RISThree-Dimensional Cyclic Beam-Truss Model for Nonplanar Reinforced Concrete Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A three-dimensional nonlinear cyclic model for nonplanar reinforced concrete walls is presented. Nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli fiber-section beam elements are used to represent steel and concrete in the vertical direction, and ...
Seismic Response of Bridges with Rocking Foundations Compared to Fixed-Base Bridges at a Near-Fault Site
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper numerically investigates the three-dimensional seismic response of six reinforced concrete bridges hypothetically located in Oakland, California, 3 km from the Hayward fault. Three of the bridges are 17 m tall ...
Displacement-Based Method of Analysis for Regular Reinforced-Concrete Wall Buildings: Application to a Full-Scale 7-Story Building Slice Tested at UC–San Diego
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a displacement-based method of analysis for the performance-based seismic design of regular buildings with reinforced-concrete bearing walls acting as the lateral-force resisting system. The method ...
Assessment of the Cyclic Behavior of Structural Components Using Novel Approaches
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To extend the life of a structure, or a component, which is subjected to cyclic thermomechanical loading history, one has to provide safety margins against excessive inelastic deformations that may lead either to lowcycle ...
RC Wall Plastic Hinge Out-of-Plane Buckling: Analysis Using the Nonlinear Beam-Truss Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The beam-truss model (BTM), developed for the nonlinear cyclic analysis of reinforced concrete components including softening, is extended to compute the out-of-plane buckling observed in plastic hinges of various slender ...
Shake-Table Test of a Full-Scale 7-Story Building Slice. Phase I: Rectangular Wall
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper is a companion to “Displacement-Based Method of Analysis for Regular Reinforced-Concrete Wall Buildings: Application to a Full-Scale 7-Story Building Slice Tested at UC–San Diego” and presents key results obtained ...
Seismic Response of a Damage-Resistant Recentering Posttensioned-HYFRC Bridge Column
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the shake-table tests of a damage-resistant posttensioned bridge column designed to rock at the interface with its foundation. It compares the response to that of a conventional bridge column detailed ...
Experimental Seismic Response of Hybrid Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns with Novel Longitudinal Reinforcement Detailing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The experimental seismic response of two bridge columns built using highly flowable hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete under unidirectional static cyclic lateral loading is presented. The objective was to design bridge columns ...
System Identification Study of a 7-Story Full-Scale Building Slice Tested on the UCSD-NEES Shake Table
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A full-scale 7-story reinforced concrete building slice was tested on the unidirectional University of California–San Diego Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (UCSD-NEES) shake table during the period from October ...
Shake Table Test of Large-Scale Bridge Columns Supported on Rocking Shallow Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of shake table tests of two 460-mm-diameter columns supported on 1.5-meter-square shallow rocking foundations. The tests were conducted using the Large Outdoor High-Performance ...
