Seismic Design of CLT Shear-Wall and Glulam Moment-Resisting Frame Coupled Structure
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)In response to the increasing need for sustainable construction materials, numerous innovative timber-based structural systems have been developed in the past two decades. While timber-based shear-walls are popular, ... -
Design of Cold-Formed Steel Built-Up Back-to-Back Columns Subject to Local-Flexural Interactive Buckling
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)The North American Standard (NAS) and the European Standard (EC3) for cold-formed steel design provide limited guidelines for the strength predictions of built-up columns. The existing design equations are limited to ... -
Postfire Performance of Thread-Anchored Blind-Bolted Connection
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)The thread-anchored blind bolt (TBB) is anchored by a threaded bolt hole instead of a nut. It can only be mounted from one side, providing an alternative method to build the square hollow section column connection (SHSCC). ... -
Stiffness Reduction of Cold-Formed Steel Structures Subject to Sectional Buckling and Yielding
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)The paper develops a stiffness reduction factor to be used in geometric nonlinear beam-element type elastic analysis of cold-formed steel structures. The factor accounts for the reduction in flexural and warping torsion ... -
