Abstract: A fiber beam-column model considering the slab spatial composite effect for nonlinear analysis of composite frame systems is proposed and implemented in a general commercial finite element (FE) package. A conventional fiber ...

Abstract: The widely used orthotropic steel deck system is subject to several durability problems: fatigue cracking of the steel, wearing of the surfacing, and corrosion. Thus, the composite deck system composed of an orthotropic ...

Abstract: Experimental and numerical studies were conducted to investigate the vertical load-carrying behavior and seismic performance of a composite frame structure with an innovative composite transfer beam, which was proposed to ...

Abstract: Conventional RC coupling beams have been widely used as key energy-dissipation components in frame-core tube structural systems for high-rise buildings. A model with sufficient efficiency, accuracy, and practicality is ...

Abstract: This paper presents finite-element analysis (FEA) and experimental study on the seismic behavior of joints between steel K-style outrigger truss and concrete core in tall buildings. Two new joint types with different ...
