AbstractIn this study, new steel material classes were added to the OpenSees 3.0.0 library to model their behavior within cold-formed profiles under high temperatures. The new material classes that were…
AbstractThis paper presents an experimental study on the seismic behavior of polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) fiber–reinforced polymer (FRP)-jacketed circular reinforced-concrete (RC) columns. A total of seven specimens were tested under constant…
AbstractSeveral recent research studies have demonstrated that the seismic performance of low-aspect-ratio reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls (i.e., defined herein as walls with height-to-length ratios less than 2) has not been…
AbstractThis paper presents a proposed design methodology which combines the fire beam element (FBE) for skeletal frame analysis with the slab panel method (SPM) for floor experiencing catenary action. The…
AbstractControlled rocking systems in a variety of materials have been demonstrated to be highly effective in resisting seismic forces. In a controlled rocking system, uplift of the wall or frame…
AbstractEarthquake-induced soil liquefaction can cause soil settlement around piles, resulting in drag load and pile settlement after shaking stops. Estimating the axial load distribution and pile settlement is important for…
AbstractThis paper examines the seismic performance of a bridge–helical pile foundation based on the seismic fragility analysis, considering the element fragility of a coupled bridge–soil–foundation system. Nonlinear time history analyses…
AbstractUnbonded posttensioned controlled rocking masonry walls (PT-CRMWs) have been increasingly studied in the last decades due to their promising results regarding seismic resilience. However, implementing posttensioning (PT) has still some…
AbstractNonlinear, effective stress finite-element analyses are used to model earthquake-induced displacements at lateral spread sites near a free face. The numerical analyses consist of 132 models with model geometries selected…
AbstractDuring the last years, several mechanics-based macromodels have been proposed to assess the cyclic response of infilled RC frames. However, the uncertainties behind the assumptions on damage and failure mechanisms…
