Abstract: The effects of the application of elastomeric construction adhesives on the wind uplift resistance of light-frame wood connections were investigated and are presented in this paper. Previous research has revealed that ...

Abstract: The seismic design of light-frame wood buildings requires adequate lateral strength and stiffness without inversely compromising the energy dissipation performance, mainly attributable to the connections. The impact of ...

Abstract: Hybrid simulations have shown great potential for economic and reliable assessment of structural seismic performance by combining physical experimentation on part of the structural system and numerical simulation of the ...

Abstract: The development and implementation of the real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS), a seismic response simulation method with a combination of numerical computation and physical specimens excited by shake tables and auxiliary ...

Abstract: There has been an increasing demand in building information modeling (BIM) for structural analysis. However, model exchange between architectural software and structural analysis software, which is an essential task in a ...

Abstract: Soft-story woodframe buildings have been identified as a disaster preparedness problem throughout California and are present in many other states of the United States. These buildings can be readily identified by their ...
