• Pseudo-static cyclic tests on Cross-Lam Timber (CLT) and Light Frame (LTF) shear walls. Decomposition of the post-elastic displacement into sliding, rocking deformation components. Similarity two structural responses due to same resisting mechanism. A capacity model based sole hold-down reaction seizes overall response. The estimated overstrength factors manifests intrinsic differences betwee...

Both experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) was used to study the seismic response of reinforced concrete (RC) interior slab-column connection made with pyramid-shaped drop panel subjected vertical horizontal loads. The dimensions models at “¼ ” linear scale for laboratory testing FE Analysis are derived from rules column drops, given a prototype “9.60m” grid slab thickness “320mm”. Lab...

Multi-level shaking table tests were performed on a 1:3 reduced scale two-story reinforced concrete (RC) intermediate moment resisting frame (IMRF) conforming to the requirements given in ACI-318-19. The exterior joints lacked shear reinforcement assess viability of ACI model recommended for determining design strength beam–column joint panel.

Knowledge of the yield point and ductility of a structure is important in seismic design. The yield point of an assembly is defined as a point where it begins to plastically deform, while ductility describes its ability to yield without substantial reduction in strength. These parameters can be determined from the analysis of the load-deformation curves resulting from destructive tests. To date...

In this paper, the authors summarize the results of a parametric study devoted to evaluate the seismic behavior of low to medium rise regular special moment-resisting steel frames with hysteretic energy dissipation devices mounted on chevron steel bracing. For that purpose, 270 different building models were designed considering typical story heights and bay widths used in Mexican practice. The...

Regulation for calculating earthquake forces building in Indonesia keep developing. SNI 1726-2019 is the lastest regulation which has a return period of 2500 years, while 1726-2002 500 years. So old have to be strengthened. Steel braces good option resist lateral forces. In value response modification factor (R), overstrength (Ω0), and deflection amplification (Cd) eccentrically braced concrete...
