Stitch Spacing and Local Buckling in Seismic‐Resistant Double‐Angle Braces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The behavior of back‐to‐back double‐angle bracing members subjected to out‐of‐plane buckling under severe cyclic load reversals is investigated. Eight full‐size bracing members made of double angles of A36 steel with welded ...
Stitch Spacing and End Fixity in Seismic‐Resistant Boxed Angle Braces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The behavior of boxed double‐angle bracing members subjected to out‐of‐plane buckling under severe cyclic load reversals is investigated. Six full‐size hinged‐end and three fixed‐end bracing members made of double angles ...
Cyclic Load Behavior of Concrete‐Filled Tubular Braces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cyclic load behavior of concrete‐filled rectangular steel tubular bracing members is investigated. Nine full‐scale specimens made from A500 Grade B cold‐formed steel tubes were tested under quasi‐static cyclic loading. The ...
FRC-Encased Steel Joist Composite Beams under Reversed Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experimental and analytical studies were conducted to investigate the behavior of fiber reinforced concrete–encased steel joist composite members subjected to reversed cyclic bending. This new and innovative structural ...
Brace Fractures and Analysis of Phase I Structure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bracing members in concentrically braced structures may be subjected to large cyclic deformations in post‐buckling range during a severe earthquake causing possible early fractures. This paper investigates the phenomenon ...
Analytical Study of FRC-Encased Steel Joist Composite Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An analytical study was conducted to investigate the behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC)-encased steel joist composite beams under monotonic loading. This new and innovative composite system eliminates the need for ...
Experimental Study of FRC-Encased Steel Joist Composite Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to investigate the behavior of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC)-encased steel joist composite beams under monotonic loading. This new and innovative composite system eliminates the need ...
Upgrading of Braced Frames for Potential Local Failures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study concerns a type of local failure that was observed during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake: a brace-to-beam connection in concentric braced frame structures due to lack of adequate lateral support to both flanges ...
Cyclic In‐Plane Buckling of Double Angle Bracing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The behavior of double‐angle bracing members subjected to in‐plane buckling due to severe cyclic load reversals is investigated. Eight full‐size test specimens made of back‐to‐back double angle sections, connected to the ...
