Abstract: Previously proposed self-centering moment-resisting frames relied on gap opening and closing in the beam–column interface to achieve recentering capability and energy dissipation capacity. The gap-opening mechanism in the ...

Abstract: With two groups of numerical experiments with and without the cold-core eddy (CCE), the impacts of the CCE on the upper-ocean responses to Typhoon Trami (2018) were investigated using a coupled atmosphere–ocean model. It ...

Abstract: To evaluate short crack growth and fatigue damage accumulation in steel structures, efforts have been made based on a two-dimensional (2D) grain-based model for fatigue life assessment under variable amplitude loads. ...
