In this study, a novel approach for random vibration analysis of nonlinear frame structures under seismic random excitations is developed. The explicit time-domain method is improved in this approach ...

For lightweight steel frame structures consisting of steel H-beams and cold-formed steel columns filled with concrete, seismic performance comparison tests and numerical simulation analyses were ...

For over a century, wood pole structures have been used to support overhead powerlines. Over time, as the utility industry expanded, the basic wood pole structure has evolved, but regardless of ...
