Self-Centering Beams for Resilient Earthquake Resistance
A self-contained self-centering beam (SCB) has been developed that provides self-centering seismic behavior with enhanced constructability (Darling 2012). The SCB consists of a beam with concentric tubes connected to the bottom flange. The tubes at the bottom flange are precompressed … Continue reading
NSF Project Funded to Study Self-Centering Moment Frames
A research project was funded by the National Science Foundation to develop new self-centering moment frames. Stay tuned for more information as our research group makes progress on this exciting project! http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=1200237 Abstract: An innovative new self-centering truss moment resisting … Continue reading
Eatherton Receives AISC Milek Faculty Fellowship
Matthew Eatherton was slected to receive the AISC Milek Faculty Fellowship for the years 2012 – 2015. This fellowship is intended to provide support to Dr. Eatherton’s career as a teacher of steel design and as an innovator in steel … Continue reading
Effect of Fasteners and Defects in the Protected Zone on the Performance of Moment Frames
This research is investigating the effect of fasteners and defects applied in the protected zone on the ductility, low cycle fatigue performance, and inelastic rotation capacity of steel beam-to-column moment frame connections. Special moment resisting frames (SMRF) depend on large … Continue reading
