Abstract: Field investigation of infrastructure damage following the March 2011, Tohoku, Japan, Tsunami uncovered failure of numerous fuel storage containers as a result of the high inundation depths and velocities associated with ...

Abstract: This paper describes a design procedure for the seismic rehabilitation of pre-Northridge steel moment connections using a welded haunch. Experimental results from cyclic testing of full-scale specimens demonstrated that ...

Abstract: Prefabricated RC shear walls are widely used in practical engineering due to their convenient construction. For ease of transport, they are commonly divided into smaller limbs and assembled on site. Steel panel shear keys ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of using the reduced beam section (RBS) and welded haunch for seismic rehabilitation of pre-Northridge steel moment connections was investigated through cyclic testing of six full-scale specimens—three ...
