Implications of Lateral Coupler Forces for Rail Vehicle Curving Resistance

Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics, 2021
Abstract Curving resistance is an important topic that requires a lot more research. This paper studied the implications of lateral coupler forces for curving resistance. More than 1800 simulations were conducted using a three-piece bogie wagon model developed in the simpack software package.

Use of Garage Doors to Resist Lateral Forces

Improving the Seismic Performance of Existing Buildings and Other Structures, 2009
Existing wood-panel, sectional, overhead garage doors have been shown in preliminary proof-of-concept testing to be effective as load transfer and energy dissipation elements in soft-story, wood-framed buildings. Such doors performed surprisingly well and, with further development of uplift restraint devices and additional testing, may be recommended ...

Architectural Precast Panel Systems Used For Lateral Force Resistance

Structures Congress 2009, 2009
Precast exterior wall panels in multi-story buildings are typically supported by the building structure and serve the purpose of building enclosure and aesthetics. Precast, however, is a strong and stiff material and can also provide structural strength and stiffness to a building.

Experimental Study and Seismic Design of Swing Story-Lateral Force Resisting Structural System

International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics, 2023
A seismic vibration control system, consisting of a swing story substructure, a lateral force resisting substructure and connecting dampers, is recently proposed. The analytical model and optimization method based on the stability maximization and H2 criteria have been established.

Monolayer Cable-Stayed Steel Moment Resistant Frame and its Lateral Force Resisting Performance

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2015
A new lateral force resisting system (LFRS), referred to as the monolayer cable-stayed steel moment resistant frame (MCSMRF) system, is proposed in order to improve capacity of original MRF system and reduce lateral displacement of the system effectively. The MCSMRF integrates the respective advantages of both the steel moment resistant frame (MRF) and

Residential Lateral-Force-Resisting Systems — Is There Care in the Standard of Care?

Structures Congress 2006, 2006
The design and construction of wind-force resisting elements in detached modern single- family residences frequently is under-appreciated, and, more alarmingly, completely ignored by design professionals. Both architects and engineers must acknowledge and design for lateral forces with the appropriate force resisting systems.
