The design criterion for matching material stress, strain and earthquake fortification aim, is also given. The analysis results show that the high speed railway box girder with the absorber in this paper has great reduction effect in seismic response of the bridge piers.展开更多

According to previous research investigating the seismic performance of reinforced concrete members constructed with plain round bars, the strength of those members did not reach the calculated flexural strength due to bond slippage of main bars before yielding. It is important, therefore, to investigate the hysteretic bond mechanisms of plain round bars in concrete. In this research, analytical models were proposed to predict hysteretic bond-slip mechanisms between plain round bar and concrete depending on the results of experiments performed by the authors. In addition, the energy absorption capacity and the equivalent viscous damping factors obtained from the experimental results and analytical models are discussed. As a result of comparisons between the experimental data and the analysis models, good agreements were obtained.展开更多

Design focused CM （component model） is compared to FEM （finite elements models）. Procedure for composition of a model based on usual production process is used in CBFEM. Its results are compared to those obtained by component method for portal frame eaves moment connection with good agreement. Design of moment resistant column base is demonstrated by a case loaded by two directional bending moments and normal force. Interaction of several connections in one complex joint is explained in the last example. This paper aims to provide structural engineers with a new tool to effectively analyze and design various joints of steel structures.展开更多
