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 ...

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. ...

Abstract: This paper describes a reduced-order modeling approach for the thermal and structural analysis of fire effects on composite slabs with profiled steel decking. The reduced-order modeling approach, which uses alternating ...

Abstract: This paper presents a reduced-order numerical modeling approach for the analysis of heat transfer in composite floor slabs with profiled steel decking exposed to fire effects. This approach represents the thick and thin ...

Abstract: Floods account for the highest annual average losses from natural hazards across the United States, and the occurrence of repeat flood inundation events in United States communities is increasing. Distinguishing damages ...
