Modular systems have been mostly researched in relatively low-rise structures but, lately, their applications to mid- to high-rise structures began to be reviewed, and research interest in new modularization subjects has increased. The application of modular systems to mid- to high-rise structures requires the structural stability of the frame and connections that consist of units, and the eval...

Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are one of the most economical and under-utilized lateral load resisting systems currently available to structural engineers. In comparison with traditional lateral load systems, such as steel braced frames, reinforced concrete walls and moment resisting frames, SPSWs have fewer costly detailing requirements, require less stringent construction tolerances, allow ...

Precast Steel-Reinforced Concrete (PSRC) structural frame systems for moment-resisting, comprised of Prefabricated Steel (S) girders and Reinforced Cement (RCC) columns. This system has the advantage inherent stiffness damping during a seismic event. PSRC’s moment-resisting is also known its construction efficiency, lightweight, low cost. Earlier investigations have shown PSRC helpful in design...

Background: Different bracing systems of steel Eccentric Braces (EBs) and steel-concrete Buckling-Restrained (BRBs) can be used in frames order to make the stronger resisting lateral loads. These with EBs or BRBs are generally called Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) (BRBFs), respectively. Objective: This study aims investigate having moment link. Methods: The EBFs BRBFs nonlinearly analysed e...

Wind and earthquake disasters in the world often cause billions of dollars of damage to buildings, most of which is to non-engineered buildings-especially homes. Wood-frame homes use connectors which exhibit partial rotational rigidity at the member ends, making analytical solutions difficult. This is due to the lack of information about the complex behavior of the connections used in this type...

This paper presents the seismic performance of moment-resisting timber frame (MRTF). In Japanese urban areas, there are many small houses, and it is difficult to design a wooden building ensure both comfortable plan that effectively makes use constrained sites, also lacks flexibility in design. Therefore, expectations rising for high MRTF using residential members. this study, clarify dynamic b...

In this paper, the seismic performance of reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame with cold-joint subjected to monotonic lateral load has been studied numerically using Pushover analysis. Two modes fracture may occur for in a in-plane loading. The are Mode-I (stress orthogonal local plane crack surface) and Mode-II parallel surface but front). order model verify its behavior mode I II mechan...
