The important role played by the duration of ground shaking in the response of saturated soil
deposits is universally acknowledged, but no such consensus exists regarding the degree of …

Fatigue resistance is a key performance for the life-cycle sustainability of materials and
structures. Structural members subjected to flexural forces such as spring hinges in origami …

In this paper the behaviour of welded beam-to-column connections under low-cycle fatigue
is investigated in terms of failure criteria. A damage index and a failure criterion for steel …

The number of offshore wind turbine farms in seismic regions has been increasing globally.
The seismic performance of steel monopile-supported wind turbines, which are the most …

Continuing the tradition of the best-selling Handbook of Structural Engineering, this second
edition is a comprehensive reference to the broad spectrum of structural engineering …

In recent years, there has been a shift in typical steel construction from moment frames to
concentrically braced frames for use in regions of high seismic risk in the United States …

This paper presents a method for modeling the initiation and propagation of the damage in
steel structures under combined fatigue loading. An existing model in the literature is used …

Laser shock peening is a surface treatment technology inducing high-pressure shock waves
on metallic materials and structures. In this study, the life cycle performance improvement in …

One of the most recent trends in earthquake-resistant design of structures–damage control
when these are subjected to severe earthquakes–led to the development of an innovative …

This paper investigates the effects of composite slabs and connection details on the cyclic
performance of steel beam-to-HSS column moment connections through advanced …
