The use of ductile steel fuses for the seismic protection of acceleration sensitive non- structural components: Numerical and Experimental verification

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

Recent seismic events have showcased the vulnerability of non-structural components to even low- or moderate-intensity earthquakes that occur far more frequently than design-basis ones. Thus, community-critical buildings, such as hospitals, telecommunicati ...

A unified Bio-Chemo-Hydro-Mechanical formulation for soil improvement with microbially-induced calcite precipitation

Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis, Jose Antonio Bosch Llufriu

This paper reports recent advances in modelling MICP at the engineering scale, in particular with respect to the stress-strain-strength modelling of bio-cemented soils. A complete Bio-Chemo-Hydro-Mechanical (BCHM) model is presented. The BCH model is based ...

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 ...

Full-Scale Experiments of Cyclically Loaded Welded Moment Connections with Highly Dissipative Panel Zones and Simplified Weld Details

Dimitrios Lignos, Andronikos Skiadopoulos

This paper presents the experimental results of two welded unreinforced flange-welded web (WUF-W) beam-to-column connections that defy the current design paradigm of prequalified welded connections. The proposed WUF-W connections feature customized beveled ...

Reliability analysis and partial safety format calibration considering the characteristics of the resistance of reinforced concrete structures

Qianhui Yu

Every engineering calculation is an approximation of reality, with inevitable uncertainties involved. This fact implies that a reliability verification accounting for the uncertainties is a necessary step in the design and assessment of structures. Nowaday ...

Microscopic Digital Image Correlation Analysis of Strain Distributions in Stainless Steel 316L Induced by Multiaxial Cyclic Loading

Elif Cansu Kursun

Fatigue damage in materials results in localized strain at the microstructural level. In many engineering components of the cooling circuits of nuclear power plants, where austenitic steels are used, the material experiences multiaxial cyclic loading, eith ...

Geometric tolerances of welded connections with inelastic panel zones

Ce Wen, Dimitrios Lignos, Andronikos Skiadopoulos

Prequalified beam-to-column connections in steel moment resisting frames usually concentrate inelastic deformations in the steel beam ends. As such, nonlinear geo-metric instabilities (i.e., local buckling) may occur in these regions at modest lateral drif ...

Effect of fiber architecture on tension-tension fatigue behavior of bolted basalt composite joints

Thomas Keller, Lulu Liu

The effect of fiber architecture, i.e., unidirectional (UD) vs. multi-directional (MD), on the tension-tension fa-tigue behavior of bolted double-lap basalt composite joints was experimentally investigated. The fatigue load-life (F -N) curves of MD and UD ...

CRACK SHIELDING MECHANISMS OF INTERLAYERED EPOXY MATERIALS UNDER QUASI-STATIC AND FATIGUE LOADING

Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Dharun Vadugappatty Srinivasan

This research explores the capability of PEI and PVDF thermoplastic interlayers to arrest cracks in epoxy materials modified with short-glass fibers and core-shell rubber particles. It also investigates the effect of interlayer position, the number of inte ...

Multi-scale characterization and modeling of notched strength and translaminar fracture in hybrid thin-ply composites based on different carbon fiber grades

Guillaume Clément Broggi

Owing to their high specific stiffness and strength, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites (CFRP) are ideal candidates for the development of lightweight high-performance structures. Within this family, thin-ply composites allow for wider design freedom and p ...

Novel multi-crack damage approach for pultruded fiber-polymer web-flange junctions

Thomas Keller

This paper aims to propose a novel approach to assess the multi-crack behavior of layered fiber-polymer composites. The Compliance and R-curves generated from this novel approach were useful to understand the multiple delamination process, enabling to eval ...

Proposed Panel Zone Model for Beam-To-Column Joints in Steel Moment Resisting Frames

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady, Andronikos Skiadopoulos

In capacity designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs), beam-to-column joints (i.e., panel zones) are designed to remain elastic. To potentially exploit the beneficial aspects of the stable panel zone hysteretic response in shear, a robust panel zone mo ...
