Global failure mechanism, i.e., the strong-column weak-beam mechanism, can provide higher total energy dissipation capacity with less ductility demand on components than other failure modes, and results in a more uniform story drift distribution and higher resistance to earthquake loads at the system level. However, the current code-based elastic design method cannot guarantee the global failure mechanism of frame structures under severe earthquakes. In this paper, a simple, but practical design procedure is proposed to ensure the global failure mechanism of reinforced concrete(RC) frame structures by redesigning the columns using the column tree method(CTM). CTM considers the yield limit state of all beams and column bases. The code-based design is firstly carried out to determine the section information of all beams and base columns. Then, the internal force demands applied on the column tree can be derived. Lastly, the column moments, shear forces and axial forces are determined according to the free-body diagram of CTM to finish the column redesign. Two RC frame structures with 6 and 12 stories are illustrated to verify the design procedure. The analytical results demonstrate the proposed approach can realize the global failure mechanism.

Recently, d36-type piezoelectric wafers derived from lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate (PMN-PT) single crystal materials have been proposed for elastic wave generation in thinwalled structures. In contrast to traditional d31 piezoelectric materials which generate symmetric and anti-symmetric Lamb waves, d36 introduces these same Lamb waves plus an inplane shear horizontal (SH) wave. Based on guided wave theory, the SH0 wave mode is nondispersive which may find many advantages uses in structural health monitoring. To detect and localize damage (e.g., cracks, corrosion) in thin walled structures, a phased array of d36- type piezoelectric wafers is proposed. To validate the proposed phase array, extensive experiments have been conducted using an aluminum plate with four d36 PMN-PT piezoelectric wafers surface bonded. The d36 phased array is shown capable of accurately detecting the location of local damage in the plate. Good detection accuracy is observed indicating that this proposed methodology has the potential to provide an effective identification of damage in metallic thin walled structures.
Due to its design versatility, availability and cost efficiency, concrete continues to play a dominant role in the construction industry. However, the production of Portland cement, a primary component of typical conc...

A new method to infill the opening in the RC precast fabricated concrete shear wall was applied in china. In this paper, three geometrically identical RC precast fabricated shear wall specimens were experimented under constant axial load and quasi-statie cyclic lateral loading. The methods to infill the opening of the wall were respectively integration infill, masonry infill and without infill. Hysteretic curves, skeleton curves, failure process, variation of rebar strain, stiffness, ductility and energy-dissipating capacity were obtained. The results showed that the integration shear wall owns good seismic performance. Its bearing capacity, stiffness, energy-dissipating capacity are excellent while ductility is relatively poor. Masonry infilled wall and wall without infill also own good seismic performance. Meanwhile, numerical simulation of three specimens was conducted by using finite element (FE) software OpenSees. Based on the reasonable modeling and the application of multi-layer shell element, the FE results were verified with the experimental results.
