Vibration Performance of Mass Timber Slab Floors with Glulam Beam Supports
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Mass timber floors are prone to human-induced vibration due to their light weight. Vibration serviceability limit design often governs the maximum allowable span of mass timber floors. The current design methods usually ... -
Hybrid Simulation Testing of Normal and High-Strength RC Shear Walls in Nuclear Facilities under Ground Motion Sequences
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls are widely used as a seismic force–resisting system in nuclear facilities. Such walls are designed to be relatively thick with a few openings for radiation shielding as well as for blast ... -
Rate-Dependent Thermomechanical Coupling Hysteretic Model for Lead High-Damping Rubber Bearings at Low Temperatures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The lead high-damping rubber (LHDR) bearing is one of the efficient rubber bearings with excellent energy-dissipation capacity. Similar to high-damping rubber (HDR) bearings and lead rubber (LR) bearings, the hysteretic ... -
Experimental and Numerical Analysis of the Fire Resistance of Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Geopolymer concrete is a green building material, and related research has been focused on the material level, with relatively few experimental studies conducted at the structural component level. In this paper, full-size ... -
Variable-Angle Spatial Truss Model for Analytical Biaxial Shear Capacity Prediction of Reinforced Concrete Members with Transverse Reinforcement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Reinforced concrete (RC) elements frequently undergo biaxial shear forces, for example, columns under seismic events and spandrel beams that support an inclined roof. Nonetheless, experimental testing of RC elements subject ... -
Experimental and Theoretical Investigation on Flexural Behavior of LWSCC Beams Strengthened with an ULW-ECC-FRP Mesh Layer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The structural performance of lightweight self-consolidating concrete (LWSCC) structures is susceptible to degradation due to its inherent brittleness. To address this challenge, the ultra-lightweight engineered cementitious ... -
Flexural Performance of Steel–UHPC Composite Beams with Innovative Steel Wedge Block–Crossed Inclined Stud Connections
