DEBONDING BENDING MOMENT OF PARTIALLY PRE-TENSIONED PATCH PLATE BONDED TO STEEL PLATE

Pyroeffects on Multiphase Magneto-electro- Elastic Sensor Patch Bonded on Mild Steel Plate

The magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) material under thermal environment exhibits pyroelectric and pyromagnetic coefficients resulting in pyroeffects such as pyroelectric and pyromagnetic. The pyroelectric and pyromagnetic effects on the behavior of multiphase MEE sensors bonded on the top surface of a mild steel plate under thermal environment is presented in this paper. The aim of the study is to...

Performance-Based Plastic Design of Moment Frame-Steel Plate Shear Wall as a Dual System

Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) is an emerging seismic load-resistant system that, compared to other systems, enjoys the advantages of stable ductile behavior, fewer detailing requirements, rapid constructability, and economy. American seismic provisions decree that a SPSW should be designed as a moment frame with a web infill plate. Specifically, in case of buildings taller than 160 ft, it decre...

Shake Table Tests of Reinforced Concrete Flat Plate Frames and Post-tensioned Flat Plate Frames

A research study was undertaken to assess performance of flat plate systems constructed with slab shear reinforcement under dynamic loads. The research program consisted of shake table tests and accompanying analytical studies of two, approximately one-third scale, two-story, two-bay, slab-column frames. One specimen was constructed with reinforced concrete (RC) slab, whereas the other specimen...

Economical Steel Plate Girder Bridges

As a service to the bridge design profession, Bethlehem Steel has conducted hundreds of studies of steel plate girder bridges using its Preliminary Bridge Girder Optimization Program. The program is unique because it optimizes plate girder designs on the basis of least cost, not least weight. An evaluation of many study results leads to a number of guidelines which are offered in this paper. Wh...
