RISStructural System Parameter Selection Based on Collapse Potential of Buildings in Earthquakes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper attempts to provide insight into the sensitivity of the collapse capacity of moment-resisting frame and shear wall structures to variation in basic structural parameters, and the choice of an appropriate ground ...
Behavior of Ductile SMRFs at Various Seismic Hazard Levels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A summary is presented of a comprehensive study on the seismic behavior of ductile steel moment resisting frame (SMRF) structures with fully restrained connections. The study focuses on the seismic behavior of code compliant ...
Dynamic P-Delta Effects for Flexible Inelastic Steel Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Inelastic seismic response of steel moment resisting frame structures, which are usually quite flexible and subject to large displacements under severe ground motions, may be severely influenced by the structure P-delta ...
Impulsive Direct Shear Failure in RC Slabs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Direct shear failure in reinforced concrete slabs under impulsive loads is relatively undocumented because of the paucity of data showing failure characteristics. The combined effects of beam action and wave action are ...
Small‐Scale Model Tests of Structural Steel Assemblies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Replica models of three beam‐column assemblies and a six‐story braced frame specimen were constructed at a scale of 1:12.5. These models were then tested using the same displacement histories as corresponding prototype ...
Uniaxial Cyclic Stress‐Strain Behavior of Structural Steel
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple mathematical model for the uniaxial cyclic stress‐strain behavior of structural steel is proposed for arbitrary loading histories in the inelastic range. The model uses the monotonic and cyclic stress‐strain curves ...
Closure to “<i>Uniaxial Cyclic Stress‐Strain Behavior of Structural Steel</i>” by Nathaniel G. Cofie and Helmut Krawinkler (September,1985, Vol. 111, No. 9)

Evaluation of Drift Demands for the Seismic Performance Assessment of Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents an evaluation of drift demands and their associated uncertainties for nondeteriorating regular moment resisting frame structures subjected to ordinary ground motions (i.e., without near-fault effects). ...
Deterioration Modeling of Steel Components in Support of Collapse Prediction of Steel Moment Frames under Earthquake Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reliable collapse assessment of structural systems under earthquake loading requires analytical models that are able to capture component deterioration in strength and stiffness. For calibration and validation of these ...
Euler's Paper on Statically Indeterminate Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is well known that Leonhard Euler contributed a great deal to structural analysis; an example is the column formula that goes by his name. However, his seminal contribution to statically indeterminate analysis has ...
