RISDamage-Controlled Structures. I: Preliminary Design Methodology for Seismically Active Regions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A damage-controlled structure is defined as a combination of structural systems and energy transformation devices that are integrated in such a way that damage due to a major loading is restricted to a specific set of ...
An Analytical and Experimental Analysis for a One-Dimensional Passive Stand-Off Layer Damping Treatment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Passive stand-off layer (PSOL) damping treatments are presently being implemented in many commercial and defense designs. In a passive stand-off layer damping treatment, a stand-off or spacer ...
Thickness Deformation of Constrained Layer Damping: An Experimental and Theoretical Evaluation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a study of thickness deformation of the viscoelastic material in constrained layer damping (CLD) treatments. The first goal of the study is to demonstrate the feasibility ...
Structural Behavior of RC Foundation Connections for Hybrid FRP-Concrete-Steel Double-Skin Tubular Columns under Constant Axial Compression and Lateral Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: During an earthquake, the casualties and economic loss due to infrastructure failure, such as bridges, are prohibitive. In addition, the deterioration in the steel reinforcements in bridges due to corrosion issues leads ...
