Abstract: This paper explores the use of mass/stiffness eccentricity in simple buildings to damp the response to excitation due to base motion. Examples include one- and two-story buildings when discussing low-rise structures and ...

Abstract: This paper presents the design and construction of an innovative dual-purpose screen that can block headlight glare while having adequate height to deter pedestrian crossover. Glare screens are used to shield drivers from ...

Abstract: This note describes some interactions that can occur between stress resultants in elastic, three-dimensional structures when geometric (beam-column) nonlinearities are considered. These effects generalize the well-known ...
