Finite elements analysis of a New Moment-Resistant Connection in Precast Concrete Frames under cyclic loading [PDF]
In this paper, a 3D nonlinear finite element model of a new moment-resistance connection in precast concrete structures is developed and its behaviors in several different details of connection, under cyclic loading are studied.

Characterizing the Seismic Behavior of Guyed Masts
Guyed masts are specialised structures whose seismic performance is poorly understood. In this article, four existing guyed masts in the UK with heights ranging from 99–312 m are analyzed under various seismic loading conditions. The results are used to: gain an understanding of the magnitude and distribution of forces developed in guyed masts during ...

Seismic behavior of slender reinforced concrete walls
Abstract Residential reinforced concrete buildings performed well during the 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule, Chile earthquake. However, brittle damage was observed in reinforced concrete structural walls. The most frequent observed damage in such walls was crushing of concrete due to flexural-compressive interaction, buckling and fracture of longitudinal ...

Investigation of ground motion vertical and horizontal component effects on the IDA curves for the regular and irregular steel moment frames [PDF]
The effect of seismic vertical components on the seismic behavior of structural systems can be considerable. The vertical component of ground motion records can cause the brittle collapse of columns resulting in global collapse of structures. This effect
