Abstract: This paper presents and discusses the results of a numerical study on seismic deformation demand to sheathed cold-formed steel structures. It is part of a wider research, involving also physical tests on oriented strand ...

Abstract: The paper presents the results of an experimental study on the seismic behavior of cold-formed steel stud shear walls, sheathed with wood-based [oriented strand board (OSB)], and gypsum-based (wallboard) panels. Tests were ...

Abstract: Two lateral-loading inelastic tests on a real masonry-infilled reinforced concrete (RC) building are presented. The first test has been carried out on the original building. Extensive damage to both masonry panels and RC ...

Abstract: The search for innovative methods to ensure high structural, technological, and environmental performance is an important issue in the development of new construction. Among the several available building systems, constructions ...
