RISExperimental Database for Steel Flush End-Plate Connections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A comprehensive experimental database of bare steel and composite flush end-plate (FEP) connections, covering tests conducted within the last 50 years, was collated and made public. The database includes deduced and ...
Semirigid Bolted Endplate Moment Connections: Review and Experimental-Based Assessment of Available Predictive Models
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Semirigid bolted endplate moment connections are widely used in construction practice. These connections are mainly designed to resist gravity, wind, and low to moderate seismic loads. In elastoplastic designs and nonlinear ...
ANN-Based Model for Predicting the Nonlinear Response of Flush Endplate Connections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Predicting the moment-rotation response parameters of semirigid steel connections can be challenging given the many components contributing to the connection’s elastic and plastic deformations. This is the case for the ...
Full-Scale Testing of Deep Wide-Flange Steel Columns under Multiaxis Cyclic Loading: Loading Sequence, Boundary Effects, and Lateral Stability Bracing Force Demands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper discusses the findings from 10 full-scale steel column tests subjected to multiaxis cyclic loading. The columns use deep wide-flange cross sections typically seen in steel moment-resisting frames designed in ...
Improved Seismic Design and Nonlinear Modeling Recommendations for Wide-Flange Steel Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the findings of parametric finite-element (FE) simulations of more than 5 wide-flange steel columns under cyclic loading. The column sizes, which are mostly highly ductile according to the current design ...
Review of Transverse Reinforcement Requirements for Precast Load-Bearing Wall Panels with Large Openings under Compression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Precast concrete load-bearing wall panels have been used for decades with unparalleled success due to their architectural versatility, thermal insulation, ease of production and erection, and structural performance. According ...
Role of Cementation and Suction in the Swelling Behavior of Lime-Treated Expansive Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When cured in the field, unsaturated lime-treated expansive soils will undergo concurrent development of lime cementation and suction stress. This study aims to assess the relative roles of lime cementation and suction ...
Experimental Evaluation and Numerical Modeling of Wide-Flange Steel Columns Subjected to Constant and Variable Axial Load Coupled with Lateral Drift Demands
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents results from an experimental evaluation on the pre- and post-buckling behavior of 12 steel wide-flange cantilever columns under axial load and lateral drift demands. The influence of several loading and ...
Hysteretic Behavior of Moment-Resisting Frames Considering Slab Restraint and Framing Action
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper examines the influence of framing action and slab continuity on the hysteretic behavior of composite steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) by means of high-fidelity continuum finite-element (CFE) analyses of ...
Proposed Panel Zone Model for Seismic Design of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes a new mechanics-based model for the seismic design of beam-to-column panel zone joints in steel moment-resisting frames. The model is based on realistic shear stress distributions retrieved from continuum ...
