The asphalt industry has been at the forefront of sustainable development. Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) has been developed to cope with issues such as high energy prices and air pollution. These mixes require less energy and ...

The seismic risk of reinforced concrete building frame located in the Guwahati City of northeast India is evaluated. To do so, we fi rst conduct a site-speci c probabilistic seismic hazard analysis to obtain hazard curve ...

Health monitoring of masonry bridges is vital due to their long life in service and an increasing need for higher axle loads. Results of feasibility study of applying an increased axle load of 25 tons to an old masonry ...

In this paper, application of Endurance Time (ET) method in nonlinear seismic analysis of off shore pile supported systems has been studied. The ET method is a time-history analysis in which structures are subjected to ...

This paper investigates the seismic behavior of RC shear walls strengthened by Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites. In this research, the e ects of strengthening shear walls with di fferent strengthening schemes and ...

The conventional energy release rate approach to the computation of the crack compliance in rotors is critically reviewed and its shortcoming is highlighted. The state functions and the generic compliance are introduced, ...

This paper describes the development of a numerical model with the ability to simulate and analyze the mechanical behavior of di erent types of Double Bolted Flush End-plate Beam (DBFEB) splice connections, which thus far ...

Time headway is an important indicator for evaluating car-following safety.To study the inuence of edge rate on time headway in car-following, three patterns ofline marking were designed and placed on a real-world expressway, ...

Monitoring coastal areas is an important parameter in the sustainable development and protection of the environment. The expansion of constructions in Iran's southern coasts has not only led to the destruction of ...

One of the most important problems facing structural engineers is the analysis of dynamic behavior of bridges subjected to moving vehicles. In addition, viscoelastic supports under bridges change their dynamic behavior ...
