The resilience of modern structures under seismic and lateral forces is highly dependent on the performance of slab‐column connections. These joints are critical for transferring loads effectively ...

Pile foundations support vital structures in regions prone to seismic activity, yet their performance in liquefiable soils remains complex and critical for safe design. Seismic shaking can induce ...

The CFS-NEES Phase 2 building was ultimately framed with nonstructural elements including exterior OSB, interior drywall, stairways, interior partition walls, and exterior weatherproofing. When ...

When designing a building for lateral loads such as those generated by wind or earthquakes, engineers have several options. Lateral loads may be transferred to the foundation via braced frames or ...
