[ 1 ] - Effect of Initial Local Failure Type on Steel Braced Frame Buildings against Progressive Collapse

In many studies, the alternative load path method (APM) has been used for progressive collapse analysis. In this method, one or several columns of the building are removed and the building response is investigated. This method ignores the initial local failure cause of building and this can affect the structural response. Investigation of ignoring the initial local failure cause of steel braced...

[ 2 ] - In situ strength assessment of concrete using recycled aggregates by means of small diameter cores.

By increasing the demolition of old concrete structures and the interest of civil industries to consume cheaper materials, using Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) can cause environmental protection and decrease the construction costs. On the other hand, the high potential of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) in concrete industry was established by extensive experimental researches were performe...

[ 3 ] - Predicting Shear Capacity of Panel Zone Using Neural Network and Genetic Algorithm

Investigating the behavior of the box-shaped column panel zone has been one of the major concerns of scientists in the field.  In the American Institute of Steel Construction the shear capacity of I-shaped cross- sections with low column thickness is calculated. This paper determines the shear capacity of panel zone in steel columns with box-shaped cross-sections by using artificial neural netw...
