Fatigue Performance of Screw-Fastened Light-Gauge-Steel Roofing Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When subjected to strong sustained fluctuating wind uplift, screw-fastened light-gauge-steel profiled roofing sheets may fail locally in the vicinity of fasteners by cracking due to fatigue, resulting in the sheeting being ...
Determination of Wind-Induced Fatigue Loading on Roof Cladding
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Strong wind pressures can cause severe fatigue damage to the screw-fastened light gauge steel roofing of low-rise buildings. An approach to determine the fatigue loading of roof cladding is presented here. The rain-flow ...
Wind-Induced Fatigue Loading and Damage to Hip and Gable Roof Claddings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wind-induced fatigue loading and damage to roof claddings on gable-roof and hip-roof buildings are investigated in this study through both wind tunnel tests and computer analyses. The magnitude and distribution of wind ...
Vibration of Inclined Sag Cables with Oil Dampers in Cable-Stayed Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents both free and forced vibration analyses of inclined cables, including the effects of cable sag, equipped with oil dampers in cable-stayed bridges by using a hybrid method recently developed by the ...
Structural Damage Detection Using Empirical Mode Decomposition: Experimental Investigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation on the applicability of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) for identifying structural damage caused by a sudden change of structural stiffness. A three-story shear ...
Characterizing Nonstationary Wind Speed Using Empirical Mode Decomposition
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper explores how to characterize nonstationary wind speed that can be modeled as a deterministic time-varying mean wind speed component plus a stationary random process for the fluctuating wind speed component. The ...
Two-Stage Covariance-Based Multisensing Damage Detection Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Semianalytical Method for Parametric Study of Tuned Mass Dampers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Based on wind‐tunnel measurements of wind‐induced response of tall buildings, a semianalytical method of performing parametric study of tuned mass dampers for tall buildings is proposed. This method was verified through a ...
