Abstract: One of the main problems of substructure-based parallel solution methods is the imbalances in the condensation times of substructures when direct solvers are used. Such imbalances usually decrease the performance of the ...

Abstract: The design and detailing of reinforced concrete frames is a complex process that requires intensive real-time information exchange between various design tasks. The monolithic behavior of concrete, differences in the ...

Abstract: Engineering analysis to quantify the effects of earthquake forces on the structural strength of components requires determining the damage mode and severity of the components. The analysis requires strength computations ...

Abstract: Pseudodynamic testing was employed to observe the seismic performance of two retrofit methods on two-story, three-bay frame structures. The test frames had hollow clay tile (HCT) infill in the central bay and incorporated ...
