Collapse of Existing Bridges: From the Lesson of La Reale Viaduct to the Definition of a Partial Safety Coefficient of Variable Traffic Loads
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)From the post-war period to present day, economic development and urbanization have led to various demands for infrastructure, including bridges and viaducts. However, especially in recent years, there have been reports ... -
Dry-Stack Masonry Wall Modeling Using Finite-Element Method
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)Masonry has been used throughout the world and in heritage and historical structures. For this study, two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear finite-element models based on a micromodeling approach were constructed in order to model ... -
Force-Based Design Method for Force-Limiting Deformable Connections in Earthquake-Resistant Buildings
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)This paper proposes a force-based design method for force-limiting deformable connections that are used to transfer seismic-induced horizontal forces from the floor diaphragms in buildings to the vertical elements of lateral ... -
Cyclic Test and Seismic Equivalency Evaluation of High-Capacity Light Wood-Frame Shear Walls for Midrise Buildings
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Recent editions of Canadian national building codes increased the height limit for wood-frame construction from four to six stories. In addition, the seismic loads have also been increased. These increases in building ... -
Structural Performance of Cold-Formed High-Strength Steel Circular Hollow Sections under Combined Compression and Bending
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)The ultimate strengths of cold-formed high-strength steel (CFHSS) circular hollow section (CHS) beam-columns have been experimentally and numerically studied in this investigation. The steel grades of CHS members were S700, ... -
Steel Sheet Sheathed Cold-Formed Steel Framed In-line Wall Systems. II: Impact of Nonstructural Detailing
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Although cold-formed steel (CFS) framing systems have the potential to support the need for resilient housing, the use of CFS has been restricted due to gaps in understanding its structural behavior and by the limited ... -
Steel Sheet Sheathed Cold-Formed Steel Framed In-line Wall Systems. I: Impact of Structural Detailing
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)The North American construction industry has seen substantial growth in the use of cold-formed steel (CFS) framing for midrise buildings in recent years. In seismic zones, CFS-framed buildings utilize shear walls to provide ... -
Lateral Torsional Buckling Response of Compact I-Shaped Welded Steel Girders
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Recent studies investigating lateral torsional buckling suggest that North American steel design provisions may overestimate the bending resistance of welded girders that buckle laterally in the inelastic range. Furthermore, ... -
Experimental Investigation on Fire Behavior and Quantitative Restraint Forces of Steel–Concrete Composite Floor Systems
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)A special testing apparatus was designed and employed to explore the fire behavior of a steel–concrete composite floor system with boundary restraints and to measure the variation in the restraint forces induced by fire. ... -
Steel-Plate Composite Walls Subjected to Missile Impact: Numerical Evaluation of Local Damage
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)This paper presents the results from numerical investigations conducted to evaluate the local damage and perforation of steel-plate composite (SC) walls subjected to missile impact. Numerical models of laboratory-scale SC ... -
Probabilistic Building Functionality Estimation Framework for Buildings Subjected to Hurricane Winds
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Buildings are vulnerable to extreme winds, both physically and functionally. Although many studies exist on buildings’ structural and interior damage modeling, limited research exists on the modeling of buildings’ functionality ... -
A Collapse Mechanics-Based Criterion for the Optimal Proportioning of Steel Moment Frames Subjected to Earthquakes
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Given a certain steel budget, what is the optimal way of distributing it over the height of a steel moment frame building to maximize collapse resistance during earthquakes? An optimality criterion based on the mechanics ... -
Refined Peridynamic Modeling of Bond-Slip Behaviors between Ribbed Steel Rebar and Concrete in Pull-Out Tests
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Peridynamics (PD) has been increasingly used to study the damage behaviors of reinforced concrete (RC) structures due to its strong capacity in analyzing discontinuous problems. In this paper, bond-based peridynamics (BPD) ... -
Analytical Evaluation of Corrosion-Induced Strength Degradation in Prestressed Bridge Girders
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)This paper uses nonlinear analysis to determine the impact of corrosion-induced damage on the load-carrying capacity of prestressed concrete bridge girders. The analyses rely on two types of models, namely, beam models and ... -
