The trained DeepONet’s recursive performance was evaluated and compared with that of LSTM, showing superior prediction accuracy and computation efficiency. The proposed method was further validated on a 20-story benchmark structure.

In the study, short-term compressive tests were conducted on CLT material specimens to obtain their compressive strength. Then, long-term creep tests were conducted on 10 subgroups of CLT blocks to obtain their creep behavior under axial compression. Ambient temperature and relative humidity, as well as moisture content, environmental strain and the creep strain within the CLT specimens were monitored continuously over 330 days. The variations of both the relative humidity and the moisture content were analyzed, and the parameters related to the moisture content of CLT were calculated. For the CLT subjected to in-plane and out-of-plane compression, both the coefficient of environmental deformation and the creep coefficient were calculated. The effects of the stress levels, the section geometry, and the number of CLT layers on the CLT creep behavior were analyzed. The common creep models of timber were calibrated by using the normal and the weighted nonlinear regression methods, and the creep coefficients of CLT over the 50-year service life were estimated by using the calibrated models. It is found the transverse environmental strain of CLT along its out-of-plane direction is significantly higher than the in-plane environmental strain of CLT along its major strength direction. When subjected to a sustained constant stress, the CLT with a less section geometry is prone to larger creep deformation. Besides, compared to the 3-layer CLT, the 5-layer CLT is more prone to the mechano-sorptive creep along its in-plane major strength direction. For the 5-layer 100-mm-thickness CLT floors, their creep coefficient over 50 years ranges from 6.00 to 7.70. By contrast, for the 3-layer 105-mm-thickness CLT wall panels and 5-layer 175-mm-thickness CLT wall panels, their creep coefficients over 50 years are suggested as 1.19 and 1.42, respectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11763,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Structures","volume":"338 ","pages":"Article 120644"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144138490","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}

The research investigated an innovative longitudinal hybrid reinforcement system consisting of longitudinal steel bars with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in RC columns.

The experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in seismic bearing capacity, ductility, energy dissipation, and residual deformation in FRC columns with hybrid longitudinal reinforcement compared to reinforced normal-weight concrete (NWC) columns. The benefits of employing tensile strain hardening FRC columns include enhanced cyclic response and increased damage tolerance, potentially reducing post-earthquake repair costs.

The existing researches on wind-induced fatigue analysis of transmission towers ignore the influence of typhoon. Therefore, this paper proposed a typhoon fragility analysis method of transmission tower-line systems considering wind-induced fatigue caused by typhoon and monsoon, and illustrated the application process through analyzing the fragility of a transmission tower-line system in Shanghai. Firstly, the historical wind speed and wind direction data in Shanghai were collected and categorized, and the joint probability distribution models of wind speed and direction for typhoon and monsoon were established, respectively. Then, the wind-induced fatigue analysis of the tower-line system was conducted to calculate fatigue damage caused by combined typhoon and monsoon loads of members. Subsequently, based on the material degradation model, the finite element models with fatigue damage in different service times were developed. Finally, the fragility analysis of the tower-line system subjected to typhoon was performed, and the influence of wind-induced fatigue damage on typhoon fragility of transmission lines was studied.

This method integrates a spatially correlated latent intensity measure field inferred from ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs), explicitly capturing both the spatial correlation and inherent uncertainty of GMPEs using Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling. By simultaneously modeling all damage states within a unified framework, while assigning distinct fragility parameters to each state, this approach leverages damage observations from all states to infer the latent IM field. This joint inference captures both the variability in the experienced IM at each building and the uncertainty in how that IM translates into observed damage responses. This research marks the first effort to specifically quantify the seismic fragility of non-structural damage in Icelandic buildings. Non-structural elements, which represent a significant proportion of total construction costs, contribute extensively to losses in global seismic events, often occurring even at low levels of ground shaking. The results underscore that non-structural components like interior fixtures and flooring are particularly vulnerable, more so than structural elements.

Their performance was analyzed through pendulum impact tests, quasi-static compression tests, and drop-weight impact tests, accompanied by finite element simulations of both quasi-static compression and drop-weight impact processes. Experimental and simulation results indicate that the FHS structure exhibits significantly higher yield strength than the HS structure. Moreover, for different height-to-width ratios, the energy absorption (EA) and specific energy absorption (SEA) of the FHS structures are consistently greater than those of the HS structures. In addition, the FHS structures demonstrate more stable failure modes during impact loading, and their energy absorption performance can be further enhanced by adjusting the height-to-width ratio.
