Abstract: Research was conducted to investigate how the inclination angle of the diagonal tension field action varies in steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) and to determine what optimum constant angle best matches the demands obtained ...

Abstract: Presented is a study on energy dissipation in dynamic inelastic systems due to material inelasticity, viscous damping, and algorithmic damping. Formulation for plastic dissipation is based on thermodynamics, with consideration ...
