The output variable is the damage state of the connections under seismic loading after fire. Eight machine learning models were employed: Category Boosting, K-Nearest Neighbors, Artificial Neural Network, Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Adaptive Boosting, and Extreme Gradient Boosting. The results demonstrate that the Extreme Gradient Boosting model achieved the highest prediction accuracy (0.9) on the test set, followed by the Artificial Neural Network model (0.79). Among the models, the Decision Tree, Category Boosting, Artificial Neural Network, and Extreme Gradient Boosting models exhibited high recall and precision, with the Extreme Gradient Boosting model achieving the highest values for both metrics. By comparing the predicted probabilities across different models and damage states, the Extreme Gradient Boosting and Category Boosting models provided the best predictive performance, with mean absolute errors of 4.18 and 3.77, and mean squared errors of 27.83 and 23.75, respectively. An analysis of input variable importance using the Extreme Gradient Boosting model revealed that the beam stiffener length-to-thickness ratio was the most significant factor influencing post-fire seismic damage prediction, with an importance coefficient of 24.3 %. This was followed by the beam height-to-thickness ratio (19.9 %) and the beam width-to-thickness ratio (17.5 %). These findings highlight the effectiveness of the Extreme Gradient Boosting model in predicting seismic damage states and provide valuable insights into the key factors affecting the post-fire performance of extended end-plate high-strength steel beam-column connections.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11763,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Structures","volume":"333 ","pages":"Article 120190"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143685022","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}

NSCs are usually classified based on their sensitivity to floor responses of acceleration, velocity, or displacement. There have been heuristic approaches for estimating orthogonal seismic effects by combining the responses dependently obtained from seismic analysis in two principal directions. However, the approaches were examined for seismic demands of structural components while little attentions were devoted to seismic demands of NSCs. FEMA P-58 provides a specific rule to estimate the orthogonal seismic effects for NSC seismic demands. However, its accuracy in evaluating NSC losses remains unexamined. This paper explores the effectiveness of three popular combination rules in seismic loss estimations for acceleration- and velocity-sensitive NSCs. The probabilistic-based combination rules proposed by the authors before were used for a comparison purpose. Incremental dynamic analyses are performed on six special concentrically braced frame (SCBF) buildings with various heights and torsional irregularities under unidirectional and bidirectional record sets. Based on the peak floor acceleration and peak floor velocity values obtained using combination rules, the seismic losses of NSCs are estimated following the FEMA P-58 framework. The findings indicate that, using the original combination rules, the mapping between the accuracies of peak floor response (PFR) and loss estimation is highly nonlinear and the overestimated PFR values would enlarge the overestimation in NSCs’ losses by up to 30 %. The developed probabilistic-based combination rules provide a sound performance in NSC loss estimations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11763,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Structures","volume":"333 ","pages":"Article 120189"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143685024","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}

An MTCC consists of an outer FRP tube, a number of inner steel tubes, with the space inside all tubes filled with concrete. The new column has many advantages over existing column forms, including its ample ductility, excellent durability and cost effectiveness. A number of experimental studies have demonstrated the structural advantages of MTCCs and provided the first insight into their structural behaviour. However, the experimental studies do not allow the complex confinement mechanism on the concrete in MTCCs to be thoroughly examined, due to the difficulty in measuring the nonuniform distributions of axial stresses and confining pressures. Against this background, this paper presents an in-depth study on the behaviour and modelling of the concrete in MTCCs. This study started with the development of three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) models to simulate the compressive behaviour of circular MTCCs. The FE models were validated using the test results and then used to examine the confinement mechanism of circular MTCCs due to the complex interaction between the multiple tubes and concrete in MTCCs. Furthermore, mechanism-informed one-dimensional (1D) stress-strain models for the concrete in MTCCs were proposed for design use; the models were found to provide reasonably accurate predictions of the FE and test results.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11763,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Structures","volume":"333 ","pages":"Article 120055"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143685020","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}

Collapse tests were conducted under quasi-static uniformly distributed load (UDL) to get actual responses close to engineering practice.

However, long-term exposure to atmospheric environment can lead to corrosion of the steel bridge piers, which may lead to different performance and failure modes throughout life-cycle stages. This study aims to explore the time-varying seismic performance evolution of steel bridge piers in different atmospheric environments and propose a time-varying seismic evaluation method based on performance requirements. First, a numerical simulation method for aging steel bridge piers is developed by considering the time-varying model of corrosion characteristic parameters. The degradation patterns and failure modes of steel bridge piers with varying parameters throughout their entire life-cycle in industrial and marine atmospheric environments are then analyzed. The concept of time-varying degradation ratio and aging damage index is used to quantify the effects of time-varying factors on seismic performance. Finally, formulas for predicting critical displacement values based on performance requirements are established, and a time-varying seismic performance evaluation method and process are presented. The results show that the seismic performance degradation of aging steel bridge piers caused by different service environments can reach up to 23.7 %. In addition, in the early stages of service, seismic performance of aging steel piers may be significantly reduced, with the displacement ratio for safety performance points decreasing by up to 28.6 %. Corrosion leads to more pronounced plastic deformation and stress concentration in the failure mode of aging steel piers. The aging damage index is affected by the coupling of corrosion parameters and geometric parameters. As service time progresses, the value and variability of aging damage index of steel piers increase. The accuracy of the formula for predicting time-varying critical displacement values, considering performance requirements, is validated through supplementary models and previous test results. The results underscore the importance of considering aging effect and environmental factors in the seismic performance evaluation.
