Abstract Construction industry as a whole should transform into designs that enable demountability and direct reuse of structural elements to achieve the circularity in construction. Currently, connections enabling components construction are limited. Column base one main load transfer units steel structure for magnitude forces being transferred from superstructure. This paper presents an inter...

This paper compares base shear computed from floor accelerations (inertial base shear) and column shears (structural base shear) for several single-degree-of-freedom (SDF) systems and two mid-rise, multi-story buildings due to a suite of 30 earthquake ground motions. The presented results show that the inertial base shear is close to structural base shear in short-period (<1 sec) SDF systems bu...

We demonstrate an elegant combinatorial formula for the operation which adds a column on the homogeneous symmetric functions when this function acts on the Schur basis. A q-analog of this formula adds a column on the Hall-Littlewood basis. Résumé. Nous demontrons une formule élégante et combinatoire pour l’opérateur qui ajoute une colonne sur les fonctions symétriques homogène quand cet opérate...
