In a seismic incident, the structural steel columns are commonly damaged with local buckling formulation at either the top or bottom ends. This study analyzes and simulates the hysteretic behavior of a hollow square steel column under cyclic loading by adopting the fiber-element approach. This method discretizes the hinge zone into a series of fibers and considers buckling behavior of those fibers along the column wall. The analytical result was achieved in good agreement with the component test.

A new repair technique consisting on a light jacketing with Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites (FRCC) for existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings has been recently proposed to reduce durability problems of RC members and enhance their capacity. In this work, the effects of FRCC jacketing on the flexural capacity of existing RC columns, with and without a pre-damage, has been evaluated of full-scale specimens under cyclic loading. Digital Imagine Correlation (DIC) was also adopted for understanding the strain distribution in the FRCC jacket. The results shown that the FRCC jacket without a proper anchorage slightly enhanced the flexural capacity of the column. The strengthened column experienced a low damage with respect to control column, but occurrence of premature failures did not allow the achievement of high levels of deformation capacity and ductility.

Shear panel dampers consisting of stiffeners and panels surrounded by four flanges are used as aseismic hysteretic dampers for buildings in Japan. Cracks can form easily in a shear panel damper when shear buckling occurs during the cyclic loading caused by a severe earthquake.For a relatively thin panel with a large width-to-thickness ratio, the damper’s plastic deformation capacity and the presence of shear buckling can be evaluated from the maximum deformation angle. However, when it is relatively small, very-low-cycle fatigue life for a relatively thick panel must be known to predict the usage limit of the damper, because the failure pattern changes when cracks form in the weld between the panels and flanges. Fatigue life relations for a thick shear panel damper with parameters of normalized width-to-thickness ratio and deformation angle are presented. A method for predicting the fatigue life under severe earthquake conditions is also presented. To validate the prediction expression, cyclic loading tests were performed on a shear panel damper and reviewed. The applicability of the method for predicting the fatigue life was confirmed through non-stationary cyclic loading tests. These results showed the validity and effectiveness of the expressions and the method.

Considering the future development for offshore pipelines, moving towards difficult operating condition and deep/ultra-deep water applications, there is the need to understand the failure mechanisms and better quantify the strength and deformation capacity of corroded pipelines considering the relevant failure modes (collapse, local buckling under internal and external pressure, fracture / plastic collapse etc.). A Joint Industry Project sponsored by ENI E&P and Statoil has been launched with the objective to quantify and assess the strength and deformation capacity of corroded pipes in presence of internal overpressure and axial/bending loading. In this paper: • The State-of-the-Art on strength and deformation capacity of corroded pipes is presented; • The full-scale laboratory tests on corroded pipes under bending moment dominated load conditions, performed at C-FER facilities, are shown together with the calibrated ABAQUS FE Model; • The results of the ABAQUS FEM parametric study are presented.

BIPV is now widely used in office and residential buildings, but its seismic performance still remained vague especially when the photovoltaic (PV) modules are installed on high-rise building facades. A new form of reinforced concrete shear wall integrated with photovoltaic module is proposed in this paper, aiming to apply PV module to the facades of high-rise buildings. In this new form, the PV module is integrated with the reinforced concrete wall by U-shaped steel connectors through embedded steel plates. The lateral cyclic loading test is executed to investigate the seismic behavior and the electric and thermal performance with different drift angles. The seismic behavior, including failure pattern, lateral force-top displacement relationship, and deformation capacity, was investigated. The power generation and temperature variation on the back of the PV module and both sides of the shear wall were also tested. Two main results are demonstrated through the experiment: (1) the U-shaped steel connectors provide enough deformation capacity for the compatibility of the PV module to the shear wall during the whole cyclic test; (2) the electricity generation capacity is effective and stable during this seismic simulation test.
