Abstract: The collapse resistance of steel columns subjected to combined axial and reversed lateral loading is investigated computationally. Detailed finite-element models that are validated using available experimental data are ...

Abstract: Many of the models developed to date for human evacuation lack realism because of their inability to adequately simulate social relationships. To begin to address this shortcoming, an agent-based model is proposed based ...

Abstract: An equivalent frame is developed to simulate the effect of a large-size truck colliding with a reinforced-concrete column. The surrogate frame is made of simple steel elements and blocks, representing the major features ...

Abstract: Recent experimental and computational studies have shown that the inelastic behavior of deep steel columns, where the cross-section depth is substantially greater than the flange width, is not yet well understood. To address ...
