The results indicate that the guyed mast displacement distributions along the heights are different from those observed in the conventional self-standing lattice towers. The characteristics of multi-mode participation are notable. As wind speeds increase, the alongwind resonant response peaks shift to lower frequencies and become less distinct. In contrast, the crosswind response peaks show no significant variation. The contributions of background and resonant response along the heights, respectively, exhibit a decreasing and an increasing tendency, and wind speed exerts an influence on these phenomena.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11763,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Structures","volume":"322 ","pages":"Article 119201"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142554890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recycling and reuse are central concepts in the circular economy. However, the installation and dismantling of structural elements often leave traces from previous use, such as holes from connectors like dowels or screws, internal piping and cabling. Therefore, it is crucial to develop methods to rigorously quantify the reduced load-bearing capacity of recycled beams due to potential holes using efficient and expedited methods akin to visual grading approaches. This work proposes a visual-based method for classifying recycled timber based on the geometric characteristics of the artificial holes. A stochastic mechanics-based numerical model was developed to predict the bending strength reduction of beams with random hole patterns and thus generate an extensive dataset for calibrating data-driven binary classification models. Machine learning and conditional classification models are used to determine if the reduction in bending strength is greater or less than 20%, being the predefined threshold value for reduced strength grading. An experimental campaign on timber beams with specific hole patterns, determined after experimental design, led to the numerical model validation and the calibration of thresholds for the conditional classification model, which relies on a single feature: the sum of the diameters of the holes in two beam regions. The study shows that with an elementary conditional model, high-performance metrics of the binary classification model comparable to machine learning techniques can be achieved. In other words, with a balanced dataset, accuracies over 80% in classifying the level of capacity reduction, greater or lesser than 20%, can be achieved simply by comparing the sum of diameters to a predetermined threshold. This method currently fills a regulatory and methodological gap in safely reusing structural timber.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11763,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Structures","volume":"322 ","pages":"Article 119218"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142554830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To assess the seismic performance of the PSFRC frame joint, experimental tests were conducted on one reinforced concrete (RC) joint and two PSFRC frame joints under cyclic loading. Hysteresis analysis and elastic-plastic time-history analysis were also performed using a finite element model. The experimental results showed that the PSFRC edge joint reached a peak load of 89.30 kN, while the PSFRC middle joint exhibited a capacity of 169.95 kN, which was 58.87 % higher than that of the cast-in-place specimen XJ (107.87 kN).

An alternative to achieve shallower floor depths is to utilize stay-in-place formwork, either precast concrete panels or steel deep decking, placed on the bottom flange with a cast-in-place concrete slab. For ease of construction, an asymmetric section is needed for vertical placement of the precast panels or deep decking. However, there are no hot-rolled asymmetric steel I-beams (termed A-shapes) readily available in the United States. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the composite flexural behavior of a shallow-depth floor system for future large-scale production of A-shapes. To achieve minimal floor depths and increase the efficiency of steel building construction, shear studs (generally used in conventional composite floor systems) are not utilized to transfer longitudinal interface forces. The top flange and web of the steel member are encased in concrete, which will allow partial composite flexural behavior due to the formation of concrete-steel bond. The research presented herein includes eight experimental beam tests to understand the flexural strength and stiffness developed through concrete-steel bond shear. The eight tests performed well and achieved 74 % to 83 % of the full composite flexural strength before the bond started to slip, although only minimally. Following the initial slip, the shallow-depth beams were unloaded and reloaded to evaluate the robustness and ductility of the composite cross-section. The beams proved to be highly ductile and robust as they reached 77 % to 91 % of the full composite strength upon reloading due to reengaging of the bond after the occurrence of initial slip. The composite flexural stiffness of the beams was well intact under the service loading, indicating that the transformed moment of inertia of the cross-section can be utilized for serviceability analysis. A bond shear strength of 0.69 MPa (100 psi) was established since it undercuts most of the experiments with a bond perimeter assumed to be above the elastic neutral axis of the composite section. The partial composite strength was further evaluated utilizing three numerical methods: (1) linear interpolation between steel yield and full composite, (2) partial plastic stress distribution, and (3) strain compatibility. All methods predicted reasonable results but the method of linear interpolation was the most conservative one in relation to the bending moment that causes the initiation of bond slip.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11763,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Structures","volume":"322 ","pages":"Article 119185"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142538587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low-sensitivity problems may be particularly exacerbated by the complex dynamic behavior of lightweight structures, such as lightweight bridges subjected to vehicular traffic. In particular, due to material (and, by extension, mass) reduction in lightweight bridges, vehicles essentially act as “traveling masses”, which are comparable to the structural mass and result in a coupled complex dynamic motion problem that may obscure typical damage indicators used in vibration testing. This paper presents a damage detection approach for lightweight bridges with traveling masses, leveraging the powerful feature-extraction capabilities of machine learning (ML). In particular, a convolutional neural network (CNN) is trained to classify acceleration response data, collected from vibration testing, into damage scenarios. The training data for the CNN are created via simulations of damage scenarios, using calibrated analytical models. The damage detection approach is validated in laboratory tests on a continuous beam, showcasing the capability of the CNN to classify damage scenarios of the beam.
