    • Development, verification, and validation of a buckling-fatigue steel material model 

      Mou, Junan; Tripathi, Mayank; Dhakal, Rajesh; Chandramohan, Reagan (2023-04-19)
      Currently, there are limited constitutive models available in finite element analysis packages that reliably capture the coupled effects of bar buckling and fatigue. However, such a model is needed for reliable estimation ...
    • Elongating plastic hinge element for nonlinear analysis of RC structures using OPENSEES 

      Dhakal, Rajesh; Waezi, Zakariya (2023-04-19)
      During inelastic cyclic loading, the length of plastic hinges in reinforced concrete (RC) members increases irreversibly which significantly affects the seismic performance of RC structures. It is hence necessary for ...
    • Modelling uncertainty induced by plastic hinge length in lumped-plasticity analysis of RC columns 

      Mou, Julian; Tripathi, Mayank; Chandramohan, Reagan; Dhakal, Rajesh (2022-04-27)
      This study quantifies the influence of various plastic hinge length assumptions on the uncertainty in the response of reinforced concrete (RC) columns simulated using lumped plasticity models. Although several expressions ...
    • The ROBUST Steel Building Response 

      MacRae, Gregory; JIA, Liang-Jiu; Yan, Zhenduo; Clifton, Charles; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Dhakal, Rajesh; Xiang, Ping; Rodgers, Geoff; Quenneville, Pierre; Zhao, Xianzhong (2024-04-09)
      The ROBUST test programme describes the full-scale shaking table testing of nine different steel frame building configurations on the Tongji University shaking tables. Energy dissipation occurs by means of friction devices ...
