Abstract: Elastic buckling and second-order analyses are conducted using the matrix structural analysis approach for the in-plane and out-of-plane stability and adequate bracing design of a new type of Ferris wheel support system ...

Abstract: The conventional restraining ratio approach is not suitable for a straightforward design of the pre-tensioned cable-stayed buckling-restrained brace (PCS-BRB) because of its complicated buckling-restrained system. This ...

Abstract: This study presents a modified macromodel for calculating the anchorage slip of rebar under monotonic loading and its application to the fiber beam–column element model. The proposed macromodel reflects bond stress ...

Abstract: Recently, a steel plate concrete composite technique has been developed for the shear strengthening of RC bridges. The steel plate shear-strengthened (SPSS) beam is composed of an old RC beam, new concrete, and steel web. ...

Abstract: When global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are applied to construction survey of superhigh-rise buildings, satellite signal obstruction and multipath effects reduce the number of usable observations and make it difficult ...
