This article presents a study of the wind-resistance and seismic behavior of steel frame elevator structures with square hollow section (SHS) members. The study was conducted by numerical analysis, it ...

Heavy Steel Frames: Fabricated from hot-rolled steel sections, heavy steel frames are significantly thicker—often above 6 mm—and heavier. They are used in buildings where high load-bearing capacity is ...

For over a century, wood pole structures have been used to support overhead powerlines. Over time, as the utility industry expanded, the basic wood pole structure has evolved, but regardless of ...

Abstract: Masonry filler walls are widely used in practical buildings. Research shows that they have an important impact on resisting the vertical continuous collapse of the structure. However, in ...

Faster delivery of buildings isn’t always associated with sustainability benefits or long-term value, but things are changing. An instructive case is in the development of steel structures that not ...

ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to assess the accuracy of brace models formulated in Drain 2DX and OpenSees by comparing the simulated results with those obtained from experimental tests. Both, ...
