Parametric Models for Wind Load Resistances of Wood-Frame Walls
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The progressive failure analysis of wood-frame structures under wind loads requires the resistances of each of the components (such as roof, walls, and connections) as input. The resistance functions should be able to ...
Initial Residual Stresses in Hot-Rolled Wide-Flange Shapes: A Computational Technique and Influence on Structural Performances
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Influence of Weld Sequence on the Low-Cycle Fatigue Failure of WUF-B Connections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Experiments on post-Northridge welded unreinforced flange bolted web (WUF-B) connections demonstrated a new low-cycle fatigue (LCF) crack initiation mechanism with final rupture occurring either near the weld access hole ...
An Unstiffened Eight-Bolt Extended End-Plate Moment Connection for Special and Intermediate Moment Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bolted extended end-plate (BEEP) moment-resisting connections are prequalified for use in special and intermediate moment frames. The current limits of this prequalification dictate that rolled wide-flange sections with a ...
Hazus Hurricane Wind Model for the US Caribbean Territories: Hazard Modeling and Development of Residential Damage Functions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The Hazus Hurricane Model has been extended to include the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The hurricane hazard model uses the same model incorporated into the design wind speeds given in US and Caribbean wind loading ...
