RISCyclic Behavior of Traditional and Innovative Composite Shear Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Shear wall systems are one of the most commonly used lateral-load resisting systems in high-rise buildings. The composite shear wall system studied herein consists of a steel plate shear wall with a reinforced concrete ...
Moment–Rotation Parameters for Composite Shear Tab Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Shear tab connections, acting compositely with the floor slab, are capable of providing some lateral resistance in steel frame buildings. This resistance was suspected from the events of the 1994 Northridge Earthquake and ...
Cyclic Testing of Simple Connections Including Effects of Slab
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The problems with welded moment connections in the Northridge earthquake of 1994 gave researchers incentive to examine the actual contribution of the simple, or shear, connections to the lateral resistance of welded steel ...
Cyclic In‐Plane Buckling of Double Angle Bracing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The behavior of double‐angle bracing members subjected to in‐plane buckling due to severe cyclic load reversals is investigated. Eight full‐size test specimens made of back‐to‐back double angle sections, connected to the ...

Seismic and Structural Engineering of a Curved Cable-Stayed Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The innovative bridge design discussed in this paper is a long-span curved cable-stayed bridge with a single canted tower. The superstructure of the bridge consists of a multicell steel box girder with composite concrete-steel ...
Steel Semirigid Column–Tree Moment Resisting Frame Seismic Behavior
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Semirigid moment-resisting frames can provide seismic resistance of buildings if the connections are engineered for ductile behavior. Column–tree construction can utilize splice assemblies to provide stable energy dissipation ...
Shaking Table Tests of Rigid, Semirigid, and Flexible Steel Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A one-story, one-bay steel structure was constructed such that the beam-column connections could be changed from flexible to semirigid to rigid. Using a shaking table, structures with these three types of connections were ...
Cyclic Out‐of‐Plane Buckling of Double‐Angle Bracing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The behavior of double‐angle bracing members subjected to out‐of plane buckling due to severe cyclic load reversals is investigated. Nine full‐size test specimens were subjected to severe inelastic axial deformations. Test ...
Modeling of Cyclic Moment‐Rotation Response of Double‐Angle Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper presents a mechanical model to simulate the behavior of double‐angle connections subjected to large inelastic cyclic bending. The model is purely mechanical and as input needs only the stress‐strain law of the ...
