This paper presents the formulation of a comprehensive risk-targeted performance-based
seismic design (PBSD) framework involving the seismic design of bridge piers for California …

With the recent advent of performance‐based earthquake engineering (PBEE) in seismic
design practice of buildings serving as an impetus for this work, initial steps toward a fully …

Conventional cast-in-place method in bridge construction requires long on-site construction
time and substantial labor in the field, which can result in high construction costs and traffic …

This paper presents the analytical formulation and computational implementation of a
conceptual probabilistic performance-based seismic design (PBSD) framework for ordinary …

It is often required to provide a reinforcing steel splicing arrangement with non-contact lap
splices due to the limitation of internal space or geometric irregularity for the connection of …

This paper presents an experimental investigation to determine the embedment length
required for longitudinal reinforcement in a bridge column extending into an oversized pile …

The structural performance of large-scale rectangular column-circular drilled shaft interface
using non-contact splices is investigated through experimental study and numerical …

This paper presents a numerical investigation to examine the bond-slip behavior of column
longitudinal reinforcing bars embedded in oversized pile shafts and to determine the …

This paper presents an analytical model to determine the bar slip and pullout capacity of
straight bars embedded in well-confined concrete. The model provides a closed-form …

Driven by the necessity to meet changing public expectations in the wake of natural
disasters, such as earthquakes, the structural engineering community has been moving …
