Fires Deemed to Have Tested Structural Performance
This paper provides an overview and progress report of a survey and study of fire incidents deemed to have tested the structural performance of large buildings. This ongoing effort was...

Consequential Fire Loads on Structures
Much less consideration has been given to the performance of modern structural and architectural systems during fires and to the minimization of damage that threatens the integrity of...

Condition Assessment of Highway Bridges
An application of modal testing and structural identification in the condition assessment of bridges is presented. Damage definition and conceptualization is discussed. Damage detection...

Bridge Evaluation Using a Hybrid Information System
The objective of this paper is to discuss the developments and implementation of a hybrid system consisting of a rule-based information system and hypermedia technology for use by inspectors...

Sensors and Techniques for Structural Monitoring
This paper summarizes measurement requirements for the monitoring of engineering structures and describes new sensor/system configurations that are finding useful application in field...

Design and Analysis of the 712 Fifth Avenue Structure
New York City's 712 Fifth Avenue is an extremely-slender concrete tube tower. This text addresses the structure's lateral structural system, wind analysis, computer model, thermal analysis...

The Slender Tower of 52-54 East End Avenue
The structural system for the 52-54 East End Avenue project is presented. The 40 story residential tower with as aspect ratio of 12: 1 is one of the most slender buildings constructed...

Floor to Wall Anchors in Historic Brick Buildings
The poster presentation at the Structures' Congress details a retrofit analysis performed on the Gilroy Historic Commercial Building, which was instrumented during the Loma Prieta Earthquake....

This paper presents the engineering design methodology, structural analysis, system detailing, and installation procedures for a large span space frame structure currently under construction...

Roof Space Frame Design of the C.K.S. Airport Passenger Terminal II
This article attempts to provide a description of the characteristics of the Second Terminal Airport. To comply with the functional requirement of the magnificent facade and spacious design...

Deployable Mesh Reflector
This paper presents a new deployable reflector for space applications, based on a deployable edge frame that deploys and prestresses a 'rigid' cable network. The edge frame consists of...

An Application of Inverse Problem Techniques to Spatial Structures
The present paper attempts to give a definition of inverse problems for spatial structures, and to develop a design method to find the optimum configurations and shapes for such structures...

Structural Failure and Quality Assurance of Space Frames
Space frame has been developed rapidly in China and used to wide extent to cover various types of buildings. The large scale of application will unavoidably cause quality problems. Damages...

Experimental Study on a Buckling Behavior of a Wooden Single-Layer Space Frame of Reticular Shell on a Hexagonal Plan: Influence due to the Bolted Joint Looseness with Axial and Bending Resistance
The authors have investigated about the structural behavior of a wooden single-layer space frame structure with the bolted joints. We have carried out a buckling tests of a wooden single-layer...

On some Problems of the Multicriteria Optimization of the Spatial Grid Structures
One can not think contemporary structure designed without consciously complying with optimization methods. Creative activity of engineers have to be optimal or semi-optimal. It is necessary...

Research and Application of Various Joints of Space Grid Structures in China
This paper introduces the research work results and applications of various joints of space grid structures in China. It also gives out formulas for determining the loading capacity and...

Dynamic Analysis of Unstable Structural Systems With Prescribed Velocities
Structural systems that have large inextentional deformation, or in other words, deformation without stain are called 'Unstable Structural Systems.' They include cable structures, membrane...

Continuous Pulse Control of Structures with Material Nonlinearity
A control method is presented for reducing the dynamic response of structures in the inelastic material range using a control force from an active control system. The proposed method of...

Sensitivity and Optimum Structural Design
Modern design requires more advanced considerations leading to light and safe structures. One of the way to reach this aim is through structural optimization. Today's computational possibilities...

Possibilities and Problems of Latticed Structures
Several fundamental aspects of space frames which are sometimes referred to as latticed structures are discussed. Terminology of the structural system is first considered. Special features...
