Evaluation of lateral strength and deflection for unreinforced masonry cracked walls
An evaluation methodology for lateral strength and deflection of unreinforced masonry cracked walls is developed in this study. With this approach, the post cracked behavior is considered by neglecting the shear transfer across the cracked masonry. Based on the developed shear and normal stress …

Effect of Severe Corrosion on Lateral Strength of Square RC Bridge Columns
… Severe corrosion of steel bars decreases the lateral load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete members, causes loss in the mechanical properties of reinforcement and cross-sectional area of steel bars and concrete cover, bond deterioration, reduces anchorage of steel bars, and decreases …

Lateral Strength and Ductile Behavior of a Mortise-Tenon Connected Timber Frame
… of this project were to examine the amount of lateral force resisted by a single-bay mortise-tenon connected timber moment frame, and to introduce ductile behavior into the mortise-tenon connections by adding a steel sleeve around a traditional wood peg. This research aimed to provide proof …

Impact of Jet Grouting on the Lateral Strength of Soil Surrounding Driven Pile Foundations
Jet grouting was used to strengthen the soft soil surrounding the piles and the pile cap of two full-scale driven pile foundations. Soilcrete columns, created by jet grouting, were placed underneath the pile cap and surrounding the piles of the first foundation. Two rows of soilcrete columns were …

Nonlinear Finite Element Modelling of Reinforced Concrete Frames Retrofitted with Shape Memory Alloy Buckling Restrained Braces
… of the BRB is also evaluated. Improvements in lateral strength capacity and residual displacements of the SMA-BRB retrofitted frames are assessed against a previously tested bare concrete frame and frames retrofitted with BRBs incorporating stainless steel and chrome-molybdenum steel core bars. …

Multi-hazard performance of steel moment frame buildings with collapse prevention systems in the central and eastern United States
… the potential for using a conventional main lateral-force resisting system, combined with the reserve strength in the gravity framing, and or auxiliary collapse-inhibiting mechanisms deployed throughout the building, or enhanced shear tab connections, to provide adequate serviceability …

Modeling the post shear failure behavior of reinforced concrete columns
… axial failure after shear failure and subsequent lateral shear strength degradation have occurred. Therefore, column shear failure and degrading behavior must be modeled accurately before axial collapse algorithms can be properly implemented. Furthermore, accurate modeling of the degrading …

Parametric Study and Early-Stage Structural Design for Tall Timber Buildings
… loads, increases linearly when designing for lateral strength, and increases exponentially when designing for lateral serviceability. For gravity loads, this quantity of timber needed is 0.65 cu.ft/sf for 10 stories, linearly increasing to 0.80 cu.ft/sf for 50 stories. For lateral loads, the …

Limits of Permissible Damage in Strong-Post W-Beam Guardrail
… while maintaining the post contributions to lateral strength of the guardrail.

Field Evaluation of Doppler LIDAR Sensors for Early Assessment of Track Instability
… sections of track are "doctored" to have weaker lateral strength, one on a tangent and another one in a curve. Multiple tests are performed at speeds ranging from 10 – 40 mph, during which the lateral and vertical deflections of the rail are measured under the weight of the passing wheels of a …
