The development of accurate codes for the design of bridges and the evaluation of
existing structures requires adequate assessment of heavy traffic loading and also the dynamic interaction that may occur as this traffic ...
Simple numerical models of point loads are used to represent single and multiple vehicle events on two-lane bridges with a good road profile. While such models are insufficiently complex to calculate dynamic amplification ...
In many model-scale experiments, geometric scaling is upheld but kinematic and/or dynamic similitude is not because of the difficulty in manufacturing and assembling small models. This paper describes scaling, manufacturing, ...
To propose an initial formulation for the passive control section of the Turkish Earthquake Code, the impact of base isolation and viscoelastic dampers on a four-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame building was considered ...
In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) data has become increasingly available, in part as a result of significant technological progresses in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). LiDAR provides longitude and latitude ...
Increasingly, industrial operations adjoin residential communities. As the demand for natural resources increases, this problem is only more likely to exacerbate in coming decades. Thus, it is imperative to fully understand ...
The ultimate goal of the project reported herein was to determine whether or not a readily quantifiable threshold data density could be established to accurately predict subsurface lithology. A study area in Dublin Ireland ...
Bridge Weigh-In-Motion systems measure bridge strain caused by the passing of a truck
to estimate static axle weights. For this calculation, they commonly use a static
algorithm that takes the bridge influence line as ...
Laboratory testing for foundation design offers advantages over field-testing, especially, where existing installations preclude easy accessibility. Advantages include a homogeneous soil, ability to place instrumentation ...
The non take-up of social assistance benefits due to claim costs may seriously limit the anti-poverty effect of these programs. Yet, available evidence is fragmented and mostly relies on interview-based data, potentially ...
