There is limited information on the behavior of connections between rectangular hollow section (RHS) columns and Hshaped beams. Since the RHS column has a closed section, [...]

In order to compare seismic performances between steel frames with high strength steel columns and ordinary strength steel columns, three models were designed which met t [...]

Firstly, a discrete equation of motion of free spanning submarine pipeline was derived. The spatially varying earthquake ground motions, the internal pressure and the the [...]

This paper focuses on the effects of velocity pulse of near-fault ground motions on the structural damage potential. Two sets of near-fault ground motion records from Chi [...]

Effective earthquake monitoring and forecasting speeds up restoration of sites and reduces earthquake losses. In the 1970s, with the rapid development of the GPS technolo [...]

A new-type of composite steel plate wall (CSPW), which consists of a steel plate sandwiched by two prefabricated concrete panels, has been recently studied. The concrete [...]

This paper proposes an integrated seismic optimum design approach for the high-rise buildings with girder transfer floor, including topology optimum design of the transfe [...]

In this paper, a new idea for designing metallic damper is presented, i.e. metallic damper with “dual functions”, because they not only provide certain added stiffnes [...]

Where the self weight of the overall slab needs to be considered, the quantity of in-situ concrete required can be reduced by the
