Full textAbstract:
Reinforced concrete (RC) frames are an integral part of modern construction as they resist both gravity and lateral loads in beams and columns. However, the construction methodologies of RC frames are vulnerable to non-engineering defects, particularly in developing countries. The most common non-engineering defect occurs due to improper lap splice, which can compromise the structural integrity. This research demonstrates an easy, low-cost, and verifiable experimental technique incorporating micro-concrete to evaluate the seismic performance of a completely engineered RC frame with the defect of improper lap splice. The micro-concrete was prepared by using the locally available material for a target compressive strength and then two scaled-down RC frames (1/16 scale) were prepared, including one proper frame and another with improper lap splice. Finally, these frames were tested on a shake table to study their behavior under various seismic loading conditions. This study quantifies the severity of high-risk structural systems due to non-engineering defects. The experimental results demonstrate that improper lap splice can alter the frame’s damage points, triggering the failure of the whole structure.

Full textAbstract:
In seismic design, structural irregularity has been found to have a significant influence on structural response. The impact of structural irregularity on the global response of steel frame structures subjected to blast loading has not been examined. In the paper, six seismically designed steel framed structures are considered: moment resisting frames (MRF), concentrically braced frames (CBF) and eccentrically braced frames (EBF) each with geometric irregularity in the plan and with a geometric irregularity in the elevation. The blast loads are assumed to be unconfined, free air burst detonated 15 ft from one of the center columns. The structures are modeled and analyzed using the Applied Element Method, which allows the structure to be examined during and through structural failure. A plastic hinge analysis is performed as well as a comparative analysis observing roof deflection and acceleration to determine the effect of geometric irregularity under extreme blast loading conditions. Two different blast locations are examined. Conclusions of this research are a concentrically braced frame provides somewhat of a higher level of resistance to blast loading for irregular structures and geometric irregularity has an impact on the response of a structure subjected to blast loading.

Every year earthquakes, tornadoes and other extreme windstorm cause fatalities or even kill people, devastate and millions of dollars worth of property. The likelihood that a tornado will strike building is a matter of probability. The study describes the analysis and design, the engineering process the new type of tornado safe room (Fig. 1) according to the FEMA guidance. It also evaluates the effects of in-fill frames and the linear response of reinforced concrete braced frames and comparison with frames with shear wall. The main conclusion drawn from this study is to elaborate that the masonry in-fills, are strongly influence the structural seismic response and contribute to the overall stiffness and can decrease drifts and displacements. Infill walls have significant role in the strength and ductility of RC framed structures and should be considered in both analysis and design globally. These walls make the structure significantly stiffer, and reduce the natural period of the structure. Locally, infill walls changed the load path, the distribution of forces between different elements of the structure, and the change the demand of forces on their adjacent elements of the bounding frame. Due to the high relative stiffness of the infill frames, they act as the main lateral load-resisting system and attract larger portions of the earthquake and tornado induced inertia forces.

Full textAbstract:
Reinforced concrete buildings with shearwalls are very efficient to resist earthquake disturbances. In general, reinforced concrete frames are governed by flexure and low-rise shearwalls are governed by shear. If a structure includes both frames and shearwalls, it is generally governed by shearwalls. However, the ductility of ordinary reinforced concrete framed shearwalls is very limited. The experiments on framed shearwalls made of corrugated steel was recently reported. It was found that the ductility of framed shearwalls can be greatly improved if the thickness of the corrugated steel wall is appropriate to the surrounding reinforced concrete frame. If the thickness of the corrugated steel wall is too large when compared to the surrounding frame, the ductility will be reduced. It is shown in this paper that the fiber-reinforced plastic composites can be used to strengthen the critical regions of the reinforced concrete frames, so that the seismic behavior (including ductility and energy dissipation capability) is greatly improved.

The structural stability, constructability, economic feasibility, environmental-friendliness, and energy efficiency of hybrid composite frame systems have been demonstrated by practical application and research. A hybrid composite frame system combines the economy of precast concrete structures with the constructability of steel frame structures, including erection speed. Novel composite frames will ultimately maximize the efficiency of structural design and facilitate construction. This paper presents hybrid precast frames, which are precast composite frames based on a simple connection between precast concrete columns and beams. The hybrid precast frames designed to resist gravity loading consist of PC columns, PC beams, and steel inserted in the precast members. Steel sections located between the precast columns were simply connected to steel inserted at each end of the precast beams. Dynamic analysis of a 15-story building designed with the proposed composite frame was performed to determine the dynamic characteristics of a building constructed of hybrid frames, including frequencies and mode shapes.

PurposeReinforced concrete structural frames with masonry infills (infill-frames) are commonly used for construction worldwide. While the behavior of such frames has been studied extensively in the context of earthquake loading, studies related to their fire performance are limited. Therefore, this study aims to characterize the behavior of infill-frames under fire exposure by presenting a state-of-the-art literature review of the same.Design/methodology/approachBoth experimental and computational studies have been included with a special emphasis on numerical modeling (simplified as well as advanced). The cold behavior of the infill-frame and its design requirements in case of fire exposure are first reviewed to set the context. Subsequently, the applicability of numerical modeling strategies developed for modeling cold infill-frames to simulate their behavior under fire is critically examined.FindingsThe major hurdles in developing generic numerical models for analyzing thermo-mechanical behavior of infill-frames are identified as: lack of temperature-dependent material properties, scarcity of experimental studies for validation and idealizations in coupling between thermal and structural analysis.Originality valueThis study presents one of the most popular research problems connected with practical and reliable utilization of numerical models, as a good alternative to expensive traditional furnace testing, in assessing fire resistance of infill-frames. It highlights major challenges in thermo-mechanical modeling of infill-frames and critically reviews the available approaches for modeling infill-frames subjected to fire.

A test on a full-scale model of a three-spans and two-story steel moment frame with dampers and releasable slab was conducted. The details of the test frames, test instruments, set-up procedures, and test procedures were presented. The column and beam were connected by dampers that could initiate the plastic deformation during cyclic loading before damage occurred in the beam and column. The precast concrete slab was designed to be releasable and for saving story height. The primary objective of this test was to verify structural performance and constructability of a full-scale sustainable steel frame. Test results confirm that the sustainable frame showed stable hysteretic behavior without any serious damage up to a drift angle of 1/12; and the sustainable frames were released systematically in spite of serious cyclic loading.

Experimentally determined dynamic responses of ten scale models of masonry infilled steel frames were compared with the results of three simple analytical models. Effects investigated included stiffening and strengthening contribution of the masonry infill, degradation of the system, motion intensity, frame stiffness, and rotational joint rigidity at slab-to-column intersections. Tests on one-third scale models, subjected to sinusoidal motions, revealed that masonry infill markedly increases the dynamic strength and stiffness of the system. At weak-to-moderate motions (below 0.5 g), models exhibited a nonlinear response before the final failure, while strong motions accelerated the system degradation rate. Stiffer frames and rotationally rigid joints resulted in significantly increased system dynamic strength. A braced frame model wherein cross-bracing replaces the panel action adequately predicted linear and lower-region nonlinear responses of infilled frames with flexible column-to-slab rotational conditions. Satisfactory predictions of the linear response of framed walls with rigid column-to-slab rotational conditions were made with a single degree of freedom model. The third analytical model based on an equivalent strut technique was found to be unsatisfactory for predicting dynamic response of masonry infilled frames. Key words: masonry panel, steel frame, shear, dynamic, analytical, experimental.

This research explores curriculum management in higher education using Bolman and Deal’s Four Frames Model. The study focuses on a private Southern California university’s curriculum management process, examining it through the structural, human resources, political, and symbolic frames. The structural frame emphasizes role clarity and formal processes, while the human resources frame highlights relationships and individual well-being. The political frame addresses conflicts and power dynamics, emphasizing checks and balances. Finally, the symbolic frame emphasizes the meaning and purpose of curriculum changes, particularly in enhancing student learning. The analysis reveals a well-structured curriculum management process that fosters relationships, manages conflicts constructively, and remains connected to the overarching purpose of improving student learning. The findings suggest that a balanced approach that considers these frames can lead to effective curriculum management in higher education institutions.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to create computational models and criteria for assessing the robustness of reinforced concrete frames of multi-storey buildings in case of stability failure of their elements under accidental actions accounting for the mode of loading and energy dissipation. Experimental studies of deformation and fracture of reinforced concrete frames under an accidental impact allowed to identify, depending on the design solutions, two characteristic failure mechanisms: due to the loss of cross-sectional strength for frames of the first and second types with the slenderness of the columns of 4.8; due to the loss of stability for the frame of the third type with the slenderness of the columns of 22. Application of the theory of structural stability and dynamics allowed to construct a multi-level design model and an algorithm for assessing the stability of physically and structurally nonlinear frames. The study formulates and substantiates the criteria of stability failure of the eccentrically compressed elements and the structural system as a whole under an accidental action. As such criteria the following ones are considered: equality to zero of the increment of deformation energy of the system or achievement of zero tangent stiffness of its elements.

The truck that is used as running equipment for freight car support is a core structural part that supports the load of the car body and that greatly influences the safety of freights and vehicles, as well as their running performance. The running equipment is composed of truck frames, wheels and wheel axles, independent suspensions, and brakes. Among these components, the truck frame supporting the load of the vehicles and freights may be the most important one. This study was carried out to analyze the structure of truck frames and to determine whether they are safe when the maximum vertical load, breaking load, and front and rear loads are applied to them. This was done by subjecting the truck frames to stress tests and then measuring the stress on each of their parts. Before the load test, a structural-analysis program was used for the stress distribution analysis of the truck frame. To measure the stresses based on the results of the structural analysis, strain gages were attached to the surfaces of truck frames. The results of the stress tests showed that truck frames have a safe vehicle load design.

Since the 19th century, portal frames have been used to build industrial buildings because the development process is fast, economical, and efficient. This research aims to look at the cross-section of structural elements in BS 5950-1:2000 spans of 15 m and 40 m using SNI 1726:2019 with modal analysis, including horizontal deflection and stress ratio, using LRFD and ASD methods. Then, the structure was revised to be safe against earthquakes researched in three zones, including low (OMF), medium (IMF), and high (SMF) earthquakes. The results of this research show that the horizontal deflection's magnitude still falls within the allowable limit, with the maximum value on Tarutung, the SMF system, and KDS E on a 15-m span of 43.828 mm and a 40-m span of 68.703 mm. However, several of the IMF and SMF systems' cross-sectional structures exceeded the stress ratio capacity. After revision, the percentage ratios of the maximum structural weight using cross-sections on the Indonesian market using two methods and three frame systems with spans of 15 m and 40 m are 16.050% and 17.240%, respectively. The obtained maximum structural weight exceeds the cross-sections of the British standard before revision by 13.935% and 13.187%. It is an SMF system.

Full textAbstract:
Drywalls are the typical infill or partitions used in new structures. They are usually located within structural frames and/or between upper and lower floor slabs in buildings. Due to the materials used in their construction, unlike masonry blocks, they can be considered as light non-structural infill/partition walls. These types of walls are especially popular in New Zealand and the USA. In spite of their popularity, little is known about their in-plane cyclic behaviour when infilled within a structural frame. The cause of this lack of knowledge can be attributed to the typical assumption that they are weak non-structural elements and are not expected to interact with the surrounding structural system significantly. However, recent earthquakes have repeatedly shown that drywalls interact with the structure and suffer severe damage at very low drift levels. In this paper, experimental test results of two typical drywall types (steel and timber framed) are reported in order to gather further information on; i) their reverse cyclic behaviour, ii) inter-storey drift levels at which they suffer different levels of damage, iii) the level of interaction with the surrounding structural frame system. The drywall specimens were tested using quasi-static reverse cyclic testing protocols within a full scale precast RC frame at the Structures Laboratory of the University of Canterbury.

The large impact of building structures on the environment must be reduced to meet the global targets fixed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Standard building structures with constant prismatic cross-section have material inefficiencies of around 66% (and up to 75% in some cases) that need to be addressed. Structural shaping, a subfield of shape optimization, offers a pathway to reduce the impact of building materials on the environment. Shaping statically determinate structures such as simply supported beams is relatively straightforward, but offers few design options compared to statically indeterminate structures. However, no methods provide an efficient way for designers to shape these systems according to their design intent or efficiency goals. Based on plasticity theory, this paper presents a shaping methodology to explore the design space of shaped indeterminate frame structures. The methodology is implemented in three case studies.<br/> In all the case studies, the methodology allows for the exploration of material-efficient yet diverse designs of shaped indeterminate frame structures. The implementation of this methodology can promote the use of structural shaping by offering more agency to structural designers to create diverse and efficient structural systems.

In India the enormous loss of life and property perceived in the last couple of decades, attributable to failure of structures instigated by earthquakes. Responsiveness is now being given to the assessment of the sufficiency of strength in framed RCC structures to resist solid ground motions. The seismic reaction of RCC building frame in terms of performance point and the earthquake forces on Reinforced building frame with the help of pushover analysis is carried out in this project. In this method of analysis a model of the building is exposed to a lateral load. Pushover analysis can afford a substantial insight into the weak links in seismic concert of a structure and we can know the weak zones in the structure. In this project effort has been made to investigate the effect of Shear Wall and Structural Wall on lateral displacement and Base Shear in RCC Frames. RCC Frames with G+13 are considered, one with soft storey and other with normal building in L- shape.

The characteristics of large logistics buildings are their long spans and the ability to take heavy loads. Usually, PC components are used for their frames to ensure quick construction. However, the erection of most pin jointed PC structures increases the time and the cost incurred for ensuring structural stability and construction safety. To solve this problem, “smart” frames have been developed, which have tapered steel joints at both ends of the PC components. A smart frame with the moment frame concept not only assures structural stability and construction safety, but it also simplifies and quickens the erection because of its tapered joint detail. The purpose of this study is to compare the erection time and cost effects of the steel connected PC components for heavily loaded long-span logistics buildings with the existing PC frames. For this study, we selected a logistics building constructed with PC components and redesigned it as the smart frame, and the erection simulations were performed. We analyzed the time reduction effects of the smart frame. Our results confirmed that the use of the smart frame reduced the erection time and cost practically. Our investigations will help develop the erection simulation algorithms for smart frames.

Simple bracing frames can be divided into two types in terms of concentric or eccentric. Concentric bracing frames are frames that intersect with other structural members at one point in the structure along the bracing members. Otherwise, the braced frame will be eccentric. It is said empirically that due to this type of shaping, eccentric bracing frames exhibit more ductile behavior and concentric bracing frames exhibit more stiff behavior. This behavioral difference caused this study to be numerically computing for five frames, including unique concentric and eccentric bracing frames of 5 and 10 stories and an ordinary 5-story concentric bracing frame. Their tensions and drift ratios should be acceptable for the use of residential buildings. Using the primary two steps of the new PEER probabilistic framework, namely, probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and structural analysis, which leads to the drawing of fragility curves, the probability of collapse is obtained to compare the safety capability of these frames according to their different characteristics against earthquakes. The results show that increasing the ductility or increasing the number of floors or the height of these systems can reduce collapse. Also, according to the results of the probability of collapse obtained in frames with 5-story concentric bracing frames, it can be said that some of the current regulations, which work based on previous approaches of analysis, can lead to unsafe structures with a high probability of collapse.

The study involves the inelastic cyclic testing and numerical analysis of tested beam-columns and portal frames in order to evaluate the effects of tapering ratios of LP plates, penetration of yielding, and number of locally buckled panels on their structural ductility. A structural design method is proposed for the portal frames having LP panels under cyclic loadings.

This study focuses on structural design, which is a primary aspect of civil engineering. Investigating the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) frame systems subjected to lateral loading and estimating the damage state of a structure still remain challenging tasks in civil engineering. Reinforced concrete is currently used in a majority of constructions and Conventional buildings remain vulnerable to seismic earthquakes. The aim of this research is to identify how well RC frames with basalt and steel fibers perform under cyclic loading. Steel and basalt fibers are chopped to a size of 2.5 cm. The reinforcements details are made according to IS 13920-2016. The concrete specimen used for this work is in the form of a single-bay, two-story frame, which is composed of reinforced concrete along with chopped steel and basalt fibers of two different proportions. Three frames are cast. One is a RC concrete frame with no fiber materials (conventional concrete) and the other two frames are cast with different proportions of fiber content. The basalt fiber is added to the specimens in proportions of 0.25 % and 0.50 %. The experimental outcome attained from the specimens of 0.25 % of basalt fiber has superior load-carrying capacity as well as minimum story drift than the other two frames. The ductile behavior of BFRC is increased compared to that in conventional ones. It is observed that the crack width of the BFRC is less when compared to that in the conventional concrete.

Using this method, a single model was globally refined against many frames from the same data series, thereby capturing the frame-to-frame tendencies of the irradiated sample. These are compared with models refined in the traditional manner, in which refinement is based on the average profile of a set of consecutive frames from the same data series without an in-depth comparison of individual frames. This is considered to be an attractive model-refinement scheme as it considerably lowers the total number of parameters refined from the data series, produces tendencies that are automatically consistent between frames, and utilizes a considerably larger portion of the recorded data than is often performed in such experiments. Additionally, a method is outlined for correcting a measured UV absorption signal by accounting for potential peak broadening by the experimental setup.

Improvements in construction technologies have allowed steel structural elements to become more frequently used today in order to enable different architectural designs and to meet structural performance more effectively and efficiently. Structural steel has been used for more than a hundred years and has been tested under real earthquakes, which provide the basis of many earthquake-resistant steel construction standards. The major advantage of steel construction material is that it allows for large plastic deformations. Structural deformations vary depending on the deformation capacity of the structural components in addition to the configuration of the structural components. In this study, moment resisting frames (MRF), X braced frame (XBF), Inverse V braced frame (IVBF), K braced frame (KBF), and eccentric inverse V braced frames (EIVBF) were used to examine the effect of different steel braced systems on the plastic deformation capacity of steel structure with the help of nonlinear static pushover analysis. Bilinear material model was utilized to represent nonlinear steel material behavior and inelastic displacement-based frame element were used to represent column and beam element. The analyses' results demonstrated that the braced frame configuration had a significant effect on the lateral response of steel frame structures.

At present, the engineering designers generally design and analyze the precast structural models according to the equivalent cast-in-situ principle, and have a vague understanding of non-identical problems. However, these issues cannot be ignored, especially for high-intensity areas. This paper considers the differences of the hysteretic relationship between two typical precast joints and cast-in-situ (RC) joints, and researches the influence of these differences on the seismic response of frame structures. For the monolithic precast joint, the force mechanism was analyzed based on its assembly form, and the differences with the RC joint in the testing phenomena were explained accordingly. The dimensionless hysteresis models of two types of joints were proposed, and the rationality of the monolithic precast joint model was verified according to the existing experimental results. Different performances of joints were realized by assigning the constitutive models calculated from sectional reinforcement to the spring elements of analysis models. Considering two possible performance deficiencies of each type of precast joint separately, a total of seven structural analysis models were formed. Nonlinear static analysis and dynamic time-history analysis methods were adopted to reveal the differences between precast frames and the RC frame in terms of structural capacity curve, displacement response, ductility demands of components and structural residual deformation. The results showed that under strong seismic excitation, the response differences between precast frames and the RC frame were significant, so it is worthwhile to establish nonlinear models suitable for precast frames in seismic analysis. This study is valuable for understanding and distinguishing the nonlinear response of precast frames and traditional RC frames.

Full textAbstract:
The X-braced frame represents a specialized variation of concentric-braced frames. It can be used as a resistance towards the lateral load acting on the structural system. X-braced frames generally exhibit lower flexibility when compared to eccentrically braced and moment frames, which is often perceived as a drawback of this structural system. To address this limitation, energy dissipation devices can be integrated into the system with X-bracings to absorb the plastic action and safeguard other structural elements, such as columns, beams and connections from earthquake forces. Specifically, X-concentrically braced frames are tailored through variations in groove shapes. Furthermore, the investigation determines the dampers' load-bearing and energy dissipation capacities. The assessment commences with cyclic load testing conducted using the ANSYS software. The grooves present in GGPD help dissipate seismic energy. The energy dissipation and load-bearing capacity of the X-concentrically braced frame equipped with a grooved gusset plate damper were compared based on different groove shapes. The different shapes used for the analysis were L shape, oval, rectangular and stadium shape. It was observed that oval-shaped grooves have more energy dissipation capacity among four groove shapes, with an increase of 10.74%.

Full textAbstract:
The accurate calculation of natural frequencies is important for vibration and earthquake analyses of structural frames. For this purpose, it is necessary to discretize each beam or column of the frame into one or more smaller elements. The required number of elements per member increases when the frame’s modal shapes have wavelengths similar to the beam lengths. This paper presents a method that reduces the number of elements needed for a precise calculation. This is achieved by implementing a straightforward local correction to the kinetic and elastic energy of certain elements, resulting in a substantial decrease in error. The validity of this method is demonstrated through a range of examples, from simple canonical cases to more realistic ones. Additionally, the paper discusses the unique features of this method and examines its relationship with other approaches.

The article considers and systematizes the load-bearing structural systems of buildings with complex space-planning configurations, taking into account design solutions, structural loading and stress states. The features of the perception of loads and their rational distribution between the structural elements of frame buildings with complex space-planning solutions are analyzed. The main structural schemes of complex frames, schemes of their deformations and plots of moments under the influence of vertical and horizontal loads are introduced. The paper reflects the modern practice of preliminary approximate calculations of the approximate dimensions of the sections of frame structures of frame buildings for the possibility of further collecting loads and performing refined calculations using modern calculation software systems.
The proposed method for modeling the nature of the work of complex frames of frame buildings and coordinating their space-planning, design and calculation systems will be useful for researchers, architects and design engineers during the design of new types of buildings, taking into account their operation under emergency conditions.

Full textAbstract:
Concentrically braced steel frames are one of the most commonly used structural systems because of their structural efficiency, simplicity to analyze and design, and ease of construction and repair. Canadian design codes provide specifications for their design under seismic loading based on the large amount of knowledge related to their seismic response accumulated over the past two decades. This paper examines the impact of a dual system with a moment resisting frame acting in parallel with the concentrically braced frame. Four different frames were designed in accordance with the National Building Code of Canada and CSA-S16.1-M89, and their inelastic responses are studied under the action of both monotonically increasing load and seismic load. The relative strengths and stiffnesses of the frames comprising the dual systems were varied. The ductility demands on members, and overall building deflections and storey drifts, were examined under the action of ten earthquake records. It is concluded that improved performance such as reduced ductility demand and improved uniformity of the distribution of yield throughout the structure can be achieved. However, the stiffness and strength in the moment resisting frame necessary to provide marked improvement must be a significant proportion of those of the braced frame. Key words: structural engineering, earthquakes, inelastic analysis, concentric bracing, dual system, steel, buckling.

Full textAbstract:
Following the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, engineers recognized the superior performance of buildings with complete vertical load–carrying steel frames and infill masonry walls. These buildings were noteworthy in their ability to survive both the ground shaking and fire, many remaining in service today. Observation of this superior performance led many California structural engineers to believe that steel frames were the best structural system for resisting earthquake damage, in turn, leading to a proliferation of steel-frame construction in California cities. Not until the 1994 Northridge earthquake did many California engineers recognize that steel-frame structures can and do experience severe earthquake damage. The performance capability of early steel-frame buildings with infill masonry walls, however, remains unclear, despite improved understanding of their structural response characteristics.

Full textAbstract:
Infill walls are the most common separator panels in typical reinforced-concrete (RC) frame structures. It is crucial to investigate the influence of the infill walls on the earthquake behavior of RC frames. The load resistance of infill materials was often not taken into account in the designing phase, whereas the infill walls have significant contributions to the structural behavior under lateral and vertical loadings. A three-dimensional 4-story RC building is designed, and in order to make a realistic model, different infill walls configurations were taken into account with the openings in the infill. Four different models were created for structural analysis for infill wall effects, namely, full RC infilled frame (Model I), corner infill at ground story RC infilled frame (Model II), open ground story RC infilled frame (Model III), and bare RC frame (Model IV). Static adaptive pushover analysis has been performed for all structural models by using the SeismoStruct software. The double strut nonlinear cyclic model was used for modeling the infill walls. In this study, three different compressive strengths of infill walls are taken into consideration, and the effects on seismic design factors (namely, the response reduction factor, the ductility, the overstrength factor, and the deflection factor) are calculated. The obtained values of the response reduction factor (R) are compared with the given values in the BIS code. The results show that the R factors of all RC infilled frames are decreased when the compressive strength of the masonry infill reduces. However, the R values of bare frames are less than the corresponding values recommended in the BIS code. It is worth noting that the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) provisions underestimate the deflection factors of the reinforced-concrete (RC) frames according to the evaluated deflection factors of the herein studied RC frames.

Introduction. The partial replacement of cast-in-situ concrete with precast concrete in the residential construction sector allows to reduce construction time and cost, increase labour productivity and cut CO2 emissions. Combinations of prefabricated and monolithic elements in precast monolithic frames are presented; they encompass 6 different structural options of precast monolithic frames and 2 types of monolithic frames. The co-authors compare production costs and integrated labor intensity for all frame design options, construction periods per 1,000 m3 of a residential building for various structural options of the frame, and assess potential reduction in carbon dioxide emissions due to a change in the amount of precast reinforced concrete in the building frame structure.
Materials and methods. The co-authors have developed a method that employs weighted average to identify the optimal type of a precast monolithic frame. The method takes account of such factors as production costs, integrated labour intensity, construction time and reduction in carbon dioxide gas emissions (in per centum) per 1,000 m3 of the frame structure.
Results. The optimal structure of a precast monolithic frame was selected and calculated using weighted average. Weighted average was used to identify the most effective structural frame. The calculation results have shown that ARKOS precast monolithic frame with precast columns is the leader in terms of weighted average; it best suits the construction of a residential building. If we consider each of the selected indicators separately, RECON frame with precast floors is to be selected; however, RECON is inferior to ARKOS in terms of weighted average due to different values of the weight coefficients attached to each of the assessment criteria.
Conclusions. The co-authors have proven the efficiency of precast monolithic frame systems in comparison with monolithic frames if applied to construct a residential building. The proposed method was employed to select the optimal type of frame.

Structural frame systems that consists of concrete-encased-steel-embedded composite columns and reinforced concrete beams are typically used in mid-rise to tall buildings. In order to understand their overall structural behavior, a total of 12 frame models with high and low ductility features were constructed and analyzed using LS-DYNA software. Two of these models were validated using the results of previously tested frames. The remaining 10 models were studied to predict the behavior of frames with varying concrete strengths, reinforcement configurations, and structural steel sections under vertical and lateral loads. The results were investigated in terms of cracks and failure patterns, load-deflection relationships, energy dissipation, and stiffness degradation. The analytical results indicated that the high ductile frame models showed slightly better lateral load carrying performances compared to low ductility frame models. Moreover, the analytical studies demonstrated that the existence of structural steel in a column, regardless of its cross-sectional shape, was the most important parameter in improving the lateral load carrying capacity of a frame.

A simple analytical procedure, which can be used by practicing engineers, for the seismic design of masonry-infilled frames is presented. The analysis procedure, based on the experimental and analytical studies reported in the literature, accounts for the effect of infills in all three stages, namely, in computing seismic loading, in predicting response of the infilled frame, and in determining the strength of the infilled frame. Seismic loading is computed using the dynamic properties of the structure rather than arbitrary empirical relationships as recommended in design codes. Recommendations regarding the choice of infilled frame idealization, structural damping ratio, earthquake design spectrum, structural irregularity, and computational aids are made. Practical guidelines, which can be implemented during the construction phase and which have beneficial effects on the behaviour of infilled frames, are provided. Application of the proposed analytical procedure in a design situation is demonstrated through a numerical example, and it is shown that infills can be accounted for in the seismic design of frames during the normal course of design.

As the construction industry places increasing emphasis on environmental conservation and sustainability, this trend has spurred profound research into the optimization of door and window performance. One of the critical components of windows is their frames. Over the past several decades, the design of window frames has undergone significant innovations, ranging from introducing new materials to novel design concepts. The performance of window frames is typically influenced by materials, structural design, and the surrounding environment. Consequently, this paper analyzes the common window frame materials in Chinese civil buildings through investigation. It explores commonly used types of window frames available in the market, focusing on their materials and structural designs. It analyzes issues observed during their usage, integrates findings from existing research, and discusses the performance of window frame materials. Additionally, it explores improvement strategies to meet the evolving demands of contemporary and future architectural doors and windows, providing valuable reference points for designers. Finally, approaching the discussion from a sustainable development perspective, the paper evaluates the environmental impact of wood, aluminum alloy, polymer, and composite window frame materials. It emphasizes that wood- and aluminum-clad wood windows represent sustainable options with versatile applications in diverse scenarios.

This paper presents a method for identifying the optimal designs of components and joints in the space frame body structures of passenger vehicles considering structural characteristics, manufacturability, and assembleability. Dissimilar to our previous work based on graph decomposition, the problem is posed as a simultaneous determination of the locations and types of joints in a structure and the cross sections of the joined structural frames, selected from a predefined joint library. The joint library is a set of joint designs containing the geometry of the feasible joints at each potential joint location and the cross sections of the joined frames, associated with their structural characteristics as equivalent torsional springs obtained from the finite element analyses of the detailed joint geometry. Structural characteristics of the entire structure are evaluated by finite element analyses of a beam-spring model constructed from the selected joints and joined frames. Manufacturability and assembleability are evaluated as the manufacturing and assembly costs estimated from the geometry of the components and joints, respectively. The optimization problem is solved by a multiobjective genetic algorithm using a direct crossover. A case study on an aluminum space frame of a midsize passenger vehicle is discussed.

The paper proposes a key frame extraction method for video copyright protection. The fast and robust method is based on frame difference with low level features, including color feature and structure feature. A two-stage method is used to extract accurate key frames to cover the content for the whole video sequence. Firstly, an alternative sequence is got based on color characteristic difference between adjacent frames from original sequence. Secondly, by analyzing structural characteristic difference between adjacent frames from the alternative sequence, the final key frame sequence is obtained. And then, an optimization step is added based on the number of final key frames in order to ensure the effectiveness of key frame extraction. Compared with the previous methods, the proposed method has advantage in computation complexity and robustness on several video formats, video resolution, and so on.

A numerical study of the parameters affecting the impact between adjacent buildings subjected to seismic excitation has been carried out in an endeavour to quantify the relative importance of the structural parameters.
A two-dimensional inelastic dynamic analysis program was used to model various combinations of adjacent framed structures subjected to ground accelerograms and where the frames are assumed to be separated by distances sufficiently small as to permit contact. Collisions were modelled using special contact elements which will transmit forces when the specified gap has been closed.
It will be shown that where there are adjoining frames are of different heights, large increases in response are observed in the upper part of the taller frame. Pounding can also amplify the effects of localised changes in stiffness and strength up the frame-, producing member demands greatly in excess of the normal design values.

Full textAbstract:
Two test objects of concrete frame behavior against lateral loading were performed by applying structural analysis with the wall as diagonal reinforcement in modeling. The results of the structural analysis indicated that concrete frames with walls have better performance than concrete frames without walls. Twelve objects consisting of the frame without the wall, frame with the wall, and frames with a group of steel and bamboo as diagonal reinforcement at brick walls and concrete panel walls were tested at the laboratory with monotonic lateral forces that work parallel to the wall as the illustration of earthquake loads. The diagonal reinforcement elements can spread the force received by the wall and increase the strength of the wall as well as enhance the stiffness of the structural system at once. Bracing contributes to increasing the strength, especially in resisting the compressive forces due to the earthquake loads. Deformation occurs in the opposite direction between compression path and tension path at the diagonal area. The failure in the concrete frame can be caused by the in-plane force parallel to the wall. Bamboo is quite effective to be used as a substitute for steel reinforcement as bracing material despite its shortage of steel quality.

A state-of-the-art review of the behaviour of steel frame structures in fire is presented. Results from different studies indicate that the behaviour of a complete structure is different from that of a single structural member under fire conditions from the point of view of fire resistance. Earlier studies also show that analysis and design of steel structures against fire based on their overall behaviour could lead to a reduction or the elimination of applied fire protection to certain structural members. The effects of continuity, restraint conditions, and load ratio on the fire resistance of frame structures are discussed. The beneficial aspects derived from considering overall structural rather than single-member behaviour in fire are illustrated through the analysis on two one-bay, one-storey, unprotected steel portal frames, a column, and a beam. Also comparison is made between the performance of a beam with different end restraints in fire. Results from the analyses indicate that the fire resistance of a member is increased when it is considered as part of a structure compared with when it is considered as a single member.Key words: steel, frames, fire resistance, buckling, loads, overall structural behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
The ABAQUS finite-element analysis platform was used to understand the mechanical behavior of concrete-filled steel tube reinforced concrete (CFSTRC) columns and steel reinforced concrete (SRC) beam plane frames under fire conditions. Thermal parameters and mechanical constitutive model of steel and concrete materials were reasonably selected, the correct boundary conditions were chosen, and a numerical model for the thermal mechanical coupling of CFSTRC columns and SRC beam plane frame structure was established. The finite-element model was verified from related experimental test results. The failure modes, deformation, and internal force distribution of the CFSTRC column and SRC beam plane frames were analyzed under ISO-834 standard fire conditions and with an external load. The influence of beam and column fire-load ratio on the fire resistance of the frame structure was established, and the fire-resistance differences between the plane frame structures and columns were compared. The CFSTRC column-steel reinforced concrete beam plane frame may undergo beam failure or the column and beam may fail simultaneously. The frame structure fire-resistance decreased with an increase of column and beam fire-load ratio. The column and beam fire-load ratio influence the fire resistance of the frames significantly. In this numerical example, the fire resistance of the frames is less than the single columns. It is suggested that the fire resistance of the frame structure should be considered when a fire-resistant structural engineering design is carried out.

The objective of this paper is to provide basic information on structural behavior of Korea traditional wooden frames under earthquake loading. One of prototype wooden frames for this study was chosen from a designated national treasure in Korea. A series of experimental work were prepared to investigate the behavior and hysteresis characteristics of traditional wooden frames under cyclic lateral loading. Three test specimens of a full scale were performed for cyclic hysteretic behaviors based on one static test specimen as a pilot test. The experimental observation showed stiffness degradations and slips after experiencing initial yield point and the first cycle at a new larger displacement due to inherent gaps in connections between columns and connection parts of beams and a gradual indentation of interfaces under pull and push. Addition of structural components such as an upper beam and clay-filled wall to the basic beam and columns increased the initial stiffness, strength and energy dissipation than those of basic frames. The behaviors of the wooden frames were simulated by DRAIN-2DX program for the dynamic analysis of an entire wooden frame system. Comparison between analysis models and the experimental behaviors showed that the behavior of wooden frames under consideration could be represented by a combination of link and truss elements. The maximum response of a wooden frame system under three earthquakes showed a safe behavior for a potential earthquake.

Eccentricity on the braced frames can sometimes not be avoided to facilitate some structural considerations, such as openings. V-type braced frames are among the most widely used bracing types because of their satisfying performance. The present study investigated the effect of eccentricity as 15 cm, and 25 cm on the reinforced concrete braced frames of 80 cm x 100 cm in dimension compared to V-type of Concentric Braced Frame (CBF). Results indicated that a frame with 15 cm of eccentricity has almost similar stress but higher strain compared to the CBF while the frame with 25 cm of eccentricity resulted in lowest stress but highest strain. As the eccentricity rises, a frame is likely to behave as a moment-resisting frame. Link beams are the most critical part of the Eccentric Braced Frame
