FINITE ELEMENT CHARACTERIZATION OF THE BEHAVIOUR OF MASONRY INFILL SHEAR WALLS WITH AND WITHOUT OPENINGS
DownloadFall 2014
The current design practice is to ignore the interaction between masonry infill walls and containing frames due to the inadequate and incomplete guidance in current codes and standards. Most investigations on the behaviour of masonry infill shear walls were performed on scaled specimens and...

The current design provisions (2006 edition of CSA-S6) for horizontally curved steel I-girders in the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code are based on research conducted prior to the mid 1980's. Much research, experimental and numerical analysis, on horizontally curved girders has been conducted...

There are many design methodologies and philosophies intended to provide structural integrity or increase structural robustness, thereby making structures resistant to progressive collapse. However, there is little information that reveals sources and levels of inherent robustness in structural
for the new scenario. These recommendations can lead to more economical design and safer structural steel systems in the event of localised damage that has the potential to spread to a disproportionately large part of the structure. Connections play a major role in ensuring general integrity of
different types of steel structural systems. Hence, numerical investigations have been performed to extend the current body of knowledge on connections and, consequently, the structural response in the event of progressive collapse. This study is intended to examine the response of steel frames with simple

Buried steel pipelines are widely used in transportation and distribution of oil/gas products over long distance. The changing geo-environmental conditions over the line may subject the pipelines to unforeseen load combinations and prompt the failure and loss of containment of the pipelines that...
