Abstract: The results from dynamic analyses by computer of an existing 13‐story steel moment resisting frame building are presented. The computed dynamic properties and response behaviors are compared to the true values as determined ...

Abstract: Following a brief review of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) method of analyzing the dynamic response of linear structures, the limitations and principal sources of potential inaccuracies of this approach are identified, ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes results from an analytical and experimental study of the response to traffic loading of a glued-laminated timber bridge. A numerical model to simulate the passage of a vehicle over a bridge was ...

Abstract: High-voltage flexible conductors are employed to interconnect equipment items in electrical substations located on seismically active regions to carry the electricity from one equipment item to another. They have sufficient ...

Abstract: During the last 3 decades interest has grown globally in the application of ductile steel plate walls (DSPWs) (or steel plate shear walls) for building lateral load resistance. The supporting theory has evolved from both ...

Abstract: In the last few decades, steel plate shear walls have been introduced as primary lateral load resisting elements in several buildings around the world. This paper presents research from a study on the performance of ...
