Experimental Characterization of a Full‐Scale Stair System Detailed to Achieve Seismic Resiliency

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stair systems are the primary means of egress in and out of a building during and after an earthquake. Therefore, it is essential to detail these critical nonstructural systems such that they remain operable during and after an earthquake of moderate to high levels of intensity.

Hybrid thermocouple development program [PDF]

open access: yes
The design and development of a hybrid thermocouple, having a segmented SiGe-PbTe n-leg encapsulated within a hollow cylindrical p-SiGe leg, is described. Hybrid couple efficiency is calculated to be 10% to 15% better than that of a all-SiGe couple.

Seismic Performance of Lightweight Steel Shear Walls With Gypsum Sheathing: Experimental Investigation

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the structural performance of cold‐formed steel (CFS) shear walls sheathed with gypsum panels, in accordance with the forthcoming Eurocode 8 seismic design guidelines for ductility class 3 (DC3) buildings. Utilizing a multiscale experimental approach, the research involved material testing, component‐level evaluations ...

Seismic Capacity and Performance of Waffle‐Flat Plate Structures Under Near‐Fault Ground Motions: Bidirectional Shake Table Tests

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A reinforced concrete waffle‐flat plate structure was subjected to a sequence of bidirectional near‐fault ground motions on a shake table until collapse. The test specimen was designed under current building codes and assigned a region of moderate seismicity.
