RISNumerical Retrofit Study of Light-Frame Wood Buildings Using Shape Memory Alloy Devices as Seismic Response Modification Devices
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Woodframe buildings have historically performed well during earthquakes primarily because of their high strength/stiffness to weight ratio. Even still, these structures possess the potential for significant damage and even ...
Full-Scale Experimental Investigation of Second-Story Collapse Behavior in a Woodframe Building with an Over-Retrofitted First Story
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soft-story woodframe buildings have been identified as a disaster preparedness problem throughout California and are present in many other states of the United States. These buildings can be readily identified by their ...
