Non-Linear Behavior and Shear Strength of Diagonally Stiffened Steel Plate Shear Walls
In this study, non-linear behavior of diagonally stiffened steel plate shear walls as a seismic resisting system has been investigated, and theoretical formulas for estimating shear strength capacity of the system have been proposed. Several validated analytical finite element models of steel shear walls with various stiffener dimensions are generated to verify and compare the analytical and th...
متن کاملDriveability Analysis Techniques for Offshore Pile Installations
Pile driveability analyses for offshore platforms require a unique set of criteria, which may not normally be associated with other pile foundation installations. The selected hammers, pile makeup details and soil profile must be carefully reviewed, as these factors will determine if pile installations will be successful. The most important of the variables to establish is the expected Soil Res...
متن کاملLife Extension Issues for Ageing Offshore Installations
With many offshore installations in the UK sector of the North Sea now reaching or being in excess of their original anticipated design life, there is a particular need to evaluate approaches to structural integrity management by offshore operators. Ageing processes can affect the structural integrity of the installation and demonstration of adequate performance beyond its original design life ...
متن کاملMasonry Infill Walls under Blast Loading Using Confined Underwater Blast Wave Generators (wbwg)
The vulnerability of the masonry envelop under blast loading is considered critical due to the risk of loss of lives. The dynamic behaviour of masonry infill walls subjected to dynamic out-of-plane loading was experimentally investigated in this work. Using confined underwater blast wave generators (WBWG), applying the extremely high rate conversion of the explosive detonation energy into the k...
متن کاملStiffened Multi-bay Coupled Shear Walls on Elastic Foundation
Abstract – In this study, the static analysis of a multi-bay coupled shear wall on an elastic foundation, having any number of stiffening beams is studied using the continuous connection method (CCM). The shear wall is considered to be made up of a finite number of sections in the vertical direction, with or without stiffening beams between each pair of consecutive sections. This method of anal...
