(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)A practical strengthening strategy for nonseismically designed exterior beam–column joints (BCJs) has been proposed by installing an unsymmetrical chamfer on the soffit of the beam. Its feasibility and effectiveness have ... -
Low-Temperature Mechanical Behavior of Fe-SMA for Structural Damping
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA) is an emerging class of material having a great potential for civil engineering, especially seismic engineering applications. However, the behavior of Fe-SMA strongly depends on ... -
Buckling Strength of Rolled Angles: Comparison between International Codes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Angle profiles belong to the most common steel profiles used in several types of civil engineering structures, such as in lattice towers. Although, in such towers, they are usually considered as axially loaded (truss) ... -
Seismic Performance of Fully Modular High-Rise Buildings with Superelastic Tendon Restrained Rocking
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Designing a fully modular building, which is without the support of any separate lateral resisting elements, has the advantage of rapid site assembly, but runs the risk of a brittle style of connection failures in a rare ... -
Design of Gusset Plates and Interface Welds of SCBF Systems with Braces Buckling In-Plane
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The design of connections of gusset plates, beams, and columns of concentrically braced frame systems is typically based on the forces generated by brace actions without considering the frame actions. This may result in ... -
Development of Aseismic Column with Self-Centering Capacity Only during Restoration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Self-centering columns (SC), while attracting interest for their high recoverability, do not dissipate seismic energy as efficiently as conventional reinforced concrete or steel columns, potentially leading to a more ... -
Analysis and Design Methods for Improved Stability of Two-Tiered Steel Eccentrically Braced Frames with Continuous I-Shaped Links
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)A set of seismic analysis and design requirements are presented to improve seismic stability of steel two-tiered eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) with I-shaped link beams. The proposed requirements include strength, ... -
Low-Cycle Fatigue Properties and Model for Flexure-Shear Critical Reinforced Concrete Columns Considering Cyclic Damage Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)To investigate the low-cycle fatigue properties of flexure-shear critical columns, nine reinforced concrete (RC) columns were subjected to monotonic and constant-amplitude cyclic loading. The effects of loading displacement ... -
Design of Slender Built-Up Back-to-Back CFS Channel Columns with Pinned Warping-Free Ends
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Built-up back-to-back cold-formed steel (CFS) channel members (BBC members) are utilized as CFS compression members with enhanced load-bearing capacity in building structures. In this study, finite-element (FE) models of ... -
Earthquake Functional Recovery in Modern Reinforced Concrete Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Functional recovery is a new, nonstandardized building design objective, intended to improve a building’s capacity to maintain or rapidly restore basic intended functions after a natural hazard event. Current building ... -
