Seismic Response of a Platform-Frame System with Steel Columns [PDF]
, 2017 Timber platform-frame shear walls are characterized by high ductility and diffuse energy dissipation but limited in-plane shear resistance. A novel lightweight constructive system composed of steel columns braced with oriented strand board (OSB) panels ...

A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Seismic Behavior of Box Steel Bridge Pier with Built-In Energy Dissipation Steel Plates
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022 Based on the design concept of earthquake-resilient structure, a new-type of box-shaped steel piers with embedded energy-dissipating steel plates was proposed.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Guided by the golden ratio, a class of aperiodic architected metamaterials is introduced to address the intrinsic trade‐off between strength and toughness. By unifying local geometric heterogeneity with global order, the golden‐ratio‐guided aperiodic architecture promotes spatial delocalization of damage tolerence regions, leading to more tortuous ...

Boundary condition effect on response modification factor of X-braced steel frames
HBRC Journal, 2018 Design of the structures to resist seismic force depends on the theory of dissipation in elastic energy that already exists in response modification factor “R-factor”.

An alternative methodology to predict aging effects on the mechanical properties of glass fiber reinforced cement (GRC) [PDF]
, 2012 The effect of three different aging methods (immersion in hot water, freeze–thaw cycles and wet–dry cycles) on the mechanical properties of GRC were studied and compared.

Shear critical R/C columns under increasing axial load [PDF]
, 2020 Structural elements in old reinforced concrete (R/C) frame buildings are often prone to shear or flexure-shear failure, which can eventually lead to loss of axial load capacity of vertical elements and initiate vertical progressive collapse of a building.

Research Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology, 2015 Converting existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) frames into RC infill walls is one of the most efficient seismic strengthening technique due to its simplicity in application providing high rigidity, stability and strength in structures. On the other hand, this method affects the seismic behavior of existing RC structure in terms of the energy dissipation ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An adapted processing for solvent‐free argyrodite solid electrolyte films based on insights into degradation mechanisms of the widely used binder polytetrafluoroethylene is presented. By adapting the dry film processing, long‐term cycling in Si||NMC pouch cells is demonstrated over more than 1000 cycles with a capacity retention of more than 80%, and ...
