyurea Liners For Potable Water Pipes
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Currently, there are various renewal methods available for different applications, among which coatings and linings are most commonly used for the renewal of water pipes. Polyurea is a lining material applied to the interior ...
Development Of A Preliminary Cost Estimation Method For Water Treatment Plants
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Reliable cost estimates for construction, and operation and maintenance (O&M) of water treatment plants are essential for their project planning and design. During the planning phases of the project, preliminary cost ...
