In this paper, a numerical model capable of representing the impact of damage on the overall response of jacketed polyester (PET) ropes is presented. This model considers rope behavior under axisymmetric loading conditions and can account for the degradation of rope properties, including the effect of broken rope components, on overall rope response. To consider the confinement effect of rope jacketing...
The first generation for the post-tensioned (PT) self-centering (SC) system, which incorporates the PT technology to beam-to-column connections, exhibits good seismic performance with small residual deformations except for the first floor. Instead of using the fixed column base, the column PT to the base affects the seismic performance of frames, especially for residual deformations. Recently, the...
