RISDevelopment, Shake Table Testing, and Design of FRP Seismic Restrainers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The development and performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) fabrics as an alternative to steel for restrainers to reduce bridge relative movements at hinges during earthquakes was explored. Glass, carbon, and hybrid ...
Fragility Analysis of Suspended Ceiling Systems in a Full-Scale Experiment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The seismic performance of nonstructural components, including suspended ceiling systems, plays a significant role during and after an earthquake. Damage to these systems can leave buildings inoperable, causing economic ...
Seismic Simulation of an Integrated Ceiling-Partition Wall-Piping System at E-Defense. II: Evaluation of Nonstructural Damage and Fragilities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Seismic Fragility Study of Fire Sprinkler Piping Systems with Grooved Fit Joints
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A comprehensive analytical model is developed for a pressurized fire sprinkler piping system of a hospital building. A suite of ninety-six artificial triaxial floor acceleration histories is used to generate seismic fragility ...
Seismic Simulation of an Integrated Ceiling-Partition Wall-Piping System at E-Defense. I: Three-Dimensional Structural Response and Base Isolation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The seismic response of a full-scale, 5-story steel moment frame building in base-isolated and fixed-base configurations with an integrated suspended ceiling-partition wall-sprinkler piping system that was shaken at E-Defense ...
