Uniform Strip Model of Steel Plate Shear Walls with Different Plate Thicknesses
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The strip model, which is currently the most commonly used simplified analytical model for steel plate shear walls (SPSWs), neglects the compressive stiffness and resistance of the infill plate, thus underestimating the ...
Tubular Links for Eccentrically Braced Frames. II: Experimental Verification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the results of an experimental study to verify proposed design requirements for eccentrically braced frame links with hollow rectangular (i.e., tubular) cross sections. Twelve primary link specimens ...
Tubular Links for Eccentrically Braced Frames. I: Finite Element Parametric Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the development and results of a finite element parametric study of eccentrically braced frame links having hollow rectangular cross sections (i.e., tubular links). The parametric study involves over ...
Experimental Investigation of Light-Gauge Steel Plate Shear Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the prototype design, specimen design, experimental setup, and experimental results of three light-gauge steel plate shear wall concepts. Prototype light-gauge steel plate shear walls are designed as ...
Cyclic Testing of a Buckling Restrained Braced Frame with Unconstrained Gusset Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Buckling restrained braces are intended to yield in both axial tension and compression. The gusset plates connecting them to the adjacent beams and columns are thick and often stiffened to prevent buckling, and as a result ...
Integrity of Bolted Angle Connections Subjected to Simulated Column Removal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Large-scale tests of steel gravity framing systems (SGFSs) have shown that the connections are critical to the system integrity when a column suffers damage that compromises its ability to carry gravity loads. When supporting ...
Field Monitoring and Repair of a Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Bridge Deck
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports on the monitoring and repair of a pilot field deployment of a glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) deck on a small steel girder bridge in the Washington State. Deck deflections were monitored periodically ...
Integrity of Steel Single Plate Shear Connections Subjected to Simulated Column Removal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Steel gravity framing systems, one of the most commonly used structural systems in the United States, have an unknown resistance to collapse when a column suffers damage that compromises its ability to carry gravity loads. ...
Integrity of Bolted Angle Connections Subjected to Simulated Column Removal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Large-scale tests of steel gravity framing systems (SGFSs) have shown that the connections are critical to the system integrity when a column suffers damage that compromises its ability to carry gravity loads. When supporting ...
Fatigue and Strength Evaluation of Two Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Bridge Decks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge decks is appealing for applications where minimizing dead load is critical. This paper describes fatigue and strength testing of two types of GFRP decks being considered ...
