Formulation, Implementation, and Validation of a 3D Damage-Plasticity Cohesive-Interface Model with Multiple Yield Surfaces for Cyclic Modeling of Mortar Joints
(ASCE, 2024/06/01)The mechanical behavior of mortar joints can be described by means of the cohesive interface element in the mesoscale modeling of masonry structures. In this paper, a novel three-dimensional (3D) constitutive model for the ... -
Cyclic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Columns with L-Shaped Ties
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)In reinforced concrete columns, both constructability and structural safety should be considered in selecting the anchorage details of transverse reinforcement. For the simple installation of peripheral hoops, in this ... -
Experimental Program on Behavior of Concrete-Filled Steel Deck Composite Diaphragms
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)A limited amount of data exists on the cyclic behavior of concrete-filled steel deck diaphragms, and the few historical testing programs that have been conducted used specimens that may not be representative of modern floor ... -
Multinode Gradient Inelastic Force-Based Beam-Column Element Formulation
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)In the presence of softening section constitutive relations, classical beam theories predict erroneous strain singularities, and the corresponding force/flexibility-based (FB) beam-column element formulations result in ... -
Rotation Capacity of I-Shaped Beams with Concrete Slab in Buckling-Restrained Braced Frames
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)Buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) are attracting interest worldwide by virtue of their extraordinary response reduction performance. The system relies strongly on the energy dissipation of buckling-restrained braces ... -
Efficient Line-Element Method for the Second-Order Analysis of Steel Members with Nonsymmetric Thick-Walled Cross Sections
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)When designing steel members with nonsymmetric cross sections, it is essential to consider twisting effects when performing stability checks via second-order analysis according to the ANSI/AISC 360-22. Existing line-element ... -
Experimental Testing of Tall Slender Masonry Walls with Different Rotational Base Stiffnesses
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)Loadbearing, concrete masonry walls are an effective structural system to resist combined out-of-plane and gravity loads. A large portion of the market for these walls is composed of single-story warehouse and industry ... -
Metamodeling Framework for Multivariate Probabilistic Prediction of Story-Drift Profile of Multistory Buildings
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)This paper proposes a probabilistic metamodeling framework for predicting the joint probability distribution of the interstory drift ratio (IDR) profile of multistory buildings. IDR is an engineering demand parameter that ... -
Performance of SMART Shear Keys in Concrete Bridges under Tsunami Loading: An Experimental Study
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)Bridges have recently been exposed to an increasing number of natural hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis. These extreme events have resulted in transverse offsets, overturning moments, and even dropping-off of ... -
Cyclic Testing and Repair of Coupled CLT Walls with Steel Link Beams
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)Coupled cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls with steel link beams are a type of high-capacity lateral load resisting system for multistory buildings. In this study, a 6.6 m tall coupled CLT wall specimen with three ... -
