Final Research Report REVISED PREDICTION OF REINFORCEMENT LOADS IN REINFORCED SOIL WALLS

Worldwide Applications of Geosynthetics Reinforced Walls for Soil Reinforcement

Geosynthetics have become well established construction materials for geotechnical applications in most parts of the world. Because they constitute manufactured materials, new products and applications are developed on a routine basis to provide solutions to routine and critical problems alike. Results from recent research and from monitoring of instrumented structures throughout the years have...

Calibration of Load and Resistance Factors for Reinforced Concrete

Current approach for designing of reinforced concrete members is based on the load and resistance factor. However the load and resistance parameters are random variables, the constant values have been designated for them in the designing procedure. Assuming these factors as the constants, will be led to the unsafe and uneconomical designs. Safe designing of structures requires appropriate recog...

Practical Nonlinear Analysis for Limit Design of Reinforced Masonry Walls

Two modeling techniques for practical nonlinear static analysis are implemented to support the development and usage of a new Limit Design method for special reinforced masonry shear walls. The new seismic design alternative is under consideration for future versions of the building code requirements for masonry structures in the U.S. The proposed simplified models were applied to a planar one-...
