Time-Dependent Compressive Arch Action Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Frame Beams Resisting Progressive Collapse
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Beam compressive arch action (CAA) is an appealing mechanism for reinforced concrete (RC) frames to resist progressive collapse after losing a column during an abnormal event. Past studies have focused predominantly on the ... -
Consistent Estimate of Brace Fatigue Life Using Axial Deformations Evaluated from Nodal Displacements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Characterizing the behavior and assessing the performance of concentrically braced frames depends on adequately simulating force redistributions following brace fracture. Commonly, brace models with beam-column elements ... -
Tracing Earthquake-Induced Damage in Instrumented Buildings: A Wavelet-Based Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This study presents a novel seismic damage detection framework for building structures along with an innovative damage index. The proposed framework leverages solely the data captured during an earthquake event to detect ... -
Experimental Investigation of Steel Beams with Mechanically Reduced Sections Strengthened with Basalt Fiber–Reinforced Polymers

Real-Time Damage Self-Diagnosing and Self-Localizing Parallel Steel Wire Smart Cables
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Parallel steel wire cables and parallel steel strand cables are the most commonly used cable types in current stages, often serving as crucial load-bearing components in large-span spatial structures, cable-supported ... -
Life Cycle Cost Analysis of Prestressed Concrete Poles Subjected to Wind, Surges, and Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Prestressed concrete (PC) poles are becoming popular choices to support coastal power transmission systems. However, the existing literature does not offer a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of PC poles in terms of ... -
Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Flexural Behavior of Novel Unsymmetrical Cold-Formed Steel Built-Up Stiffened Box Sections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The use of cold-formed steel (CFS) built-up sections for portal frames is gaining popularity due to their ability to provide sustainable solutions and more optimized section design opportunities. This paper presents an ... -
Modeling by Altering Parameter Values during Time-Dependent Finite-Element Simulations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Finite element software, particularly software with contributions from many developers, often contain models with heavily duplicated code with only minor differences in parameter values and state determination. The lack ... -
Experimental Investigation of CFS Unequal Plain Angle Compression Members
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Global buckling modes of cold-formed steel (CFS) unequal-leg plain angle (UPA) compression members are flexural–torsional buckling (FTB) modes due to their nonsymmetric cross section. Although the behavior of CFS equal ... -
