RISSeismic Performance of Exposed Column–Base Plate Connections with Ductile Anchor Rods
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents full-scale experiments and computational analyses on exposed column–base plate connections with ductile anchors. The aim is to examine the seismic performance of these connections for their prospective ...
Stiffness Design of Continuum Structures by a Bionics Topology Optimization Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A heuristic approach is presented to solve continuum topology optimization problems with specified constraints, e.g., structural volume constraint and/or displacement constraint(s). The essentials ...
Multilevel Adaptive Algorithm for Multiscale Analysis of Heterogeneous Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A multilevel adaptive FEM is proposed for multiscale mechanical analysis of heterogeneous materials. The algorithm is developed based on the extended multiscale FEM (EMSFEM), which has been proven to be an efficient method ...
Reliability Analysis and Design Considerations for Exposed Column Base Plate Connections Subjected to Flexure and Axial Compression
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Exposed column base plate (ECBP) connections are commonly used in steel moment resisting frames. Current approaches for their design are well-established from a mechanistic standpoint. However, the reliability of connections ...
