Theoretical Stress‐Strain Model for Confined Concrete

J.B. Mander, M. J. N. Priestley, R. Park · 1 Sep 1988

A stress‐strain model is developed for concrete subjected to uniaxial compressive loading and confined by transverse reinforcement. The concrete section may contain any general type of confining steel: either spiral or circular hoops; or rectangular hoops with or without supplementary cross ties. These cross ties can have either equal or unequal confining stresses along each…

Probabilistic Basis for 2000 SAC Federal Emergency Management Agency Steel Moment Frame Guidelines

C. Allin Cornell, Fatemeh Jalayer, Ronald O. Hamburger et al. · 1 Apr 2002

This paper presents a formal probabilistic framework for seismic design and assessment of structures and its application to steel moment-resisting frame buildings. This is the probabilistic basis for the 2000 SAC Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) steel moment frame guidelines. The framework is based on realizing a performance objective expressed as the probability of exceeding…

Mechanistic Seismic Damage Model for Reinforced Concrete

Young‐Ji Park, Alfredo H.‐S. Ang · 1 Apr 1985

A model for evaluating structural damage in reinforced concrete structures under earthquake ground motions is proposed. Damage is expressed as a linear function of the maximum deformation and the effect of repeated cyclic loading. Available static (monotonic) and dynamic (cyclic) test data were analyzed to evaluate the statistics of the appropriate parameters of the proposed…

State of the Art of Structural Control

Billie F. Spencer, Satish Nagarajaiah · 20 Jun 2003

In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to research and development of structural control devices, with particular emphasis on alleviation of wind and seismic response of buildings and bridges. In both areas, serious efforts have been undertaken in the last two decades to develop the structural control concept into a workable technology. Full-scale implementation…

Anchorage Strength Models for FRP and Steel Plates Bonded to Concrete

J.F. Chen, J.G. Teng · 1 Jul 2001

External bonding of steel plates has been used to strengthen deficient reinforced-concrete structures since the 1960s. In recent years, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) plates have been increasingly used to replace steel plates due to their superior properties. A key issue in the design of an effective retrofitting solution using externally bonded plates is the end anchorage…

Journal of Structural Engineering template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Structural Engineering format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Structural Engineering template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official ASCE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Structural Engineering use?
Journal of Structural Engineering uses Author–year (ASCE) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., B. Jones, and C. Lee. (2023). "A representative article title." Journal of Structural Engineering, 12(3), 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Structural Engineering?
No. DocuGuru generates the ascelike-new LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a ASCE-ready Journal of Structural Engineering document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Structural Engineering template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Structural Engineering format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Journal of Structural Engineering?
ASCE journal. It is a engineering and computer science journal, published by ASCE.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Structural Engineering PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Structural Engineering template (the ascelike-new class) that is ready to submit to ASCE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Structural Engineering template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Structural Engineering template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Structural Engineering PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
