Abstract: Experimental studies were conducted to examine the behavior of concrete-filled double-skin tube (CFDST) columns exposed to fire after being subjected to simulated seismic loads. The experiments were conducted in two separate ...

Abstract: Detailed finite-element (FE) analyses were conducted using commercial software to simulate the behavior of concrete-filled double-skin tube (CFDST) columns subjected to postearthquake fires. The main goal of these simulations ...

Abstract: Predicting the response of elastomeric seismic isolation bearings when subjected to severe ground motions is challenging due to the highly nonlinear behavior associated with the bearings under a combination of large ...

Abstract: Lead rubber bearings (LRBs) have been widely used in seismic isolation systems for buildings and other structures to effectively mitigate the damaging effects of horizontal earthquake ground shaking. The horizontal flexibility ...
