Frame Stability - A Canadian Designer's Approach
The deficiencies and fallacies of the simplistic effective column length approach to frame stability are demonstrated through its application to a 57-story rigidly framed building structure....

The Just-in-Case Factor
Computer analysis allows bridge designers to take a more precise look at the old structural principle of redundancy. No one can define redundancy, but everybody knows what it means. Two...

Taipei Trade
The appearance of this building is remarkable�so were the cost savings. A design change form rigid shear walls to a ductile frame helped keep construction of Taipei's World...

Interactive Computer Graphic Seismic Design of Frames
An interactive computer graphics approach for earthquake resistant design of two and three-dimensional steel frames is presented. Analysis and design are possible from code-related equivalent...

Interactive Structural Analysis and Steel Design on the Macintosh
A program has been written for the analysis of two-dimensional structures for the Macintosh personal computer using the Microsoft Basic language. The program takes advantage of the special...

Finite Element Analysis of R/C Frames and Frame-Wall Systems
A finite element program has been developed for the analysis of reinforced concrete two-dimensional structures. The element library of the program includes, in addition to standard beam...

Seismic Tests of Friction Damped Steel Frames
This paper presents the results obtained from qualification tests of a new friction damping system, which has been proposed in order to improve the response of Moment Resisting Frames...

Building Records from 1984 Morgan Hill Earthquake
The dynamic response of 23 structures instrumented by the California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program was recorded during the magnitude 6. 2 (ML) Morgan Hill earthquake of 24 April...

Seismic Behavior of a Full-Scale K-Braced Steel Frame?Part I Gross Behavior
As a part of the U. S. -Japan Cooperative Research Program Utilizing Large-Scale Testing Facilities, a six-story, 2 by 2 bay, concentrically K-braced steel building was constructed in...

Seismic Behavior of a Full-Scale K-Braced Steel Frame?Part II Local Behavior
The full-scale six-story concentrically K-braced steel building was subjected to Miyagi-Ken-Oki simulated earthquake whose peak intensity was 500gal. Local behavior of the test building...

Slab Participation in Frames under Lateral Loads
A unique opportunity to study slab participation was afforded by the U. S. -Japan Cooperative project on large scale testing. The data obtained from the full-scale 7-story building tested...

Earthquake Response Simulation Capacity of Pseudo Dynamic Testing?Experimntal Demonstration and Analytic Evaluation
The response accuracy of the pseudo dynamic test was evaluated from the shake table and pseudo dynamic tests conducted for a two story steel braced frame model. The obtained responses...

Full Scale Tests of Cladding Components
A full scale, six story, steel frame at the Building Research Institute, Tsukuba, Japan was constructed for a series of projects in the U. S. -Japan Cooperative Research Program. This...

Stiffness Parameters Identification of Frames
Four widely used methods of structural system identification are presented. A new formula and its derivation, based on the Bayesian estimation theory, is given. Time domain responses of...

Comparative Seismic Response of Damped Braced Frames
The behaviours of braced steel building frames with friction joints and with eccentric bracing, under seismic forces, are compared. Nonlinear time history dynamic analysis is used. Friction...

Modal Analysis of Random Vibration with Hysteresis
A model for the zero or non-zero mean random vibration response of hysteretic plane frames is summarized, in which the plane frame is idealized as a series of elastic sub-elements connected...

Rigid Body Random Rocking Prediction
The stochastic rocking of a rigid block due to shaking of its foundation is examined. The foundation is flexible (Winkler) and its independent springs and dashpots separate from the block...

Interdependence of Dynamic Analysis and Experiment
This paper emphasizes the importance of experimental research to the development of reliable analytical methods for predicting the behavior of structures subjected to static or dynamic...

The Public/Private Condo
A 20-story office building in Chicago was built on publicly owned land under a condominium arrangement that allowed a developer full ownership of air rights over and above the 100,000...

Complex Tower Meets Quake Code
A Los Angeles building consists of a triangular 23-story office tower stacked on top of an 11-story rectangular parking garage. The dual-shape is unique in seismically active southern...
