Shaking Table Test Using Full-scale Model for Lateral Resistance Force of Ballasted Tracks During Earthquake

open access: yesProcedia Engineering, 2016
In Japan where large earthquakes frequently occur, it is important to increase the resistibility of railway structures to earthquakes. The authors performed a shaking table test using a full-scale model to evaluate the lateral resistance force of the ...

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.

Numerical method for evaluating the lateral resistance of sleepers in ballasted tracks

open access: yesSoils and Foundations, 2014
Ballasted track sleepers have the important function of providing sufficient lateral resistance to prevent the lateral movement of rails. If the lateral force induced by the thermal expansion of steel rails overcomes the lateral resistance of sleepers ...

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 ...

High-rise modular buildings with innovative precast concrete shear walls as a lateral force resisting system [PDF]

open access: yesStructures, 2020
Modular construction has been widely adopted for low-to-medium-rise buildings, but fairly limited for high-rises. A particular knowledge gap resides with the lateral force resistance of modular high-rises. Most such buildings adopt cast-in-situ cores for

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.
