The need for a very-long-span structure in sporting and industrial venues puts steel moment
frames and braced frames at a disadvantage. In this regard, special truss moment frames …

Five-hammer head bridge piers were fabricated and tested under cyclic lateral loading to
evaluate the hysteretic response and the self-centering capability. The failure modes …

Pedestrian bridges with I-shaped girders exhibit frequent construction errors and difficulties
in the construction of curved sections because the bridges are composed of straight girders …

Several studies on Northridge and Kobe earthquake showed that many failures were
originated by improper weld details or poor workmanship. A first step towards the modelling …

This article compares isotropic and kinematic hardening rules for square hollow section
(SHS) numerical modelling under cyclic bending loading. Hot-rolled and cold-formed SHSs …

Nowadays, as a response to the promoted concept of performance-based seismic design,
the finite element method (FEM) has become an omnipresent practice that supports the …

The focus on new connections, including the reduced beam section (RBS), and their ductility
investigations in the plastic range increased after the disastrous earthquakes of Northridge …
