Seismic Performance of Steel Beams to Diamond-Shaped Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Column Connections: Concept and Validation
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)The brittle behavior traditional directly welded connections of steel beams to concrete-filled steel tube columns is caused primarily by excessive out-of-plane deformation of the tube walls at the level of the beam tension ... -
Wind-Induced Buffeting Vibration of Long-Span Bridge Considering Geometric and Aerodynamic Nonlinearity Based on Reduced-Order Modeling
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)Aeroelastic instability and buffeting are two wind-induced phenomena for long-span bridges. In the traditional method, aeroelastic instability and buffeting are analyzed separately. If geometric and aerodynamic nonlinearity ... -
Research on the Tensile Behavior of Stiffened Welded Hollow Spherical Joints Exposed to Fire
(ASCE, 8/4/2023 1)Fire hazards are generally considered to be one of the major disasters that cause damage to grid structures, and when exposed to fire, their mechanical properties will directly affect whether the structure is safe. In this ... -
Experimental Testing and Numerical Simulation of Timber-Concrete Composite Floors in Fire
(ASCE, 8/31/2023 )Timber–concrete composite (TCC) floors exposed to fire experience charring and thermal degradation of timber, leading to a reduction in load-carrying capacity. Finite element (FE) modeling supplements data from experimental ... -
Strain Rate Effect on the Embedment Mechanical Properties and Fracture Behavior of Softwood Laminated Veneer Lumbers: Implications to Timber Connections
(ASCE, 6/26/2023 )This paper experimentally investigates the influence of the strain rate experienced during earthquake and progressive collapse events on mechanical properties affecting the design of softwood laminated veneer lumber timber ... -
Experimental Investigation of Cold-Formed High Strength Steel K Joints
(ASCE, 7/10/2023 )One of the main challenges in applying high strength steel to tubular structures is appropriate design of the welded joints between high strength steel tubular members, i.e., high strength steel tubular joints. Although ... -
Postfire Strength of Channel-Type Shear Connectors
(ASCE, 8/11/2023 )The combined action of steel and concrete in composite beams is accomplished via shear connectors that prevent slip between the two materials. In a fire event, the performance of these shear connectors may be impacted, ... -
Seismic Behavior of Predamaged Mortise-and-Tenon Joints Reinforced Using Viscoelastic Dampers
(ASCE, 7/4/2023 1)Mortise-tenon joints are the key load-bearing and energy-dissipating connections in conventional timber structures. The stiffness and damping ratio completely degradation of the key joints in an existing wooden frame due ... -
Experimental Testing of a Rocking Cross-Laminated Timber Wall with Pinching-Free Connectors
(ASCE, 7/27/2023 )A cross-laminated timber (CLT) wall panel offers an efficient solution to resist seismic loads. Earthquake-induced vibrations can be accommodated and dampened by ductile connections that hold down a rocking wall panel. In ... -
Design and Cyclic Experiments of a Mass Timber Frame with a Timber Buckling Restrained Brace
(ASCE, 7/26/2023 )Mass timber buildings are increasing in popularity as the building industry aims to use more sustainable construction materials. A lateral force resisting system with a mass timber frame and a timber buckling restrained ... -
Seismic Performance of Pretensioned Centrifugal Spun Concrete Piles with Combined Steel Strands and Deformed Steel Bars
(ASCE, 8/23/2023 )Pretensioned spun high-strength concrete piles usually use the traditional helical grooved steel bars as the main reinforcement, leading to insufficient ductility. Replacing prestressing steel bars with steel strands can ... -
Lateral Load Capacity of WikiHouse Composite Walls from CNC-Cut Timber
(ASCE, 8/11/2023 )Computer-numerical-control (CNC) fabrication of interlocking plate timber structures is a novel construction method that allows to build structural elements without mechanical fasteners: the load transfer mainly relies on ... -
Dynamic Experimental Study on RC Interior BCJs under Cyclic Loading at Column Ends
(ASCE, 8/22/2023 )Concrete and steel are typical rate-dependent materials. Therefore, the dynamic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members is inevitably affected by the loading rate. To study the effect of the loading rate on the behavior ... -
