Steel concentrically braced frames inherently provide great strength and stiffness, and are widely used for seismic resisting systems in buildings. These include conventional buckling braced frames and buckling restrained braced frames. Although the latter ...
Splicing of longitudinal reinforcement in the plastic hinge region of reinforced concrete (RC) members was common practice in buildings and bridges before the introduction of capacity design principles. Experimental and field observations showed that the p ...
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of single and multi-mode nonlinear static procedures (NSPs) as well as the FEMA P58 simplified approach versus rigorous nonlinear response history analyses (NRHA) for estimating seismic demands of steel special moment ...
Current simplified design methods for buildings with supplemental damping devices are mainly based on single-degreefreedom (SDF) shear-models. Common errors of such methods are attributed to the linearization of nonlinear damping and stiffness, higher buil ...
Nonlinear dynamic (response history) analysis is being used increasingly in design practice for the performance-based seismic design of buildings. In contrast to nonlinear static analysis, dynamic analyses require more explicit modeling of cyclic response ...
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 ...
The response of concrete gravity dams under seismic loads is a major concern of dam safety assessment in earthquake-prone areas. This study focuses on the seismic analysis of the tallest non-overflow monolith of Pine Flat Dam. The paper presents results of ...
The Los Angeles Soft-Story Ordinance was enacted with the goal of reducing the collapse risk of woodframe buildings with soft, weak and open-front (SWOF) wall lines. Four alternative retrofit methods are permitted under the Ordinance including a SWOF-wall- ...
This paper describes a research program involving wood-sheathed and cold-formed steel (CFS) framed diaphragm assemblies.The diaphragm’s response to in-plane monotonic and reversed cyclic lateral loading is investigated in an effort to characterize the seis ...
Baudynamik und Erdbebeningenieurwesen sind im Lehrplan des Bauingenieurwesens an der EPFL gut verankert. Baudynamik ist eine von nur fünf Pflichtveranstaltungen im Masterstudiengang und der Vorlesung muss daher von allen Studenten besucht und bestanden wer ...
