Effect of Column Base Flexibility on Earthquake-Induced Residual Deformations of Steel Columns

Post-earthquake residual deformations often control decisions regarding potential demolition of earthquake-damaged buildings. While residual deformations are typically assumed to be lateral, the column residual axial shortening has similar implications for ...

Revised ASCE-41 modeling recommendations for moment-resisting frame systems

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady, Alexander Riley Hartloper

Nonlinear static and dynamic analysis is utilized by engineers to evaluate the seismic behavior of new and existing structures in the context of performance-based earthquake engineering. Numerous experiments on steel moment-resisting frames and their compo ...

Effect of Column Base Flexibility on the Hysteretic Response of Wide Flange Steel Columns

Dimitrios Lignos, Hiroyuki Inamasu

Recent experiments on wide flange steel columns subjected to multi-axial cyclic loading underscore the influence of the member end boundary conditions on strength and stiffness deterioration due to coupling of local and lateral torsional buckling. Field ob ...

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 ...

Simultaneous estimation of unwrapped phase and phase derivative from a closed fringe pattern

Pramod Rastogi, Rishikesh Dilip Kulkarni

We propose a new approach for the direct estimation of the unwrapped phase from a single closed fringe pattern. The fringe analysis is performed along a given row/column at a time by approximating the phase with a weighted linear combination of linearly in ...

Out-of-plane behaviour of reinforced concrete members with single reinforcement layer subjected to cyclic axial loading: beam-column element simulation

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Angelica Rosso

Earthquake loads can induce out-of-plane deformations in thin reinforced concrete (RC) walls that may lead to member out-of-plane failure or cause a premature in-plane collapse. Such instability phenomena have been observed after the recent earthquakes in ...

Simplified wide-column model for the blind prediction shake table test of a U-shaped wall building

João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures with tri-dimensional asymmetries tend to exhibit torsional effects that are of great concern in the field of earthquake engineering, in particular at large ductility levels where they become more relevant [MAN09]. In nuc ...
