Bridge Pile Bent P-Delta Curves in Transverse Direction Using FB-Pier and GTSTRUDL Pushover Analysis Procedures 

Hughes, Douglas (2005-08-15)
Extreme flood events may create large transverse water loads that cause piles of a bent to bend about their weak axes in addition to causing scour. A comparison of the nonlinear pushover analysis procedures and resulting ...

Determination of Elastic Constants and Damage in Ceramic Matrix Composites Using Ultrasonic Wave Speed Measurements 

Spurlock, Chad (2006-12-15)
MATLAB programs were developed to compute the elastic constants and damage of ceramic matrix composites using ultrasonic wave speed measurements. The matrix of elastic stiffnesses, C, relates the material stresses and ...

Flood Debris Build-Up Loading and Assessment of Adequacy of ALDOT Bridge Pile Bents During Extreme Flood/Scour Events 

Daniels, Joslyn (2005-08-15)
A description of a flood debris build-up loading and an assessment of the adequacy of a chosen group of typical ALDOT bridge pile bents having various loading conditions and under various amounts of scour are presented in ...

Soil-Structure Interaction and Imperfect Trench Installations As Applied To Deeply Buried Conduits 

Kang, Jun (2007-05-15)
The imperfect trench installation method is used to reduce earth pressure on deeply buried conduits. Few quantitative refinements to the imperfect trench installation method, however, have been added since the fundamental ...
