This paper examines in detail the seismic behavior of a type of semi-rigid composite connections best known in the international literature as Partially Restrained Compos [...]

This study focuses on the evaluation of the seismic behavior of transverse lateral load resisting system when the longitudinal load resisting system is subjected to large [...]

The conception, design, test setup, and predicted behavior of a SMA-based recentering beam-column connection are presented. Since the 1994 Northridge earthquake, many dif [...]

Results obtained from nonlinear fiber analyses (FA) and finite element analyses (FEA) for concrete-filled-tubes (CFT) are discussed. These analyses, based on the assumed [...]

Brief histories of the establishment of NEES and E-Defense are presented, followed by a summary of the preparation, initiation, and status of the NEES/E-Defense collabora [...]

The study of the seismic behavior of container cranes is critical since recent natural hazard events have highlighted their vulnerability. This paper provides details abo [...]
