Effective Lengths of Web-Tapered Columns in Rigid Metal Building Frames
… by applying the expression to a range of frames are compared to the results obtained from second-order finite element analyses. Calculations involved in using the expression are presented.

Comparison between mathematical and model analysis of stresses in building frames
The first experiment consisted of the making and testing of a cardboard model of a beam fixed at both ends. The results obtained from the model compared very favorably with the mathematical solution as there was a variation of only 1.8 percent. The second experiment was performed with a cardboard …

Spatial distribution of dynamic amplification in progressive collapse analysis of building frames
… Application factor is to design and analysis the building and structures more efficient under the progressive collapse where one can only use only the Linear Static Analysis and times the results by the DAF instead of using more complex Linear Dynamic Analysis. It is suggested in the code that …

Determining seismic response of mid-rise building frames considering dynamic soil-structure interaction
… may change the performance level of the building frames. Thus, a comprehensive dynamic analysis to evaluate the realistic Performance level of a structure should consider effects of SSI in the model. In this study, an enhanced numerical soil-structure model has been developed which treats …

Enhancing Progressive Collapse Resistance of Steel Building Frames Using Thin Infill Steel Panels
… disproportionate to the initial failure. Recent building failures (e.g., World Trade Center twin towers) highlight the catastrophic outcome of progressive collapse. This research proposes a reliable and realistic retrofit technology which installs thin steel panels into steel building structural …

Behaviour of unstiffened column webs in bolted beam-to-column connections in building frames
From various surveys, steel bolted end plate connections are used widely in construction projects throughout the UK. The most popular connections are flush end plated ones with extended end plated ones just behind in popularity. These connections are chosen over other connections types mainly due …

Structural Optimization using the Principle of Virtual Work and an Analytical Study on Metal Buildings
… was then used to analyze the behavior of metal building frames under various loadings. The focus of this study was to determine the effect modeling the column base connection as partially rigid has on wind drift in metal building frames. Before beginning the study, a literature review was …

Towards a Better Understanding of the Fundamental Period of Metal Building Systems
Metal buildings account for over 40% of low-rise construction in the US. Despite this, predictive fundamental period equations that were obtained empirically for mid-rise construction are used in seismic design. Analytical modeling of metal building frames implied that these equations significantly …

Seismic performance assessment for structural optimization
… are limited for the performance-based designed buildings, whose responses to the moderate but more frequent earthquakes remain essentially elastic. An application to the placement and sizing of viscous dampers in building frames is presented. A first procedure seeks the optimal trade-off between …

Non-linear analysis of infilled frames.
This thesis is concerned with the analysis of building frames acting compositely with infilling wall panels. The significance of the composite action is emphasized and previous work on infilled frames is reviewed. The existing methods of analysis are categorized and their analytical assumptions are …

Probabilistic Assessment of Non-Ductile Reinforced Concrete Frames Susceptible to Mid-America Ground Motions
… seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frames in the CEUS, which have primarily been designed for gravity load effects, is expected to be deficient when subjected to earthquakes that are judged, in recent seismological research, as being plausible in the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ). …

Inelastic Seismic Response Of Reinforced Concrete Buildings With Floor Diaphragm Openings
… by diaphragm action. In reinforced concrete buildings, the in-plane flexibility of the floor diaphragms is often ignored for simplicity in practical design: i.e., the floor systems are frequently treated as perfectly rigid diaphragms). In recent building standards: ASCE-7, 2005), it is …
