This study evaluated the axial capacity of cold-formed racking upright sections strengthened
with an innovative reinforcement method by finite element modelling and artificial …

The progressive collapse of structures often causes serious casualties and property loss.
The intrinsic characteristic of progressive collapse is large-scale domino-like structural …

Multi-story reinforced concrete (RC) frames are one of the most widely-used structural
systems in engineering practice. To prevent the progressive collapse of RC frames under …

Full-scale shake table investigations are strongly required to understand the actual
performance of storage racks and to improve the rack design guidelines. This paper …

In this research a seismic retrofit system consisting of a pin-jointed steel frame and rotational
friction dampers is developed for the seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete soft-first-story …

Currently there is a growing need for a versatile framework consisting of analytical and
surrogate models to ensure both accuracy and computational efficiency of collapse analysis …

Cold-formed steel (CFS) storage rack structures are extensively used in various industries to
store products in safe and secure warehouses before distribution to the market. Thin-walled …

In this study a new hysteretic damper for seismic retrofit of soft-first story structures is
proposed and its seismic retrofit effect is evaluated. The damper consists of one steel …

Several recent research studies have demonstrated that the seismic performance of low-
aspect-ratio reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls (ie, defined herein as walls with height-to …

Hybrid cold-formed steel (HCFS) structures are new structural systems in the light steel
construction industry offering new possibilities, in particular with regard to the applications in …
