Abstract: The effect of in‐plane roof bracing rigidity on the stability of columns in one‐story industrial buildings with light roofing is investigated. To simplify the analysis, expressions for the equivalent constants of the springs ...

Abstract: Several continuum methods for torsional analysis of slender perforated cores are described. First, the open section torsion‐bending theory, which neglects shear deformations, is described. It is then modified to consider ...

Abstract: This paper studies the seismic response of structure-elevator systems. Dynamic models are developed to represent the structure and elevator counterweight subsystems, with nonlinear contact elements between the counterweight ...
