Past research usually oversimplified surface structure as an equivalent elastic beam, which is unable to represent behaviour of a framed building realistically due to frame action.
Each earthquake record for each frame is scaled by the program by modifying the DRAIN input files in an automated manner until one of the links reaches the code-based limit rotation angle, and the resultant scale factors are utilized for comparison of the frames' inelastic behaviours.
Past studies have confirmed that the behaviour of an infill-frame can be remarkably different from that of a bare frame.
This paper presents a predictive analytical model for the elasto-plastic behaviour of a light timber-frame wall under horizontal loading.
By developing equivalent springs for the other components, a rheological model for elasto-plastic behaviour of a sheathed timber-frame as function of the mechanical properties of connections was also defined.
The present study used ANSYS/LS-DYNA software to investigate the damage behaviour of an underground box frame tunnel caused by a surface explosion of a sedan, van, small delivery truck (SDT), and container carrying 227, 454, 1814, and 4536 kg, respectively, of TNT charge weight.
Once the theoretical model had been validated, a study was then undertaken into the behaviour of a two-bay portal frame structure.
In this paper different approaches of fire resistance testing are described, together with brief description of two experiments focussed on verification of behaviour of a statically indeterminate steel frame exposed to high temperature which were carried out at VŠB-TU Ostrava.
The current work examines the buckling behaviour of an axially loaded framed spliced steel column.
Thirdly, positive framing, which means that the benefits of behaviour change are highlighted instead of a frame that focuses on the effect of not changing in terms of loss of healthy years of one's life, seems to help to increase patients' motivation [ 23, 28, 32- 34].
