An Application of Stochastic Simulation to the Study of the Variability of Road Induced Fatigue Loads
Abstract To adapt their products to the durability requirements, car manufacturers must possess a suitable methodology to quantify the large variety of road induced fatigue loads that vehicles’ components undergo during their life. The load data...

Post-Buckling Shear Strength of Thin Steel Plates
Abstract Thin walled steel members, such as cold-formed steel (CFS) members, are susceptible for local buckling at low loads. However, initiation of local buckling of elements does not necessarily mean the ultimate limit state of the member, and...

Sustainable use of industrial-waste as partial replacement of fine aggregate for preparation of concrete – A review
Abstract Utilisation of industrial waste materials in concrete compensates the lack of natural resources, solving the disposal problem of waste and to find alternative technique to safeguard the nature. There are a number of industrial wastes used...

Pedestrian Crossing Patterns Preference at a Non-signalized Crosswalk
Abstract At the non-signalized marked crosswalk, pedestrians cross the road with changing directions and speeds that result in curved paths and higher chances of safety issues. Analyzing this behavior is a complex task, which is often further...

Double Stratification Effects on Mixed Convection along a Vertical Plate in a Non-darcy Porous Medium
Abstract This article presents non-similarity solutions to study the influence of thermal and mass stratification on mixed convection over a vertical flat plate immersed in a Newtonian fluid saturated non-Darcy porous medium. The model for the flow...

Modeling of shear deficient beams by the mixed smeared/discrete cracking approach
Abstract This paper presents an analytical study on the modeling of shear critical reinforced concrete beams modeled using the finite element method. The paper investigates two modeling strategies; the first of which is the well established smeared...

Mechanical and durability properties of fly ash geopolymer concrete containing recycled coarse aggregates
Abstract This paper presents mechanical and durability properties of geopolymer concrete containing recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). The RCA is sourced from local construction and demolition (C&D) waste in Perth, Australia. The RCA is used as a...

Effect of using swimmer bars on the behavior of normal and high strength reinforced concrete beams
Abstract Shear failure of RC beams is often sudden and catastrophic. The shear cracks progress rapidly without warning, and the diagonal cracks are considerably wider than the flexural cracks. In this study, two types of shear reinforcement are...

A Hyperpath-based Network Generalized Extreme-value Model for Route Choice under Uncertainties
Abstract Previous route choice studies treated uncertainties as randomness; however, it is argued that other uncertainties exist beyond random effects. As a general modeling framework for route choice under uncertainties, this paper presents a model ...
