RISSeismic Behavior and Functional Loss of Swing-Type Steel Doors within Partition Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractDoors, with a focus on swing-type steel doors in this study, serve as critical passageways
for escape and rescue during earthquakes. However, operational difficulties with doors
have been reported in existing ...
Seismic Capacity Quantification of Gusset-Plate Connections to Fracture for Ductility-Based Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study on the seismic performance up to fracture of gusset-plate brace connections. During the inelastic behavior of a bracing member (e.g., buckling), weak-axis bending in the gusset ...
Degradation of Wind and Seismic Resistance of Metal Roof–Photovoltaic System Connections by Repeated Wind Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThe standing seam metal roof (SSMR) system, widely used in long-span buildings, is
highly susceptible to long-term wind loads. The integration of a roof-top photovoltaic
(PV) system into an SSMR system fundamentally ...
Postearthquake Strength Assessment of Steel Moment-Resisting Frame with Multiple Beam-Column Fractures Using Local Monitoring Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Quantitative reports on postearthquake infrastructure condition are valuable to engineers, building owners, local government entities, and the public. Despite their utility, sensor-based protocols have not been widely ...
Development of a Minimal-Disturbance Rehabilitation System for Sustaining Bidirectional Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A light-weight and rapid seismic rehabilitation technique, named biaxial minimal-disturbance arm damper (biMDAD), is developed to upgrade steel buildings that are weak for seismically-induced force in two orthogonal frame ...
