A joint U.S.-Japan reconnaissance team examined the damage to steel building structures caused by the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake. In the city of Sendai, where the peak horizontal ground acceleration exceeded 1 g, the majority of steel buildings performed w ...
Abstract Performance-based earthquake engineering necessitates the development of reliable nonlinear analysis models that are able to simulate the behavior of structures from the onset of damage through collapse. These models provide engineering demand par ...
Reinforced concrete (RC) walls are frequently used as lateral stiffness and strength-providing members in RC buildings. If well detailed and designed according to capacity design rules, RC walls can lead to a very robust behavior and stable cyclic response ...
This paper aims to provide an insight into the urban governance of four medium-sized Haitian cities hit by the earthquake of 2010, bearing in mind two affirmations of J. Pierre on urban governance; namely, that it is the better analytical model for the con ...
Displacement-based seismic design and assessment procedures require as key input parameter estimates of displacement capacities of the critical elements. The displacement capacities of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are typically determined by means of q ...
The safety of buildings which have been affected by a natural disaster such as an earthquake is currently evaluated manually by certified inspectors who identify visible damage on the structural elements. This process has been proven to be time-consuming, ...
In recent years, there is an increasing need to quantify earthquake-induced losses throughout the expected life of a building in order to evaluate alternative design options such that we can minimize repairs in the aftermath of an earthquake. This paper di ...
During the last decade, a number of hysteretic models have been developed to simulate complex deteriorating mechanisms observed in steel components such that earthquake-induced collapse risk can be reliably assessed. Such models are typically calibrated wi ...
A series of seismic tests were conducted on a 1½-bay by 1½-story special steel moment-resisting frame subassembly from the onset of damage through incipient collapse. These tests were conducted using hybrid simulation with substructuring as a mean to demon ...
