Axial Compressive Mechanical Behaviors of a Double-Layer Member
(ASCE, 6/7/2023 1)The instability of structural members under axial compression most likely causes spatial structural collapse. Therefore, the configuration of double-layer members (DLMs) is proposed in this study to improve the stability ... -
Experimental Investigation of the Shear Resistance Mechanism on Hybrid NSC-UHPC Predamaged and Undamaged Unidirectional Bridge Slabs
(ASCE, 7/13/2023 )This paper investigates the shear behavior of unidirectional hybrid slabs made of a normal-strength concrete (NSC) substrate and an ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) overlay on the tensile side. The impacts of two ... -
Classification and Identification of Buckling Modes of Steel Columns under Cyclic Loading
(ASCE, 5/19/2023 )Wide-flange columns are commonly used for the construction of special moment frames and braced frames. For special moment frames, design engineers routinely use deep sections to meet the stringent code-specified story drift ... -
Simplified Method for the Preliminary Design of Shear-Controlling Rocking-Isolation Podium Systems for Tall Buildings
(ASCE, 8/31/2023 )Base dual-mechanism systems that limit both shear force and overturning moment demands are being developed as a new class of seismic force–resisting systems to enhance the control of seismic demands at the base and along ... -
Nonlinear Wind Tunnel Tests of Cable-Supported Bridges
(ASCE, 8/3/2023 1)Following the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge due to an aeroelastic instability, it has been common practice to test cable-supported bridges in a wind tunnel to check the soundness of bridge designs with respect to ... -
Displacement Estimation of a Skyscraper during Super Typhoon Mangkhut Based on Limited Measurements of Accelerations and Strains
(ASCE, 8/12/2023 )This paper develops a horizontal displacement estimation framework for wind-excited high-rise buildings based on limited measurements of accelerations and strains and applies it to reconstruct the displacement responses ... -
Clustering and Selection of Hurricane Wind Records Using Autoencoder and k-Means Algorithm
(ASCE, 5/19/2023 )In wind engineering, to accurately estimate the nonlinear dynamic response of structures while considering uncertainties of hurricanes, a suite of wind records representing the hurricane hazards of a given location is of ... -
Local Buckling of Axially Compressed Welded H-Section Stub Columns Using Q420–Q960 Steel
(ASCE, 6/23/2023 )There is a lack of reliable research regarding the current engineering specifications considering the broad applications of high-strength steel (HSS) in civil engineering. Axial compression tests were performed on 12 HSS ... -
Data Set from Long-Term Wave, Wind, and Response Monitoring of the Bergsøysund Bridge
(ASCE, 6/17/2023 )Wind, wave, displacement, and acceleration data have been collected in a measurement campaign on Norway’s Bergsøysund Bridge, an end-supported pontoon bridge, between the years 2014 and 2018. The data set is now available ... -
Finite Element Detailed Micromodeling of Unreinforced Earth Block Masonry
(ASCE, 4/26/2023 )The structural response of earth block masonry is characterized by cracking patterns and inelastic behavior distributed across masonry units, mortar joints, and unit-mortar interfaces. This behavior is different from that ... -
