Abstract Quantitative risk assessments of chemicals are routinely performed using in vivo data from rodents; however, there is growing recognition that non‐animal approaches can be human‐relevant alternatives. There is an urgent need to build confidence in non‐animal alternatives given the international support to reduce the use of animals in toxicity ...

A Macro‐Model for Simulating Gusset Plate Buckling in Buckling‐Restrained Braced Frame Buildings
ABSTRACT 2D models, which are conventionally employed for the seismic performance assessment of buckling‐restrained braced frame (BRBF) buildings, are incapable of simulating the out‐of‐plane buckling of gusset plates. This study presents a novel 3D macro‐modelling approach capable of capturing the out‐of‐plane buckling of gusset plates in BRBFs.
