pNEUMA dataset

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Emmanouil Barmpounakis

pNEUMA is an open large-scale dataset of naturalistic trajectories of half a million vehicles that have been collected by a one-of-a-kind experiment by a swarm of drones in the congested downtown area of Athens, Greece. A unique observatory of traffic cong ...

Shear and steel-fibre reinforcement for the punching resistance of flat slabs at internal and edge columns

Diego Hernández Fraile

Reinforced concrete flat slabs consist of a continuous, thin concrete plate that rests on a grid of columns. The supporting surface of the columns is very small compared to the floor plan dimensions, leading to concentrations of shear forces near the colum ...

The new Chapter 9 of Eurocode 8 Part 3 for Seismic Assessment of Existing Steel Structures

Dimitrios Lignos

The seismic assessment of existing steel structures necessitates the development of practice- oriented engineering models for use in nonlinear static and dynamic analysis procedures. These models should encompass the full range of the anticipated nonlinear ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment of free-standing massive masonry columns by the 3D Discrete Element Method

Jinwoo Kim

Free-standing masonry column is a recurrent typology of built cultural heritage. Usually raised without seismic design, columns are subject to intense rocking and overturning under strong ground motions. In this paper, a strategy to assess their seismic vu ...

Fiber-based hysteretic model for simulating strength and stiffness deterioration of steel hollow structural section columns under cyclic loading

Dimitrios Lignos

An efficient component model has been developed that captures strength and stiffness deterioration of steel hollow structural section (HSS) columns. The proposed model consists of two fiber-based segments at a member's ends along with an elastic segment in ...

Seismic Stability of Wide-Flange Steel Columns Interacting with Embedded Column Base Connections

Dimitrios Lignos, Hiroyuki Inamasu

The rotational flexibility of column base connections is commonly assumed to be detrimental to the seismic response of steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) because it increases story drift demands and promotes soft-story formation by lowering the point of ...

Proposed Updates to the ASCE 41 Nonlinear Modeling Parameters for Wide-Flange Steel Columns in Support of Performance-Based Seismic Engineering

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady, Alexander Riley Hartloper

Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses are utilized by engineers for performance-based seismic risk evaluation of new and existing structures. In this context, nonlinear component modeling criteria are typically based on ASCE 41 guidelines. Experiments on w ...

Structure from sound with incomplete data

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Gilles Baechler, Miranda Krekovic

In this paper, we consider the problem of jointly localizing a microphone array and identifying the direction of arrival of acoustic events. Under the assumption that the sources are in the far field, this problem can be formulated as a constrained low-ran ...

The seismic stability and ductility of steel columns interacting with concrete footings

Dimitrios Lignos, Hiroyuki Inamasu

First-story columns in steel moment resisting frames are subjected to various forms of geometric instabilities during earthquakes. These instabilities have the potential to seriously compromise structural performance, and expedite structural collapse. In t ...

Collapse Behavior of Steel Columns as Part of Steel Frame Buildings: Experiments and Numerical Models

Dimitrios Lignos

Earthquake-induced collapse risk assessment of steel frame buildings requires the use of deterioration models that simulate instabilities that cause strength and stiffness deterioration of structural steel components. In the case of steel columns in additi ...
