Improved methods for forward and inverse solution of the wave equation for piles
… blow count is estimated) or inverse (the force-time and velocity-or displacement-time history from driving data is used to estimate the pile capacity.) The finite element routine developed was a three dimensional model of the hammer, pile and soil system using the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, …

Blast Performance of Hybrid GFRP and Steel Reinforced Concrete Beams
… response, failure mode, damage pattern, mid-span displacement, and support reactions of the tested beams. The results demonstrated several benefits in using hybrid arrangements of steel and GFRP reinforcement. Beams with hybrid reinforcing experienced reduced overall residual displacements …

Nonlinear Dynamic Response of Flexible Membrane Structures to Blast Loads
… of determining the structural response due to time dependent loading conditions. The full method has been used for performing the nonlinear transient analysis. Its more expensive in terms of computation involved but it takes into account all types of nonlinearities such as plasticity, large …

Shear Modulus Degradation of Liquefying Sand: Quantification and Modeling
A major concern for geotechnical engineers is the ability to predict how a soil will react to large ground motions produced by earthquakes. Of all the different types of soil, liquefiable soils present some of the greatest challenges. The ability to quantify the degradation of a soil's shear …
