122 Design Tips in 90 Minutes


 
At the 2010 SEI Structures Congress/NASCC: The Steel Conference in Orlando, Florida, participants selected the presentation they found to be the “Best of the Best” among those offered during the three days of technical sessions. This year’s winner for best presentation was: 122 Design Tips in 90 Minutes, presented by Dr. James Fisher and Michael West of Computerized Structural Design (CSD), a nationally known and respected full service engineering company which maintains its headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dr. Fisher completed his PhD in Structural Engineering with the University of Illinois in 1968; he is a licensed Structural Engineer in several states. Mr. West obtained his Bachelors in Architecture from the University of Illinois in 1971 and an MBA from the University of Wisconsin in 1977. He is a licensed Architect, as well as a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of Wisconsin and maintains licensure in several states.

Dr. Fisher and Mr. West are both principals with CSD and have been active within the structural engineering community providing leadership through various committee memberships within AISC and ASCE, by working as lecturers within various universities and through their active advocacy for the use of structural steel when considering a new building. They noted that educators spend the limited time they have with students teaching fundamentals and theory. Given the work load of an engineering student, there may or may not be an opportunity within the student’s educational experience to work on a project that can provide the opportunity to consider the importance of serviceability when designing a steel structure. Dr. Fisher and Mr. West discussed practical methods to make a project understandable and constructible when design is complete, emphasizing that time is money during the construction of a project and that good planning during the development of a project could save time during its fabrication and erection. They provided a variety of steps to remember along the path of project development, emphasizing practical actions that can be taken to make a structure easier and faster to fabricate and erect, thus saving time during construction and money for their client. Their presentation was based upon the broad experience they have gained through their collective 75 years in the structural engineering profession, and provided a practical discussion of considerations that should be taken to heart when putting together plans for a steel structure. Simple guidance like reading and thoroughly understanding the AISC Code of Standard Practice, maintaining open and clear lines of communication with fabricators, detailers and erectors throughout the development process and ensuring that fabricators, designers and erectors remain in sync are practical steps toward saving time and money on a project. Dr. Fisher noted that the engineer should not forget that their primary job should be to produce complete and well laid out sets of plans, and not to simply do calculations. The production of a proper set of plans can save money and provide clear guidance toward the completion of the project, with a minimum of concerns during construction.

By reiterating simple yet profound guidance that many engineers in the audience could relate to through their own experiences, the authors of 122 Design Tips in 90 Minutes, Dr. James Fisher and Mr. Michael West, were able to connect with their audience and speak to them in a very direct manner, as if across a drafting table or at a building job site rather than a conference room podium. The appreciative audience responded by selecting this paper as the 2010 SEI Structures Congress/NASCC: The Steel Conference Best Presentation.

Moments and Reactions for Rectangular Plates



This report documents two studies that were conducted to review, assess, and provide recommendations regarding the seismic design of bridge foundations. Specifically, the report addresses modeling approaches and parameters that affect the seismic design and response of pile groups and drilled shafts. The report attempts to bridge the interface between the structural and geotechnical design process by describing a two-step design and analysis procedure for these bridge foundation components. Recent research results on pile group effects and the design of pile foundations to resist lateral spreading of liquefiable soils are also reviewed. Recommendations are provided concerning: modifications to p-y curves to account for cyclic loading conditions, pile group effects and soil-pile interaction behavior, and development of p-y curves for the design of drilled shafts.

Mohr Circles, Stress Paths and Geotechnics


 
The second edition of this well established book has been comprehensively updated in line with recent developments. After presenting the fundamentals of stress and strain, and their graphical representation, the book includes chapters on failure states in soils and rocks, observed and elastic paths, and the use of discontinuities.

New sections include shear bands and small strain behaviour, as well as the use of elastic shear modular stress calculations and discontinuities in plasticity calculations. Expanded coverage is also given to dilitancy of soils and roughness of rock joints.

Modification of LRFD Resistance Factors Based on Site Variability



Current practice by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) for deep foundation design is to use a constant load and resistance factored design (LRFD) Φ depending on redundancy, but independent of pile/shaft dimension. Unfortunately, soil/rock properties vary from point-to-point (CVq: coefficient of variation) and are typically spatially correlated. Since both the skin friction and end bearing involve spatial averaging of soil/rock properties over the shaft surface, the resulting total shaft resistance variability (CVR) will not share the same point variability (CVq). Moreover, the total shaft variability (CVR) will also vary with different degrees of spatial correlation, typically represented with a covariance function and a correlation length a. This work employs well established geostatistical principles to establish both the covariance function (e.g., variogram) and expected total pile/shaft variability (CVR) using borehole data. Consideration is given to the number of borings, the location of borings relative to each other, and to the design foundation (e.g., if the borings are within the footprint of the design pile/shaft). Since the resulting pile/shaft variability CVR is a function of pile/shaft dimensions, soil/rock variability CVq, and its spatial correlation, the resulting LRFD Φ is not constant for any site. To help the designer, four quadrant iterative design charts are developed for single and group pile/shaft layouts, which consider side and tip resistances, as well as layered systems. To better define the total pile/shaft variability CVR, the practice of load testing is also incorporated into the proposed approach. The work includes multiple design examples and data from existing FDOT bridge sites (e.g., 17th Street, Fuller Warren, and Jewfish Creek bridges).

Modelling of Soil-Structure Interaction


 

Distributed in the East European countries, China, Northern Korea, Cuba, Vietnam and Mongolia by Academia, Prague, Czechoslovakia This book is based on the efficient subsoil model introduced by the authors in 1977 and applied in the last ten years in the design of foundations. From the designer's point of view, the model considerably reduces the extent of the calculations connected with the numerical analysis of soil-structure interaction. The algorithms presented are geared for use on mini- and personal computers and can be used in any numerical method. A special chapter is devoted to the implementation of the model in the NE-XX finite element program package, illustrated with diagrams, tables and practical examples. Besides presenting the energy definition and general theory of both 2D and 3D model forms, the book also deals with practical problems such as Kirchhoff's and Mindlin's foundation plates, interaction between neighbouring structures, actual values of physical constants of subsoils and natural frequencies and shapes of foundation plates. Today, researchers and engineers can choose from a wide range of soil models, some fairly simple and others very elaborate.

Modeling Soil Liquefaction Hazards for Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering


 
The performance of structures such as buildings and bridges during earthquakes is strongly
influenced by the performance of the soils that support them. Local soil conditions can influence structural performance in two primary ways by influencing the ground motions that excite the structure and by imposing additional deformations on the structure through ground failure. The first widespread observations of damage attributed to liquefaction were made in the 1964 Niigata, Japan, and 1964 Alaska earthquakes. In numerous earthquakes since, liquefaction has been deemed responsible for significant damage to buildings and bridges. Liquefaction has been studied extensively over the past 35 years, and substantial advances have been made in understanding the development and effects of this phenomenon. These advances have led to a series of practical procedures for evaluating the potential for occurrence and for estimating its effects. These procedures, however, are almost entirely empirical in nature and, as such, are difficult to apply to the problem of performance prediction for individual structures. The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center is committed to the development of methods and procedures for performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE). The use of PBEE requires the ability to predict a nearly continuous spectrum of performance states for individual structures. This requirement implies the need for tools and procedures for evaluation of the entire process of liquefaction, from initiation to effects. Recent advances in the understanding of liquefaction-related phenomena offer the promise of improved analytical predictions of the initiation and effects of soil liquefaction.
