Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The safety of engineering structures against natural hazards (e.g., earthquakes, winds, fires, and tsunamis) is a subject of great interest to researchers and is important for protecting human life and reducing economic losses. In the last few decades, with advancing knowledge and technological development on understanding and interpreting the mechanisms of natural hazards, new components, connections, devices, and structural systems have been proposed for mitigating the damages of engineering structures. New testing and computation methods are being developed to analyze and design them.

This Special Issue is dedicated but not limited to current research on experimental, theoretical, computational, and relevant research works on advanced methods in disaster mitigation of engineering structures, including the following: analyzing and simulating natural hazards; damage assessment of engineering structures under natural hazards; modeling and applications of new construction materials for structural engineering; design methodologies of newly developed structural components and systems; advanced testing and modeling technologies; maintenance, repair and retrofit of existing structures; vulnerability, risk and reliability assessment of engineering structures under earthquakes, winds, fires, and tsunami; and advanced methods for the evaluation and design of resistance and resilience of structural systems.

To fully harness the design development potential of plastic angle sections, this study employs a theoretical analysis approach to examine the plastic behavior of equal angle sections subjected to axial force and biaxial bending. Based on the simplified angle section results, the full plasticity correlation equations were derived. Subsequently, section shape coefficients were computed. Finally, a methodology for calculating the plastic development coefficients of angle sections was explored. The findings indicate that the full plasticity correlation equations lack the necessary safety margins in designs. Notably, the angle sections possess a greater plastic development capacity along the weak axis compared with the strong axis. It is advisable, for both regular-size and large-size angle sections, to consistently adopt the plastic development coefficients in designs as follows: γu = 1.05 for the strong axis and γv = 1.15 for the weak axis, thereby addressing the shortcomings of the specification in design.

This paper introduces a trapezoidal orthogonal stiffener steel plate shear wall (TSW). The finite element model of the TSW was developed following the validation of low-cycle repeated tests conducted on a single-span double-layer steel plate shear wall. The paper studies the effects of the flat steel plate thickness, stiffener thickness, stiffener height, and stiffener bottom width on the seismic performance of TSW. Building upon these findings, a theoretical formula for the ultimate shear capacity of TSW was developed. The results prove the following: (1) By changing the flat steel plate thickness, the stiffener thickness, and the stiffener height, the seismic behavior of TSW can be enhanced. It is suggested that the flat steel plate thickness is 4~6 mm, the stiffener thickness is 4~6 mm, and the stiffener height is not more than 60 mm, while the effect of the stiffener bottom width on the seismic behavior of TSW can be neglected. (2) The maximum error is 22.16%, compared to the theoretical value of TSW ultimate shear capacity with the finite element simulation value. However, as the finite element results surpass the test results, it indicates that the formula-derived results are unsafe, necessitating a recommendation for correction. Full article
