Dynamic Analysis of a Steel Floor System with Dry Slabs Subjected to Vibrations Due to Human WalkingInternational Journal of Steel Structures - - 2020
Priscilla I. S. Ribeiro, André V. S. Gomes, Adenilcia F. G. Calenzani
One of the contemporary architecture trends is the design of structural elements that cover longer clearances to provide flexibility in the architecture of buildings. The technological and constructive evolutions in civil engineering assure the feasibility of such trends due to the use of structural elements with increased slenderness and reduced weight, such as steel structures that utilize dry s...... hiện toàn bộ

An Experimental Study of an SMA-Based Self-Centering DamperInternational Journal of Steel Structures - Tập 22 - Trang 610-621 - 2022
Hongwei Ma, Jiaxin Xu, Shaofeng Li
The self-centering energy dissipation devices can reduce or avoid the residual inter-storey drifts of structures. This study aims a shape memory alloy (SMA) -based self-centering damper that employs the pre-tensioned SMA wires and pre-compressed springs as energy dissipating group and re-centering group, respectively. Compared with the conventional self-centering dampers which mainly use SMA wires...... hiện toàn bộ
Seismic retrofit of structures using steel honeycomb dampersInternational Journal of Steel Structures - Tập 17 - Trang 215-229 - 2017
Minhee Lee, Joonho Lee, Jinkoo Kim
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the seismic performance of a honeycomb shaped steel hysteretic damper applied to seismic retrofit or strengthening of a structure. The formulas for the initial stiffness and yield strength of a damper unit were derived based on the cell wall bending model, and the results were compared with those obtained from finite element analysis. Bilinear model of t...... hiện toàn bộ
Finite element investigation of shear capacity of locally corroded end panel of steel plate girderInternational Journal of Steel Structures - Tập 13 - Trang 623-633 - 2014
Nauman Khurram, Eiichi Sasaki, Hiroshi Katsuchi, Hitoshi Yamada
This study discusses the effect of local corrosion damages nearby the bearing region including the bearing stiffener and adjacent web damage on the ultimate shear and post-buckling strength of steel plate girder bridges. A computer package ABAQUS is utilized for the verification and extension of the numerical study. Various corrosion damage cases, specifically the bearing stiffener are studied con...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparative Analysis of Code-Based Dynamic Column Removal and Impact-Induced Progressive Collapse in Steel Moment-Resisting FramesInternational Journal of Steel Structures - Tập 23 - Trang 1576-1586 - 2023
Iman S. Janfada, Mohammad Reza Sheidaii, Foad Kiakojouri
Civil structures are subjected to accidental or intentional impacts, which can lead to an initial failure, and subsequently to a tragic progressive collapse. While progressive collapse studies have seen significant growth, most of the current research focuses on threat-independent approaches, neglecting the explicit consideration of impact effects on the building’s behavior. In this study, we inve...... hiện toàn bộ
Geometry and mechanical behaviour of radially retractable roof structures during the movement processInternational Journal of Steel Structures - Tập 16 - Trang 755-764 - 2016
Jianguo Cai, Yuhang Zhou, Yifeng Zhu, Jian Feng, Yixiang Xu, Jin Zhang
In this paper, the kinematic characteristic of the radially retractable roof structure was firstly discussed and the motion boundary of the system was also studied. The results show that the diameter of the outer boundary of the system increases firstly and then decreases when the roof is open. Moreover, the numerical study of the structural behavior of the retractable roof with radial foldable ba...... hiện toàn bộ
