Seismic analysis of pile in liquefiable soil and plastic hinge [PDF]

Geotechnical Research, 2017
Liquefaction is one of the leading seismic actions that cause extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure during earthquakes. In many historic cases, plastic hinge formations in piles were observed at inexplicable locations. This project investigated the behaviour of piled foundations within soils susceptible to liquefaction by using numerical ...

Plastic hinge locations in steel columns

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2010
Some standards for the design of steel structures attempt to encourage column yielding at the member ends, rather than along the column length during inelastic action such as may occur during strong earthquake shaking. In this paper, effects of residual stress and stability are considered separately and then combined to obtain equations that are more ...

Analytical Study Regarding the Seismic Response of a Moment-Resisting (MR) Reinforced Concrete (RC) Frame System with Reduced Cross Sections of the RC Beams

Buildings, 2022
In the last few decades, a series of earthquakes were recorded which pointed out several deficiencies regarding the ductile seismic response of MR RC frame structures.

Strain and crack development in continuous reinforced concrete slabs subjected to catenary action [PDF]

, 2015
Several structural calamities in the second half of the 20th century have shown that adequate collapse-resistance cannot be achieved by designing the individual elements of a structure without taking their interconnectivity into consideration.

An investigation of the effectiveness of the framing systems in steel structures subjected to blast loading

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2014
The effectiveness of different framing systems for three seismically designed steel frame structures subjected to blast loading is investigated. The three faming systems considered are: a moment resisting frame (MRF), a concentrically braced frame (CBF ...

Influence of increasing differential settlement under columns on a RC frame response considering different support conditions [PDF]

Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2019
Natural hazards and human activities bring about overall or local ground subsidence. Predicting the effects of large differential settlement on response of structural frames, especially in congested urban areas, is a main issue in design process as ...

Metallic tube type energy absorbers: a synopsis [PDF]

, 2007
This paper presents an overview of energy absorbers in the form of tubes in which the material used is predominantly mild steel and/or aluminium. A brief summary is also made of frusta type energy absorbers.

Discrete mechanical growth model for plant tissue.

PLoS ONE, 2019
We present a discrete mechanical model to study plant development. The method is built up of mass points, springs and hinges mimicking the plant cell wall's microstructure. To model plastic growth the resting lengths of springs are adjusted; when springs

Nonlinear modeling of the cyclic response of RC columns [PDF]

, 2012
Cyclic load reversals (like those induced by earthquakes) result in accelerated bond degradation, leading to significant bar slippage. The bond-slip mechanism is reported to be one of the most common causes of damage and even collapse of existing RC ...
