Dissipation of seismic energy through large plastic deformations in ductile elements is a key approach to provide structural safety in strong earthquakes. Steel buckling- [...]

The seismic design provisions of the 2015 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) for single-storey steel buildings with flexible metal roof deck diaphragms are presented [...]

Floor and roof diaphragms are essential part of seismic force resisting systems in building structures. They must be designed to withstand and transfer forces that are in [...]

A research program has been undertaken to better characterizing the contribution of higher modes of vibration on the bending moment and shear force demand on cantilevered [...]

This paper focuses on the earthquake response of merchandise stored in steel storage racks and introduces the concept of inclined shelving as a measure for reduction of t [...]

While steel EBF and MRF structures designed according to the current seismic design specifications can provide life safety during a design level earthquake, they are expe [...]

A direct comparison is made between shake table and real time hybrid simulation testing techniques for a two-storey steel building structure model. Only the first-storey [...]

The seismic response of special moment-resisting frames (SMRF), buckling restrained braced (BRB) frames and self-centering energy dissipating (SCED) braced frames is comp [...]
