The reliable estimation of the seismic performance of structures requires quantifying the aleatory and epistemic uncertainties of the system parameters. This is efficiently achieved for a case study of a four-story steel moment-resisting frame through seve ...
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 ...
Cultural heritage buildings were typically built without considering seismic action and are therefore potentially susceptible to earthquake damage. The performance states and protection objectives developed for ordinary buildings are not directly applicabl ...
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 ...
Design recommendations for longitudinal reinforcement layouts of reinforced concrete (RC) walls have been derived from plane section analyses. Such an analysis generally favours wall layouts with boundary elements containing large amounts of vertical reinf ...
Recent earthquakes in Chile (2010, M 8.8) and New Zealand (2011, M 6.3) have shown that, despite many years of extensive research and subsequent design code advancements, several modern reinforced concrete walls underperformed or even failed during these s ...
Recent earthquakes around the world have demonstrated that steel moment-frame buildings designed based on older seismic provisions are seismically deficient. To enhance the seismic performance of these buildings, a new seismic retrofit system has been deve ...
This paper presents key parameters that affect numerical modeling of steel frame structures for reliable collapse simulations. The collapse assessment is based on experimental data obtained from a full-scale shaking table collapse test of a 4-story steel m ...
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 ...
