  • Finite Element Method Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Exterior Beam-Column Joint Structures Subjected to High Varying Axial Forces 

    Zhao, Neng; Suzuki, Yusuke; Shegay, Alex; Maeda, Masaki; Taniguchi, Yoshiya (2024-04-09)
    Large variation of axial forces in columns in the lower stories of a high-rise reinforced concrete buildings during a severe earthquake can cause significant changes in the column-to-beam strength ratio in the exterior ...
  • Comparison between weld sizing methods included in steel structure standards 

    Taheri, Hafez; Karpenko, Michail; Clifton, G. Charles; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Dong, Pingsha; Lim, James B. P.; Roy, Krishanu; Fang, Zhiyuan (2024-04-09)
    Although the weld sizing methods given in standards look simple, the actual stress distribution in most welds is complex. Some simplifications are assumed to make designing welds easier for design engineers in different ...
  • Simple Three-layer Pagoda Analysis 

    Liang, Haoyu; Chen, Jian; MacRae, Gregory; Jia, Liang-Jiu; Li, Minghao (2024-04-09)
    This paper describes the construction of a simplified three-storey pagoda and its behaviour. The following are developed: (i) a 1/20 scale 3-D printed overall structure model, (ii) a 1/10 scale 3-D printed model of one ...
  • Machine Learning Correction of Overpredicted Liquefaction Manifestation using Liquefaction Severity Number 

    McDougall, Nathan; van Ballegooy, Sjoerd; Kennerley, Ben; Russell, James; Lacrosse, Virginie; Jacka, Mike (2024-04-09)
    Many of state-of-practice methods for predicting liquefaction manifestation, such as the Liquefaction Severity Number (LSN) of van Ballegooy et al. (2014) are known to suffer from significant overprediction in regions ...
  • Holistic Considerations for Low-Rise Building Design 

    Holland, William; Gray, Caleb; Loporcaro, Giuseppe; MacRae, Gregory (2024-04-09)
    Two low-rise residential structures, a single-storey residential structure (SSRS) and one triple-storey structure (TSS), are initially described using building information modelling (BIM) software. The structures are then ...
