Design Provisions for Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Infilled Steel Moment Frames (2009)

Abstract In this dissertation, the seismic behavior and design of AAC-infilled steel moment frames are investigated systematically. The fundamental vehicle for this investigation is the ATC-63 methodology, which is intended for the establishment of seismic design factors for structural systems. … Continue reading

Development of R and Cd Factors for the Seismic Design of AAC Structures (2003)

Abstract The seismic force-reduction factor (R) specified in seismic design codes is intended to account for energy dissipation through inelastic deformation (ductility) and for structural over-strength. The factor (R) is based on observation of the performance of different structural systems … Continue reading
