This study presents the development and application of a custom script utilizing the visual programming language BHoM (Building Habitat Object Models) to automate the modeling and structural analysis process in the finite element method for steel frame buildings. The script was evaluated through testing on a prototype structure featuring mixed roofs and a steel framework. Structural analysis was conducted using conventional methods in the second phase, allowing for a comparative assessment. Results indicate a significant optimization in terms of time and cost, particularly in the quantity and

In this paper, a castellated beam-to-column end-plate (CBE) joint was proposed to address the problem of brittle fracture of welds caused by high stresses in solid web beam-to-column end-plate connections and the development of plastic deformations in frame beams. Cyclic loading tests of 12 CBE joints were conducted to investigate the effects of floor, end-plate and opening parameters on the failure mode and hysteresis performance of the joints. The development of plasticity and the dual hinge failure mechanism of CBE joints were clarified. It is shown that the dual hinge failure mechanism

In order to improve the seismic resilience of the braced frame structure, a novel self-centering cable brace has been proposed to effectively prevent compression buckling. It features a self-centering friction damper whose working principle has been analyzed both theoretically and experimentally, displaying a flag-shaped force-displacement curve with stable energy dissipation and self-centering capabilities. Based on this, three-story scale model steel frames with self-centering cable braces was designed, including models with prestressed dampers and without prestress, alongside a conventio

To address the issue of large rebar dimensions that cannot be covered by a single camera field of view in processing and inspection, a method for measuring the geometric shape (length and angle) of rebar using computer vision technology was proposeed. A partitioned camera measurement system was proposed. The partitioned cameras were utilized to simultaneously capture images and stitch together a panoramic view based on binary encoded ArUco markers. For real-time computing requirements, a lightweight semantic segmentation network, named as ghost-Unet, was proposed to balance the efficiency a

The size effect of the shear capacity of concrete short beams can be effectively weaken by the reasonable arrangement of shear web reinforcement. Shear tests were conducted on eight BFRP-reinforced concrete short beams with cross-sectional heights of 300mm to 1200mm (including four short beams without web reinforcement and four short beams with horizontal and vertical web reinforcement ratios of 0.5%). The development trends of the failure mode, load-deflection curve, and web reinforcement strain with changes in beam section height were analyzed, and the size effect of shear capacity of BFR
