Abstract: Drywall partition wall systems have become one of the most common forms of construction for partition walls in multistory buildings around the world. Drywall partitions are usually attached to the surrounding structural ...

Abstract: The implementation of two series of hybrid simulations that aim to trace the system-level seismic response of a four-story steel moment frame building structure through collapse is presented. In the first series of tests, ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are subjected to combinations of axial, shear, flexure, and torsional loading during an earthquake event. Comprehensive understanding of the behavior of shear panels is essential to ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) concrete printing is increasingly becoming popular because it provides a powerful platform for the fabrication of structural components in freeform architectural shapes. Although manufacturing ...

Abstract: This study investigates the seismic performance of built-up steel tubular (BST) columns composed of four mild-steel plates welded to four ultrahigh-strength steel (UHSS) tubes of Grade 1200, presenting a novel concept in ...

Abstract: Strengthening concrete bridges using fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) in flexure, shear, and torsion is limited by the occurrence of premature FRP debonding which often controls the degree of strengthening possible using ...

Abstract: This paper introduces an innovative three-piece boltless connection for assembly of volumetric building units or modules in multistory modular buildings. The proposed connection comprises a vertical connector and an ...
