RISDamage-Based Seismic Reliability Concept for Woodframe Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the United States the majority of modern residential and a portion of commercial structures are woodframe construction which typically consists of dimension lumber sheathed with
Effect of Mainshock-Aftershock Sequences on Woodframe Building Damage Fragilities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although aftershocks have the potential to cause severe damage to buildings and threaten life safety, their effect in seismic risk analysis is not explicitly accounted for in modern building design codes, nor in emerging ...
Quantifying Changes in Structural Design Needed to Account for Aftershock Hazard
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Aftershocks have the potential to cause severe damage to buildings and threaten life following a major earthquake. However, their effect on seismic hazards is not explicitly accounted for in modern building design codes, ...
Design and Costs for Simple-Made-Continuous Rolled Steel Girder Bridges: Literature Survey
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The method of simple-made-continuous for steel bridges is becoming more popular throughout the United States because it enables significant cost savings. Specifically, the method allows one to avoid steel bridge girder ...
Structural Response and Reliability Estimates: Slepian Model Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research study investigates the practicality of using a Slepian model to model the earthquake excitation and structural response behavior of structures during the strong ground motion portion and entire duration of ...
Strength-Based Reliability of Wood Shearwalls Subject to Wind Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wood shearwalls provide the majority of the lateral force resistance in light-frame wood construction, which makes up the vast percentage of residential and some percentage of commercial construction in the United States. ...
Errata for “Structural Response and Reliability Estimates: Slepian Model Approach” by J. W. van de Lindt and J. M. Niedzwecki
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Evolutionary Parameter Hysteretic Model for Wood Shear Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The hysteretic behavior of wood shear walls subjected to cyclic loading exhibit highly nonlinear force-displacement responses. There exists a careful balance between model complexity and necessary accuracy. In fact, the ...
Uniform Serviceability Load Limits for Mechanical Flange Connectors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multilevel parking structures are often constructed using prestressed concrete double-Tee beams that form their floor and roof diaphragms. Mechanical flange connectors are typically used to connect the flanges of these ...
Strength-Based Seismic Reliability of Wood Shear Walls Designed According to AF&PA/ASCE 16
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the United States the vast majority of single and multifamily homes are constructed using light-frame wood construction which typically consists of dimension lumber sheathed with plywood or oriented strand board. These ...
