Abstract: A weak‐beam‐strong‐column philosophy is generally recommended for the design of earthquake‐resistant multistory structures, because the associated overall collapse mechanism exhibits a high ductility against a strong ground ...

Abstract: In long suspension bridges with a small span ratio of side to center, cable slip load against the saddle is large and it is important to grasp its frictional resistance in the design. An experimental investigation is done ...

Abstract: To increase the frictional resistance between a cable and saddle, a method using a horizontal friction plate is efficient. However, there is no precedent for its use on long suspension bridges. An experimental investigation ...
