Abstract: Using data generated from experiments, a numerical model is developed for capturing the in-plane seismic response of full-height cold-formed steel framed partition walls. The behavior of the partition wall is captured using ...

Abstract: Earthquakes continue to demonstrate the vulnerability of freestanding structures (namely, statues). This, coupled with their cultural significance, underlines the need to understand their behavior and develop reliable tools ...

Abstract: Three structures were monitored during a nearby controlled implosion of two 13-story reinforced concrete buildings. The controlled implosion included localized blasts on alternate floor levels, which initiated the progressive ...
