This paper presents collapse simulation results from three analytical models of a non-ductile reinforced concrete moment frame building that was severely damaged during t [...]

This paper discusses the experimental behavior of two lightly reinforced (shear-critical) columns subjected to high levels of axial load and lateral load reversals. The t [...]

This paper explores the design of a fuse element for potential use in Steel Concentrically Braced Frames. The fuse element has lower axial strength and much greater tough [...]
