Boundary condition effect on response modification factor of X-braced steel frames
Abstract Design of the structures to resist seismic force depends on the theory of dissipation in elastic energy that already exists in response modification factor “R-factor”. The main problem in codes gives a constant value for R-factor, since...

Effect of dowel bar position deviation on joint load-transfer ability of cement concrete pavement
Abstract A double-layer structure model of pavements that considered interlayer contact status was established to manage the dowel-bar position deviation problem in rigid pavements. The deviation effect of three-dimensional positions, such as...
