    • A Review on Nonlinear Time History Analysis of Structures 

      Hashemi, Gholamreza; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Clifton, G Charles (2024-04-09)
      Nonlinear time history analysis (NTHA) is a powerful approach for assessing the seismic response of buildings, enabling engineers to better understand and predict the structural behavior under dynamic loading. This review ...
    • 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 ...
    • Experimental and Analytical Study of Fillet Welds for Seismic Actions 

      Ramhormozian, Shahab; Zhang, Mark; Clifton, Charles; Karpenko, Michail; Taheri, Hafez (2024-04-09)
      New Zealand steel standards NZS3404 uses a simplified method to predict the weld design capacity and to size the weld. According to the industry feedback on the design and manufacturing of the seismic welded connections, ...
    • Finite Element Modelling (FEM) of the Asymmetric Friction Connection (AFC) with Belleville Springs (BeSs): challenges and ongoing developments 

      Alizadeh, Fatemeh; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Clifton, G Charles (2024-04-09)
      The Sliding Hinge Joint (SHJ) is a low-damage beam-column connection used in steel moment-resisting frames. It allows large beam-column rotation to occur with minimal damage, through sliding in asymmetric friction connections ...
    • 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 ...
