The concrete core structures consist of a number of connected shear walls that form a
tubular section. The core section might be open or closed using a series of beams or floor …

This paper presents the methodology, model description, and calibration as well as the
application of a coupled hysteretic model to account for nonlinear shear–flexure interactive …

A study was conducted to develop a modeling approach that integrates flexure and shear
interaction under cyclic loading conditions to obtain reliable predictions of inelastic …

Inelastic failure of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under seismic loadings can be due
either to loss of flexural, shear, or bond capacity. This paper describes the formulation of an …

Despite the frequent use of C-shaped reinforced concrete (RC) cores as the primary force-
resisting system in multistory buildings, there are still challenges in estimating their inelastic …

This paper proposes a coupled axial–shear–flexure interacting (ASFI) hysteretic model that
can capture the nonlinear interactive behavior of RC columns under combined action of …

This study investigates the feasibility of detecting structural damage using the HHT method.
A damage detection index, the ratio of bandwidth (RB) is proposed. This index is highly …

An important objective of a structural health monitoring systems is to detect damage from
measured vibration data. The damage generally produces changes in the structural …

The damage to reinforced concrete (RC) bridges observed in the 1971 San Fernando, 1994
Northridge, and 1995 Kobe earthquakes prompted significant research efforts within the …

In a fixed connection of a reinforced concrete bridge column, experiments have shown that
the longitudinal reinforcing bars slip at the interface of the connection under cyclic seismic …
