RISLarge-Scale Experimental Study of Ring Shaped–Steel Plate Shear Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The ring shaped–steel plate shear wall (RS-SPSW) is a new lateral load resisting system that offers improved seismic energy dissipation and stiffness over conventional steel plate shear wall systems. Thicker web plates ...
Experimental Study on the Limit States of Butterfly-Shaped Structural Fuses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractStructural fuses are replaceable elements of a structure that are designed to yield
and protect the surrounding members from damage and then be replaceable after a major
seismic event. One type of structural fuse ...
Experimental Evaluation of Replaceable Energy Dissipation Connection for Moment-Resisting Composite Steel Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There is increasing recognition that conventional ductility-based design of structures for collapse prevention may not be sufficient in a modern society that demands higher-performing alternatives. Such a reality has ...
Stability and Adequate Bracing Design of Pretensioned Cable-Braced Inverted-Y-Shaped Ferris Wheel Support System Using Matrix Structural Second-Order Analysis Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Elastic buckling and second-order analyses are conducted using the matrix structural analysis approach for the in-plane and out-of-plane stability and adequate bracing design of a new type of Ferris wheel support system ...
Design of Pre-Tensioned Cable-Stayed Buckling-Restrained Braces Considering Interrelationship between Bracing Strength and Stiffness Requirements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The conventional restraining ratio approach is not suitable for a straightforward design of the pre-tensioned cable-stayed buckling-restrained brace (PCS-BRB) because of its complicated buckling-restrained system. This ...
