Abstract: AbstractThe composite plate shear walls/concrete-filled (C-PSW/CF) system consists of steel faceplates with concrete infill sandwiched between them. This structural system has garnered international attention, generating ...

Abstract: A procedure for estimating the number of simultaneously yielding stories NSYS in a shear-type building subjected to earthquake-base excitation (previously proposed and validated) is used here for estimating axial force ...

Abstract: No prevailing method is currently available for reducing the seismic response acceleration parameters PGA, SS, and S1 from the probabilistic seismic hazard values used for permanent bridge design to levels suitable for ...

Abstract: Quasi-static experiments were conducted to subject buckling restrained braces (BRBs) to a regime of relative end displacements demands to investigate if the BRBs’ end connections could be able to sustain the required ...

Abstract: AbstractComposite plate shear walls–concrete filled (C-PSW/CFs) consist of two steel faceplates with concrete infill between them. They are also known as SpeedCore due to their capacity to significantly accelerate construction ...

Abstract: This state-of-the-art review provides an overview of the evolution of seismic design requirements for main steel building seismic force–resisting systems, as driven by new developments, the 1994 Northridge, California, ...

Abstract: AbstractMultihazard wind and ice accretion pose risks to lattice steel transmission tower systems, which are the most common supporting structures for high-voltage overhead lines. This study investigated these risks within ...
