Performance of RC Columns Retrofitted with UHPFRC Jackets Under Cyclic Displacement Reversals
… concrete (UHPFRC) jackets and subjected to cyclic loading that simulates earthquake effects. A series of conventionally designed RC column elements were constructed, based on detailing methodologies of older code standards. Preliminary damage was imposed, simulating the effects of previous …

Study of the seismic behavior of steel plate shear walls with coupling through analysis and testing of a small-scale model
… loads. The experimental study consisted of a cyclic displacement loading test on the small-scale specimen. The system’s behavior was stable for much of the test, and the specimen was able to undergo large roof displacements. The analytical, numerical, and experimental results are presented and …

Topology Optimization of Steel Shear Fuses to Resist Buckling
… with cutouts subjected to in-plane lateral displacements during extreme loading events such as earthquakes, that dissipate energy through localized shear or flexural yielding mechanisms. Although previous studies have reported that fuses with specific geometry can develop a stable hysteretic …

Prediction of cracking in steel joint subjected to high cyclic strains
… However, for the components having nominal cyclic elastic stresses but local plastic deformation, local strain-life theory is used for predicting the fatigue life. In this work, the behaviour of a fully welded steel connection subjected to cyclic displacement loading, is analysed using the …

Connections to concrete-filled steel tubes
… models. For the test specimens, a predetermined cyclic displacement was imposed at the girder tip, and the specimens were tested to destruction.

Long-term Cyclic Lateral Response and Optimisation of Shallow Foundations
… have limited capacity to predict long-term cyclic loads. This leads to conservative designs, excessive material use, and a higher carbon footprint. This thesis addresses these limitations by (i) evidencing the fundamental failure mechanisms of GBFs under combined horizontal–moment cyclic …

Behavior and large-scale experimental testing of Steel Plate Shear Walls with Coupling
… two specimens. The specimens were subjected to a cyclic displacement protocol, with mixed-mode hybrid control algorithms used to emulate the demands on bottom three stories of a six-story structure. The experimental SPSW-WC specimens demonstrated robust cyclic performance that was consistent with …

Experimental Program for Fiber Reinforced Polymer Retrofit of Reinforced Concrete Diaphragms
… The tests were performed using a reverse cyclic displacement protocol representative of earthquake actions. The tests included a baseline unretrofitted concrete specimen, followed by five retrofitted specimens with different configurations of externally bonded FRP. Each retrofitted …

Thermal Response of Integral Abutment Bridges With Mse Walls: Numerical Analyses and a Practical Analysis Tool
… developed to account for the impacts of thermal displacements on abutment and foundation components, including the components of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls that are often used around the abutment piling. During this research, over 65 three-dimensional numerical analyses were …
