Higher Mode Effects on Shear Amplification and Seismic Performance of RC Shear Walls Subjected to Western North American Ground Motions

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
In this study, the inelastic shear amplification and seismic performance of reinforced concrete shear walls (RCSWs) in western North America, designed according to Canadian seismic codes, were evaluated using nonlinear time history analyses (NLTHAs) and performance‐based design guidelines.

Plastic Behavior and Design Methodology for Curved Members in Seismic Applications

open access: yesJAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 9, Issue 1, January–December 2026.
This study investigated the plastic behavior of curved members through static analysis and extensive parametric studies, focusing on initial elastic stiffness, plastic strength, slenderness effects, and section compactness. Estimation equations were developed and validated, contributing to the development of a connection design methodology that ...

Numerical analysis and parametric study on stainless steel replaceable shear link under cyclic loading

open access: yesDiscover Civil Engineering
This study presents a numerical comparison of replaceable shear link beams made of two grades of stainless-steel duplex S2205 and austenitic S31608, to that of conventional cast steel (G20Mn5QT) under cyclic seismic loading. 3D finite element models were

Impact of Force‐Based, Performance‐Based, and Performance‐Based Plastic Design and Ground Motion Records on Deviation of Engineering Demand Parameters in Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Performance‐based design (PBD) is widely seen as a superior alternative to force‐based design (FBD), yet no standard procedure exists for its implementation. In contrast, performance‐based plastic design (PBPD) has emerged as a theoretically robust and user‐friendly design method.

The influence of the axial restraint on the overstrength of short links

open access: yes, 2021
Eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) constitute a good structural solution located between Moment Resisting Frames (MRFs) and Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) because they exhibit an adequate lateral stiffness joined with a high ductility capacity ...

Seismic Design Gaps and Link Innovations: Evaluating Gusset Connected Box and I‐Shaped Links in Multi‐Tiered EBFs

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study addresses a critical gap in seismic design codes by evaluating the nonlinear performance of multi‐tiered eccentrically braced frames (MT‐EBFs) and offering practical recommendations for future provisions. MT‐EBFs, an advanced variation of conventional EBFs, incorporate multiple tiers of links and braces within a single story, making them ...

Behaviour factor for light frame timber shear walls in the context of the second generation of the Eurocode

open access: yes, 2023
For the seismic design of timber buildings, force-based design is predominant. Therefore, the behaviour factor q is of great importance in determining the action.

NiCu/Al2O3 Bimetallic Catalysts for Reductive Amination of Polyether 230: Synergistic Effects of Alloy Formation and Amorphous Support Properties

open access: yesJournal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The development of efficient and scalable catalysts for polyether amine (PEA) synthesis via reductive amination remains an enduring industrial challenge. In this study, bimetallic NiCu alloys supported on amorphous alumina were rationally designed for the amination of low‐molecular‐weight polyether (PPG‐230).

A SHORT ANALYSIS OF THE OVERSTRENGTH FACTOR,  ̃, ADDRESSING SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION EFFECTS

open access: yesProceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction
Currently, some design requirement documents, such as ASCE-7 Standard, still rely on design criteria based on the determination of forces to establish demands to provide adequate structural stiffness and strength. Acknowledging from past seismic events that structures can actually withstand forces of a greater magnitude than that for which they were ...
