Experimental investigation of the response of reinforced concrete structural walls subjected to static and dynamic loading
… of this study was to investigate the hysteretic response of reinforced-concrete (R/C) structural walls that are susceptible to shear failure after flexural yielding. The investigation was divided into an experimental and an analytical phase. There were three main objectives in the experimental …

Performance Assessment of Seismic Resistant Steel Structures
… of the assumptions made within provisions for nonlinear response history analyses. In the first study, two innovative systems, which are hybrid buckling restrained braces and collapse prevention systems, are compared to their traditional counterparts using a combination of the FEMA P-695 and …

Experimental and Computational Investigation of a Self-Centering Beam Moment Frame (SCB-MF)
… their effect on global system hysteretic response and their effect on system components. These large-scale experiments validated the performance of the system, allowed the investigation of detailing and construction methods, provided information on the behavior of the individual components …

An Investigation of the Behavior of Structural Systems with Modeling Uncertainties
… of the behavior of structural systems. Analysis characteristics, such as ground motion records, material properties, and structural component behavior are defined by probabilistic distributions. The response is also characterized probabilistically, with distributions fitted to analysis …

Large-Scale Cyclic Testing and Development of Ring Shaped - Steel Plate Shear Walls for Improved Seismic Performance of Buildings
… models were then utilized to study the nonlinear response history behavior of four prototype building structures using Ring Shaped - Steel Plate Shear Walls and conventional steel plate shear walls. The nonlinear response history analyses investigated the application of the system to a …

Evaluating Shear links for Use in Seismic Structural Fuses
… systems, which have been shown in preliminary analysis to have improved hysteretic behavior including increased stiffness and energy dissipating ability. Both of these characteristics lead to reduced drifts during earthquakes, which in turn leads to a reduction of drift related structural and …
