A NEW DESIGN METHODOLOGY OF REINFORCED CONCRETE SQUAT SHEAR WALLS FOR DUCTILE SEISMIC BEHAVIOR AND PREDICTABLE SHEAR STRENGTH
Almasabha, Ghassan S; 0000-0002-1414-3913 (2019-08-09)Reinforced concrete (RC) squat walls (with a height-to-length ratio of 2.0 or less) have high strength and stiffness which makes them a popular seismic force-resistant system for buildings and nuclear power plants. However, ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NON-PRESTRESSED UHP-FRC GIRDERS FOR LONG-SPAN BRIDGES WITH DCSR DESIGN CONCEPT AND COLLAPSE ASSESSMENT OF SMFS WITH CALIBRATED RC AND UHP-FRC COLUMNS BASED ON FULL-SCALE EXPERIMENTS
Shamshiri Guilvayi, Seyed Missagh (2021-08-06)The work presented here is divided in two parts. This summary includes two paragraphs, each summarizing the topics presented in this dissertation. Ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHP-FRC) is an emerging ... -
Enhanced Seismic Performance of Special Truss Moment Frames and Staggered Truss Framing System for Seismically Active Areas
Simasathien, Sanputt; 0000-0002-8632-6583 (2016-05-10)Due to their ability to achieve large column-free floor spaces, special truss moment frames (STMFs) and staggered truss frames (STFs) are unique valuable options for structural engineers. However, although STMFs and STFs ... -
FINITE ELEMENT APPROACH ON MINIMIZATION OF CRACKS AT I-GIRDER ENDS INDUCED BY PRESTRESS
Rauniyar, Sangit; 0000-0002-0333-6488 (2022-11-28)Prestressed I-girders are one of the very commonly and widely used girders for bridges. It is produced at precast plant and transported to bridge site. To produce a prestressed I-girder, strands are first pulled and ... -
Flexural Behavior Of Steel Fiber Reinforced Prestressed Concrete Beams And Double Punch Test For Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Karki, Netra Bahadur (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)Steel fibers have widely been used in the past to reinforce brittle materials in many nonstructural applications such as pavement, tunneling lining, etc. On the basis of numerous previous studies, ACI 318-11 [2011] has ... -
INVESTIGATION OF STRENGTH-ENHANCEMENT MECHANISM AND SIZE EFFECT ON ULTIMATE SHEAR STRENGTH OF STEEL FIBER-REINFORCED CONCRETE (SFRC) SLENDER BEAMS
Zarrinpour, Mohammad Reza (2016-05-10)This research study consists of two separate phases. In the first phase, an experimental study was conducted to identify the shear-enhancement and failure mechanisms behind the ultimate shear strength of steel fiber-reinforced ... -
Performance-based Plastic Design Of Earthquake Resistant Steel Structures: Concentrically Braced Frames, Tall Moment Frames, Plate Shear Wall Frames
Bayat, Mohammad Reza (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-03-03)It is well known that structures designed by current codes experience large inelastic deformations during major earthquakes. However, current seismic design practice in the U.S. is based on elastic structural behavior and ... -
Seismic performance of double-channel and double-HSS sections, special truss moment frame with buckling restrained braces, and long span Special Truss Moment Frame
Jiansinlapadamrong, Chatchai (2018-01-10)Until recently, all special truss moment frame (STMF) experimental research was done on only double angle STMFs. In order to satisfy the code seismic drift limitation, especially for mid-rise and tall multistory buildings, ... -
Shear Behavior Of Steel Fiber Reinforced Prestressed Concrete Beams Without Shear Reinforcement
Cho, Jae-Sung (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)The ACI 318-08 building code allows to use the steel fiber reinforcement as alternative shear reinforcement with satisfying certain criteria when a beam is required minimum shear reinforcement. However, this provision ... -
The Strength Of Horizontal Shear Reinforcement With Limited Development
Waweru, Regina NyamburaIn order for the composite action between the precast beam and the cast-in-place deck to be effective, sufficient horizontal (interface) shear strength needs to be provided at the interface of the two concrete elements to ... -
TOWARD A SEISMIC RESISTANT STEEL STAGGERED TRUSS FRAMING SYSTEM (STF)
Al-mazaidh, Ra'ed; 0000-0003-2162-7956 (2020-04-22)The Staggered Truss Framing (STF) system is a type of steel structural system used in mid- to high-rise buildings. It was initially developed in the 1960s in order to create a steel framing system that has low floor-to-floor ...
