In a structural scheme design, the cross-sectional design of the shear wall components is critical. However, the current manual method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and a statistical regression–based design is insufficiently accurate. Satisfying the requirements of a complex shear wall design in the real world is difficult for both methods. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) can extract implicit design laws by learning from design data and conduct end-to-end design effectively and rapidly. Although GANs have been adopted for intelligent structural design, some design rules established by competent engineers are difficult to capture. Hence, this study developed and subsequently adopted a rule-embedded GAN called StructGAN-Rule to address the demand for a rapid and accurate cross-sectional design of shear wall components. Specifically, a representation method that integrates design images and multiple design conditions was first established, which was followed by the construction of the training data set. Subsequently, based on the design rules, a differentiable tensor operator was built as a rule evaluator, which was embedded in the GAN to guide and constrain the training process. Finally, following the training of StructGAN-Rule, intelligent generative cross-sectional design based on the developed postprocessing method was effectively completed. Case studies on typical shear wall structures demonstrated that the StructGAN-Rule design satisfied the rule constraints well and was highly consistent with the design of engineers (approximately 1% difference). Moreover, the design efficiency was improved 6–10 times compared with that of the latter.","PeriodicalId":17068,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Engineering-asce","volume":"98 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134957393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, lack of simple and intuitive design models for hybrid elements in design guidelines refrain designers from using UHPC overlays for structural applications. Thereby, a simplified sectional analysis model for NSC-UHPC hybrid elements was developed based on the philosophy of the Canadian Bridge Design Code CSA-S6. By using a new average stress distribution for NSC in hybrid elements that considers the strain at the extreme compressed fiber, equilibrium of forces can be solved by a second-degree equation with direct computation. The simplified model provides the complete moment–curvature behavior of hybrid elements for design purposes, thus allowing verifications in service and ultimate state conditions. An empiric equation is also proposed to evaluate the maximum bending capacity of hybrid elements for predesign. It only uses an approximation of a lever arm between forces in the hybrid cross section and thus offers a quick and easy way to evaluate the bending capacity. Both tools were validated on a detailed and iterative sectional analysis program and with results of four international experimental campaigns. The simplified sectional analysis model and empirical equation showed very good accuracy at reproducing the behavior of a wide range of NSC-UHPC hybrid elements configurations.","PeriodicalId":17068,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Engineering-asce","volume":"107 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134957392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the traditional method, aeroelastic instability and buffeting are analyzed separately. If geometric and aerodynamic nonlinearity are required, aeroelastic instability is normally calculated based on finite-element methods, and buffeting is carried out based on linearization of structural and aerodynamic nonlinearity. Then, the standard frequency-domain methods are utilized on the eigenvalue decomposition. However, for ultralong-span bridges, aerostatic deformation, aeroelasticity, and buffeting are strongly coupled. During buffeting, the bridge deck pitching will change both structural stiffness and aerodynamic loads; therefore, the nonlinearity should be included in the long-span bridge buffeting analysis. This paper establishes a reduced-order modeling procedure to simulate the wind-induced buffeting vibration for long-span bridges including the nonlinear aeroelasticity and buffeting force. First, the mode-based vibration formulas are derived to consider both structural and aerodynamic nonlinearity through polynomial expansion. Next, the numerically simulated turbulence is imported into the vibration governing equation, and the structural response can be calculated using the time-domain integration method.","PeriodicalId":17068,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Engineering-asce","volume":"117 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134957795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the walls was subjected to a cyclic wind loading protocol and the other walls were cycled with a seismic loading protocol. Their dimensions were identical, but different axial loads (up to 30% of the crushing load of the infill concrete, Acfc′) were applied. The plastic hinge development was investigated along with the composite behavior and compared with the calculated plastic moment of the corresponding cross section. These tests along with the results on C-shaped wall tests were conducted to establish the development of design guidelines for high-rise core-wall steel buildings having C-PSW/CF as the primary lateral force resisting system.","PeriodicalId":17068,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Engineering-asce","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135618140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reduced-order model was established following the modal pushover analysis procedure. The inelastic building response was represented by fundamental modes in principal directions. The hysteretic relationships of generalized restoring forces and displacements were determined by static modal pushover analysis using nonlinear finite element model with distributed plasticity. These relations were then represented by a biaxial hysteresis model, which leads to state-space equations of the building motion with a reduced-order building model that can be solved by response history analysis or by statistical linearization approach. A comprehensive analysis of response statistics of a 60-story building, including time-varying mean, standard deviation, kurtosis, and peak factors at different wind speeds was carried out using the reduced-order building model and computationally more demanding finite element model. The results demonstrate the accuracy of the reduced-order building model. The statistical linearization approach based on Gaussian response assumption can also offer quite accurate estimations, although it can be further improved by considering the non-Gaussian probability distribution of response caused by yielding. The interaction of inelastic alongwind and crosswind responses was addressed. The challenges faced in the estimation of time-varying mean component of inelastic response were also highlighted.","PeriodicalId":17068,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Engineering-asce","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136367733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inertia effect caused by the vertical vibration of superstructures above columns can be implemented by the setup. A total of six RC columns were tested under different axial compression ratios and impact velocities. The impact force, pendulum velocity, displacement, axial force, and acceleration of the specimens were measured, and the damage evolution during the test was recorded by high-speed cameras. The test results indicate that when the axial compression ratio increases from 0 to 0.64 and the impact velocity increases from 2.58 to 4.58 m/s, the failure mode of the column changes from flexural failure to shear failure. The impact force time-history curves of the shear failure controlled columns are different from those of the flexural failure controlled columns. The vertical mass of the superstructure above the RC column improves the horizontal and vertical inertia effect of the column. Besides, a two-degrees of freedom (2DOF) model was modified to predict the impact responses of the specimens. Two axial force conditions, including measured dynamic axial force and constant axial force (without considering the axial inertia effect and axial force variation), were compared using the modified model. Afterward, the modified model was compared with the conventional 2DOF model using the test results of 12 RC columns. Further, a parametric study of the axial compression ratio and the impact velocity was performed using the modified model, showing that they present significant influences on the impact performance of RC columns.","PeriodicalId":17068,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Engineering-asce","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136052655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
