Full Scale Experiments of a Composite Steel Moment Resisting Frame: Behavioral Insights and Implications on Seismic Design

Dimitrios Lignos, Hammad El Jisr

This paper discusses the cyclic performance of a heavily instrumented 2-bay full-scale composite-steel moment resisting frame (CMRF) sub-system from the onset of structural damage up until incipient collapse. The CMRF featured stiffened end plate bolted co ...

The new Chapter 9 of Eurocode 8 Part 3 for Seismic Assessment of Existing Steel Structures

Dimitrios Lignos

The seismic assessment of existing steel structures necessitates the development of practice- oriented engineering models for use in nonlinear static and dynamic analysis procedures. These models should encompass the full range of the anticipated nonlinear ...

Case-Study on the Creep Behavior of Interconnected Timber Elements using Wood-Wood Connections

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Jean-François Bocquet, Martin Thomas Nakad

With the increasing use of automation and computer-aided manufacturing in timber construction, a standardized timber construction system using digitally produced wood-wood connections has recently been developed for basic building components. Its structura ...

Steel column stability and implications in the seismic assessment of steel structures according to Eurocode 8 Part 3

Dimitrios Lignos, Alexander Riley Hartloper

Seismic performance assessment of new and existing steel structures based on nonlinear static (pushover) analysis necessitates the use of engineering‐oriented models that trace the nonlinear response of structural steel elements under static and cyclic loa ...

Development of Novel Standardized Structural Timber Elements Using Wood-Wood Connections

Julien Gamerro

Traditional wood-wood connections, widely used in the past, have been progressively replaced by steel fasteners and bonding processes in modern timber constructions. However, the emergence of digital fabrication and innovative engineered timber products ha ...

Experimental testing and simulation of bolted beam-column connections having thick extended endplates and multiple bolts per row

Alain Nussbaumer, Luís Costa Borges, Gary Scott Prinz, Shyam Khadka

Retrofit of existing steel buildings often requires strengthening of the connection regions. One common connection, the bolted beam-column connection, is often strengthened in design using stiffened extended endplates, or with continuity plates welded betw ...

Fragility Analysis of Existing Unreinforced Masonry Buildings through a Numerical-based Methodology

Pierino Lestuzzi, Amin Karbassi

As an approach to the problem of seismic vulnerability evaluation of existing buildings using the predicted vulnerability method, numerical models can be applied to define fragility curves of typical buildings which represent building classes. These curves ...
