Development of a Friction-Tuned Mass Damper for Remote Maintenance Systems in Fusion Reactors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThis paper presents the friction-tuned mass damper (FTMD), a sensorless and actuatorless vibration-reduction device designed for remote maintenance systems in fusion reactors. The FTMD uses sliding friction for ... -
A Feature Selection Framework for Ground Motion Intensity Measures in the Rapid Seismic Damage Prediction of Structures Based on Ensemble Learning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractIn traditional fragility analysis for regional damage assessment, low-dimensional intensity measures (IMs), such as peak ground acceleration (PGA), are typically chosen to characterize ground motion (GM) and predict ... -
Seismic Performance of Concrete Bridge Columns Reinforced with High-Strength Steel Varying Steel Geometry and Manufacturing Process
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe advantages of high-strength reinforcing steel for use in capacity-protected members are self-evident because it reduces congestion and cost. However, to extend the use of high-strength steel to members forming ... -
Spectral Analysis of Vertical Vibration Response of Footbridges under Crowd Loads Using Lyapunov Equations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractOver the years, various methodologies have emerged for assessing the effect of crowds on footbridges. Given the stochastic nature of such excitations and the desired linear behavior of the structure, employing tools ... -
Flexural Behavior and Design of Prestressed Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete Beams: Failure Mode and Ductility

Shear Capacity Analysis of PRC Coupling Beams with RC Slabs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe coupling beam serves as a critical energy dissipation component within the shear wall or core tube structural systems of high-rise buildings. Nonetheless, coupling beams are susceptible to brittle shear failure ... -
Hybrid Simulation Tests of Real-Scale Squat Reinforced Concrete Shear Wall Specimens
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Squat reinforced concrete shear walls usually have diagonal shear– or sliding shear–controlled behavior. Due to the lack of experimental data, there is uncertainty on how squat wall design parameters define their behavior ... -
Cyclic Tests Performed on Real-Scale Squat Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls: Transition between Diagonal Shear and Sliding Shear Controlled Behavior Modes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Squat reinforced concrete shear walls are commonly used as primary gravity and lateral load–resisting systems in structures. Such low aspect ratio walls respond to load in diagonal or sliding shear. A series of real-scale ... -
Influence of Doors on the In-Plane Seismic Behavior of Partition Walls
