RISSeismic Analysis of a Self-Centering Braced Frame in Pseudodynamic Tests: Response Characteristics, Brace Contribution, and Damage Evolution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigated the seismic performance and self-centering behavior of a three-story steel frame equipped with self-centering brace (SCBs) using pseudodynamic tests aided by OpenSees version 2.5.7 and OpenFresco ...
Design-Level Seismic Estimation of Self-Centering Energy Dissipation–Braced Frame Structures with Partial Recentering Capacity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Self-centering (SC) techniques have attracted widespread interest for the improvement of the seismic resilience of building structures. One typical representative is the self-centering energy dissipation (SCED)–braced frame ...
Modeling of Disc Spring Self-Centering Energy Dissipation Braces from Inactive State to Design Limit State
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper focuses on modeling the hysteretic behavior of disc spring self-centering energy dissipation braces (DS-SCEDBs) from the inactive state to the design limit state, and proposes two restoring force models for ...
Comparative Study on Perception of Causes for Construction Task Delay in China and the United States
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Rapidly growing construction markets in China and the United States have provided opportunities for contractors to venture into foreign industries. To help project managers understand the fundamental difference in culture ...
How Does Experience with Delay Shape Managers’ Making-Do Decision: Random Forest Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Making-do, a decision to start a construction task despite knowing that its preconditions are not fully ready, is a complex dilemma for construction managers. Managers’ previous making-do decisions and the resulting ...
