Design, Testing, and Detailed Component Modeling of a High-Capacity Self-Centering Energy-Dissipative Brace
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The self-centering energy-dissipative (SCED) brace is an innovative cross brace for buildings that provides a nonlinear response with good energy dissipation and postyield stiffness while minimizing residual drift after ...
Nailed Connection Behavior in Light-Frame Wood Shear Walls with an Intermediate Layer of Insulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The shear strength and stiffness of light-frame wood shear walls is highly dependent on the behavior of their individual nailed connections. Eighty-four nailed connection specimens were tested under shear loading to determine ...
Design and Testing of an Enhanced-Elongation Telescoping Self-Centering Energy-Dissipative Brace
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The self-centering energy-dissipative (SCED) brace is a new steel bracing member that provides both damping and recentering capability to a structure, while reducing or eliminating residual building deformations after major ...
Nailed Connection Behavior in Light-Frame Wood Shear Walls with an Intermediate Layer of Insulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The shear strength and stiffness of light-frame wood shear walls is highly dependent on the behavior of their individual nailed connections. Eighty-four nailed connection specimens were tested under shear loading to determine ...
Evaluation by Hybrid Simulation of Earthquake-Damaged RC Walls Repaired for In-Plane Bending with Single-Sided CFRP Sheets
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The realistic seismic response of two damaged reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls repaired using externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets was evaluated using hybrid simulation. The CFRP repair used ...
Residual Drift Response of SMRFs and BRB Frames in Steel Buildings Designed according to ASCE 7-05
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A recent study has shown that residual drifts after earthquakes that are greater than 0.5% in buildings may represent a complete loss of the structure from an economic perspective. To study the comparative residual drift ...
Automated Crack Detection and Damage Index Calculation for RC Structures Using Image Analysis and Fractal Dimension
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Damage assessment in postearthquake reconnaissance of civil structures has traditionally relied upon the judgment of experienced site inspectors. In a step toward eliminating the need for on-site inspections, this paper ...
