Abstract: Recent research has shown that self-centering steel plate shear walls (SC-SPSWs) offer an enhanced seismic performance over conventional steel plate shear walls by providing an additional self-centering capability using ...

Abstract: This paper presents insights on the combined contribution of posttensioning and beam-to-column joint rocking connection in self-centering steel plate shear walls (SC-SPSWs). Moment, shear, and axial force diagrams along ...

Abstract: Prestressed concrete (PC) poles are becoming popular choices to support coastal power transmission systems. However, the existing literature does not offer a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of PC poles in terms of ...

Abstract: Post-tensioned rocking mass timber walls (PT-RMTWs) have been established as a seismically resilient seismic force-resisting system for mass timber buildings with high potential. The literature is rich in experimental ...

Abstract: Several national programs define the testing protocols and design guidelines for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement in concrete structures. This paper offers a review of these documents, comparing the materials ...

Abstract: This paper presents the first full-scale experimental investigation of the self-centering steel plate shear wall (SC-SPSW) system. The SC-SPSW system is a lateral force-resisting system developed to provide system recentering ...

Abstract: Over the past four decades, surface flaw parameters for the two-parameter glass failure prediction model were estimated based on statistical measures and the researcher’s interpretation of the failure data rather than an ...
