The ever-increasing need for housing generated the search for new and innovative building
methods to increase speed, efficiency and enhance quality, one direction being the use of …

We present a methodology for conducting a site-specific probabilistic analysis of fault
displacement hazard. Two approaches are outlined. The first relates the occurrence of fault …

An experimental investigation of eight statically loaded extended end plate moment
connections was undertaken at the Delft University of Technology to provide insight into the …

The results of 32 tests on bolted T-stub connections made up of welded plates are presented
and discussed. Although T-stubs have been used for many years to model the tension zone …

Abstract The town of Tlajomulco, Mexico is under high seismic hazard by its proximity to very
active seismic zones. The seismic risk is increased by the presence of vulnerable auto …

The ultimate behavior of steel beams deeply influences the overall performance of steel
frames. The main response parameters are the rotation capacity and the flexural ultimate …

At present, strength-curves approaches are used within European standards to deal with
stability problems in steel structures. In this regard, three parameters require special …

Cyclic tests were performed on six full-scale single-bay two-story frames, including one
frame using Q345 (fy= 345 MPa) ordinary strength steels, and another five frames using …

A new type of lateral force-resisting system, a framed modular building with double skin steel
panels of slender thin steel plates is presented. Modular construction leads to faster …

Abstract Cold formed Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) are widely used in structural
applications, especially in multi-storey buildings located in seismic areas because of their …
