Stability Requirements of Deep Steel Wide-Flange Columns under Cyclic Loading
Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady
Just recently, valuable experimental data that characterized the hysteretic behavior of deep wide-flange steel columns (i.e., column depth, d >16 inches) at full-scale became available. Such members are typically used in steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs ...
Structural Stability Research Council2017Post-tensioned glass beams
Over the last few decades, the application of glass in building construction has extended from small four-side supported windowpanes to areas traditionally reserved for other materials, such as roofs, floors, staircases and full building envelopes. Glass i ...
EPFL2017A fibre-based frame element with explicit consideration of bond-slip effects
João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida
Reinforced concrete (RC) frames subjected to seismic loading often depict localized member-end deformations due to strain penetration effects between adjacent members, such as beam-column and column-footing joints. Past experimental programs indicate that ...
2017Effect of composite beam action on the hysteretic behavior of fully-restrained beam-to-column connections under cyclic loading
Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady
This paper assesses the composite beam effects on the hysteretic behavior of fully-restrained beam-to-column connections as part of steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) designed in highly seismic regions. A practical approach is developed based on availabl ...
American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)2016Dynamic Stability of Deep and Slender Wide-Flange Steel Columns – Full Scale Experiments
Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady
In North America, a common design practice for steel frame buildings with perimeter steel special moment frames (SMFs) is to employ deep and slender wide-flange steel columns (i.e., range of column depth, d > 16 inches). Till recently, very little was know ...
Structural Stability Research Council2016Post-Tensioned Structural Glass Beams - Comparative Experimental Study
Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac
This paper presents a study of a system of post-tensioned structural glass beams. In order to increase the initial fracture strength of glass beams and provide residual load-carrying capacity in the event of glass failure, annealed laminated glass beams ar ...
2015Etude expérimentale des poutres en verre précontraintes par adhésifs
This thesis investigates the structural behaviour of post-tensioned glass beams with adhesively bonded steel reinforcement. Several types of adhesive are explored in an experimental study which focuses on the potential loss of post-tensioning loads due to ...
2015Le facteur séisme dans l'architecture vernaculaire
A large part of ancient built environments in earthquake prone areas have been accomplished exclusively thanks to the experience that their builders developed over centuries of practice. Several of the resulting techniques have showed a satisfactory perfor ...
EPFL2015Design and exploration of externally post-tensioned structures using graphic statics
Funicular structures, which follow the shapes of hanging chains, work in pure tension (cables) or pure compression (arches), and offer a materially efficient solution compared to structures that work through bending action. However, the set of geometries t ...
