Abstract: The stability equations for plane frames with prismatic columns according to the buckling mode (as sidesway inhibited, partially inhibited, and uninhibited frames) are derived in a classical manner. In addition, an approach ...

Abstract: A mathematical model taking into account flexural and shear deformation, rotary moment of inertia, and axial loads is developed to calculate the natural frequencies of isolated walls. Results of free vibration tests of ...

Abstract: A review of current code requirements on lap splices and their limitations in seismic design is presented. A simple analytical model of an embedded bar is examined and correlated with available experimental data. The force ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of multistory reinforced concrete coupled walls was evaluated from the perspective of linear models based on response spectra, modal analysis, and reduced effective stiffnesses. This study indicates ...

Abstract: The firstand second-order stiffness matrices and load vector of a prismatic beam-column of double symmetrical cross section with semirigid end connections including the effects of end axial loads (tension or compression) ...

Abstract: Stability criteria that evaluate the elastic critical axial load of beam-columns with flexural connections under the combination of conservative end axial forces are presented in a classical manner. The end axial loads ...

Abstract: The nonlinear large deflection-small strain analysis of a slender beam-column of symmetrical cross section with semirigid connections under end loads (conservative and nonconservative), including the effects of axial load ...

Abstract: Two simple formulas are presented that evaluate the stability

Abstract: A simple method that evaluates the slenderness
