Shortcomings exist with respect to accounting for the influence of non-structural components, e.g. gypsum panels installed on the ceilings (floors and roof diaphragms) and walls, on the response of cold-formed steel (CFS) framed structures subjected to sei ...
With the advent of material science, high-performance steel materials have been developed for seismic applications that potentially reduce the earthquake-induced collapse risk of steel frame buildings. The High Yield Point (HYP400) steel is one of those ma ...
Earthquake-induced collapse risk assessment of steel frame buildings requires the use of simulation models that can realistically replicate dynamic instability of frame buildings. Such models for steel columns should consider the coupling between the axial ...
Nonlinear static and dynamic analysis is utilized by engineers to evaluate the seismic behavior of new and existing structures in the context of performance-based earthquake engineering. Numerous experiments on steel moment-resisting frames and their compo ...
Existing steel frame buildings in Switzerland that have been designed from the early 1970s typically utilized a steel lateral load resisting system with practically no seis- mic design requirements. However, Switzerland is a moderate seismicity zone and th ...
One of the main research areas of the Applied Computing and Mechanics laboratory (IMAC) at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is the seismic risk assessment of the existing building stock at an urban scale. Such analysis enables to forecas ...
This paper proposes a nonmodel-based framework for estimating story-based engineering demand parameters (EDPs) in instrumented steel frame buildings with steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs). The proposed framework utilizes a wavelet-based damage-sensitive ...
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 ...
Earthquakes do not kill people, buildings do. Transforming existing cities in earthquake resilient systems should be the main goal for researchers in the field of the seismic analysis of entire towns. Providing means for realistic disaster risk scenario ca ...
Rapid structural damage assessment methodologies are essential to properly allocate emergency response and minimize business interruption due to downtime in the aftermath of earthquakes. Within this context, data-driven algorithms supported by sensing capa ...
