Abstract: The investigation of the dynamic collapse behavior of structures during strong wind disturbances provides a rational foundation for estimating the safety factor of structures. In order to discuss the essential features of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a detailed examination of the experimental behavior of 14 full-scale, welded beam-column subassemblages. First, ductility capacity of the specimens is evaluated in terms of cumulative plastic rotation ...

Abstract: This paper describes the results of cyclic loading tests applied to 14 full-scale beam-column subassemblages. First, efforts undertaken in the Japanese steel community in response to damage observed at welded beam-to-column ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical study of local instability behavior in a reduced beam section (RBS) beam subjected to cyclic loading. A general finite-element method is used for numerical experiments here. Even though ...
