  • Load sharing and system factors for light-frame wall systems

    Creator:
    Yu, Guangren
    Abstract:
    A considerable amount of research has focused on load-sharing and system effects in repetitive-member wood floor systems subject to transverse loading. However, relatively few studies have been conducted to investigate load-sharing and system effects in repetitive-member wall systems which may be subject to combined transverse and gravity (vertical) loading, and...

  • Performance-based seismic design of light-frame shearwalls

    Creator:
    Kim, Jun Hee
    Abstract:
    Performance-based design has gained interest in recent years among structural designers and researchers. Performance-based design includes selection of appropriate building sites, structural systems and configurations, as well as analytical procedures used in the design process, to confirm that the structure has adequate strength, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity to respond...

  • Site-specific load models and hazards for probability-based design

    Creator:
    Lee, Kyung Ho
    Abstract:
    Structural design codes have evolved continuously since modern codes were established. The allowable stress design format has been widely used since the late 191h century. During the past two decades, probability-based limit states design concepts have evolved and are increasingly being used for various material and structural types. Limit state...
