Development of dissipative embedded columns base connections for mitigating column axial shortening

Dimitrios Lignos, Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa, Hiroyuki Inamasu

This paper proposes an innovative design concept for embedded column base (ECB) connections featuring wide flange steel columns. The developed ECB connection achieves a non-degrading hysteretic response up to lateral drift demands associated with low proba ...

Seismic stability of steel moment resisting frames with inelastic panel zones

Dimitrios Lignos, Andronikos Skiadopoulos

This paper summarizes preliminary findings of nonlinear simulations aiming to quantify the seismic demands of codecompliant steel MRFs with variable panel zone targeted shear distortions, 𝛾!. The probability of beam fractures is explicitly considered in th ...

Scaling theory for the statistics of slip at frictional interfaces

Matthieu Wyart, Thomas Willem Jan de Geus

Slip at a frictional interface occurs via intermittent events. Understanding how these events are nucleated, can propagate, or stop spontaneously remains a challenge, central to earthquake science and tribology. In the absence of disorder, rate-and-state a ...

A multi-disciplinary view on earthquake science

Marie Estelle Solange Violay

Earthquakes are a natural hazard affecting millions of people globally every year. Researchers are working on understanding the mechanisms of earthquakes and how we can predict them from various angles, such as experimental work, theoretical modeling, and ...

Fragility Assessment of Beam-Slab Connections for Informing Earthquake-Induced Repairs in Composite-Steel Moment Resisting Frames

Dimitrios Lignos, Hammad El Jisr

Earthquake loss estimation in composite-steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) necessitates a proper estimation of the level of damage in steel beam-to-slab connections. These usually feature welded headed shear studs to ensure the composite action between t ...

RC U-shaped walls subjected to in-plane, diagonal, and torsional loading: New experimental findings

Katrin Beyer, Ryan Hoult

Although reinforced concrete U-shaped walls are popular in construction practice internationally, there is a paucity of experimental research investigating the seismic performance of such salient elements. The present paper summarizes an experimental campa ...

ELSEVIER SCI LTD2021

In capacity-designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs), column base connections feature a strong-base/weak-column design philosophy. Prior studies on fixed-end wide flange steel columns featuring seismically compact cross sections subjected to coupled a ...

EPFL2021

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 ...

WILEY2020

In order to effectively utilize results from quasi-static cyclic testing on structural components for the earthquake-induced collapse risk quantification of structures, the need exists to establish collapse-consistent loading protocols representing the asy ...

Simulating Cyclic Local Buckling–Induced Softening in Steel Beam-Columns Using a Nonlocal Material Model in Displacement-Based Fiber Elements

Dimitrios Lignos

Steel beam-columns subjected to cyclic loading (such as during earthquakes) may exhibit local buckling, which results in effective cross-sectional softening and localization of deformation. These phenomena are critical from the standpoint of performance an ...
