The present study offers a deductive design procedure based on designs that have been optimally screened in accordance with ASCE 41-17's nonlinear static (NSP). subsequent phase inferred linear methodology from the philosophy underlying NSP of 41-17. deduced is applied to provide set optimal 6-story SMRF under two load patterns: code-based and first-mode shape patterns. by proposed are compared...

Chile’s reinforced concrete (RC) design is based on ACI 318-08, where high-strength reinforcement not allowed in seismic force-resistant members. In 2019, new requirements adopted by 318 permitted the incorporation of walls. This study compared performance two Chilean 20-story residential buildings soft soil, one designed with traditional Grade 60 and other 80 reinforcement. The was assessed te...

Göçme öncesi sismik performans seviyesinde, kesmeye maruz betonarme kolonların yatay yük ve eksenel taşıma kapasitelerindeki azalmayı bu davranışların tüm yapıya etkilerini modellemeye tahmin etmeye ihtiyaç vardır. Kesme dayanımı ile deformasyon kapasite davranışlarının incelenmesi için farklı beton basınç dayanımı, seviyesi spiral donatı oranlarında dairesel kolon modelleri tasarlanmıştır. Tas...

This article represents the second report by an ASCE Task Committee "Infrastructure Impacts of Landscape-driven Weather Change" under the ASCE Watershed Management Technical Committee and the ASCE Hydroclimate Technical Committee. Herein, the 'infrastructure impacts" are referred to as infrastructure-sensitive changes in weather and climate patterns (extremes and non-extremes) that are modulate...

The Miami Conservancy District built five flood control dams after the catastrophic flood of 1913 in Dayton, Ohio. Lockington Dam was one of these five hydraulic fill structures. The Ohio State Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) issued new regulations in 1981 requiring that design flood for class I dams be considered equal to the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). Flood routing studies performed...

Shallow Soil Mixing (SSM) is a sister technology to Deep Soil Mixing (DSM) developed to more economically improve soils within ten meters of the surface. SSM was recently utilized to provide a foundation for large effluent storage tanks as well as to contain foundation soils in the event of liquefaction from an earthquake. Two large storage tanks were required to be built in a pulp mill. The on...

Averrhoa bilimbi is a plant rich in benefits, one of which as natural coagulant. The aim this research to increase the potential an environmentally friendly coagulant for coagulation rubber clone PB 260. concentrations used were 45%, 55%, 65%, 75% and 85%. characteristics tested dry content (DRC), initial plasticity (Po) Plasticity Retention Index (PRI). Based on results study, optimum concentr...
