RISNew Macroelement for Modeling Inelastic Shear–Flexure–Axial Interaction and Elongation of Plastic Hinges for Reliable Seismic Performance Assessment of RC Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractModeling plasticity in reinforced concrete structures is a challenging task due to
the intricate behavior of concrete and reinforcing steel, and interaction between
them. Although the distributed plasticity approach ...
Validation of a Numerical Model for Prediction of Out-of-Plane Instability in Ductile Structural Walls under Concentric In-Plane Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Instability failure (also referred to as out-of-plane instability) has been observed in several experimental studies conducted on seismic performance of rectangular structural walls under in-plane loading. Observation of ...
Shake Table Tests of a Three-Story Steel Structure with RSFJ
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractAs part of the Robust Building Systems (ROBUST) research program, several innovative
seismic-resisting systems based on friction dampers were tested on a shake table for
the first time. The tests examined whether ...
