Utilizing Gusset Plates as Ductile Beam‐to‐Column Connections to Improve the Behavior of Steel Moment‐Resisting Frames

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
An innovative gusset plate connection, which acts as a rigid connection, was proposed and investigated parametrically and numerically. Also, the required equations to design the system were proposed. Results indicated that the gusset plate yields a ductile fuse while the beam and column remain elastic.

Anchorage System Contribution to Post‐Tensioned Bridge Collapse

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This paper presents an experimental investigation of a 1960s precast post‐tensioned girder bridge in Trstena, Slovakia, revealing severe corrosion and anchorage degradation that ultimately led to its collapse. The findings highlight critical vulnerabilities in obsolete anchorage systems and emphasize the need for proactive assessment and maintenance of

Research Progress on Shear Characteristics and Rapid Post-Disaster Construction of Narrow-Width Steel Box–UHPC Composite Beams

Buildings
The narrow-width steel box girder is an important type of steel–concrete composite bridge structure, which is usually composed of reinforced concrete wing plates, narrow steel boxes partially injected with concrete, and shear connectors that promote ...

Vertical‐Component Seismic Response and System Identification of a 52‐Story High‐Rise Building Using Earthquake Data

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This study investigates the vertical dynamic response of a 52‐story high‐rise building in downtown Los Angeles using small‐magnitude earthquake data recorded by the Community Seismic Network. While seismic design traditionally emphasizes horizontal ground motion, vertical accelerations can have a significant impact on tall structures, leading to ...

MACHINE LEARNING APPLICATIONS FOR EVALUATING FIRE PERFORMANCE OF STEEL‐FRAMED BUILDINGS: A REVIEW

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 412-423, April 2026.
Abstract Machine Learning (ML) is increasingly applied to evaluate the fire performance of steel‐framed buildings, from predicting material behaviour at elevated temperatures to estimating member resistance and system‐level collapse. Recent advances include interpretable models, physics‐informed methods, and emerging surrogate strategies that embed ...

OPTIMAL HEIGHT OF STEEL PLATE GIRDERS WITH CORRUGATED WEBS

Bulletin of Odessa State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture, 2020
Abstract. This work is carried out in order to study the classical problem of determining the optimal height of a plate girder with given moment of resistance in relation to the features of the real operation of a beam with a corrugated web. A bi-symmetric plate girder with a wavy web is considered.

Modeling the response of UHPC shear‐critical beams: Integrating nonlinear finite element analysis and artificial neural network

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 1364-1382, April 2026.
Abstract An analytical framework suited for the analysis of shear‐critical ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) members is presented. The numerical methodology utilizes a nonlinear finite element analysis formulation integrated with an artificial neural network (ANN) that characterizes the UHPC tension response based on its mix design. In addition, a

Dual potential capacity model for short and deep reinforced concrete members containing steel fibers

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 2675-2703, April 2026.
Abstract This study presents an analytical model for estimating the shear strength of short and deep steel fiber‐reinforced concrete (SFRC) members with a shear span‐to‐depth ratio less than 2.5. To this end, a dual potential capacity model (DPCM) is developed based on the demand‐capacity approach for evaluating the shear strength of SFRC beams that ...
