On the Origin of I Beams and Quick Analysis on the Structural Efficiency of Hot-rolled Steel Members [PDF]

, 2017
In the current paper the origin of steel I beams has been analysed from historical-technological and structural points of view. First, the way leading to discover the most famous structural member of the modern Steel Engineering has been reconstructed ...

Shake-table tests of a reinforced concrete frame designed following modern codes: seismic performance and damage evaluation [PDF]

, 2014
This paper presents shake-table tests conducted on a two-fifths-scale reinforced concrete frame representing a conventional construction design under current building code provisions in the Mediterranean area. The structure was subjected to a sequence of

Seismic Performance and Failure Mechanism of Megabraced Frame-Core Tube Structures with Different Brace Patterns

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2018
The effect of mega braces on structural stiffness has been comprehensively discussed for various megabraced frame-core tube structures. However, few studies have considered how mega braces affect the failure mechanism of mega structures exposed to ...

Seismic Retrofit Case Study of Reinforced Concrete Bridges with Buckling Restrained Braces [PDF]

, 2017
Many highway bridges in Oregon have been designed with minimal considerations for seismic hazard and are in need of retrofit. Although buckling restrained braces (BRBs) are not necessarily a new concept, using them to seismically retrofit bridges is ...

Seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete frames in Australia [PDF]

, 2008
Many intra-tectonic plate regions are considered to have low to moderate seismic risk. However, devastating earthquakes can occur in these regions and result in high consequences in terms of casualties and damage.

On the seismic design of one-story precast structures for P-Δ effects [PDF]

, 2017
P-Δ effects can reduce the seismic safety of structures under seismic actions and they can be vital for one-story precast buildings because of the large flexibility of columns. According to European building code, P-Δ effects can be taken into account by

Seismic vulnerability analysis of steel buildings in Bogotá, Colombia [PDF]

, 2012
A number of mid-height steel buildings have been erected recently in Bogotá. Their seismic risk might be high, given the new microzonation of Bogotá and the lack of previous studies; remarkably, the response reduction factors were commonly obtained from ...

Performance-Based Seismic Design and Assessment of Bridges [PDF]

, 2015
Current trends in the seismic design and assessment of bridges are discussed, with emphasis on two procedures that merit some particular attention, displacement-based procedures and deformation-based procedures.
