Abstract: This paper presents a computational assessment of the performance of steel gravity framing systems with single-plate shear connections and composite floor slabs under column loss scenarios. The computational assessment ...

Abstract: This paper presents a computational assessment of the behavior of single-plate shear (shear tab) connections in gravity frames under column-loss scenarios. Two-span beam assemblies without floor slabs are considered under ...

Abstract: Exact analytical solutions are formulated for free vibrations of tensioned beams with an intermediate viscous damper. The dynamic stiffness method is used in the problem formulation, and characteristic equations are obtained ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions are used to investigate the free vibrations of tensioned beams with a viscous damper attached transversely near a support. This problem is of particular relevance for stay-cable vibration suppression, ...

Abstract: A computational methodology is presented for evaluating structural robustness against column loss. The methodology is illustrated through application to RC frame buildings, using a reduced-order modeling approach for ...

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: Peak bending moments are compared for a set of steel portal frames of industrial buildings in an open terrain calculated using database-assisted design (DAD) techniques and ASCE 7-05 Standard plots. The comparisons indicate ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental and computational assessment of the performance of steel and reinforced concrete beam-column assemblies under monotonic vertical displacement of a center column, simulating a column ...

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: Since the events of September 11, 2001, the engineering community has devoted increased attention to evaluating the vulnerability of multistory buildings to disproportionate collapse, including substantial research and ...
