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 ...
The paper discusses different modelling assumptions for spandrels in equivalent frame models and their effect on the global response of the wall. The topic is motivated by the following issues: i) reliable and practice oriented numerical tools constitute a ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
In Switzerland many new residential buildings are designed as mixed structures with unreinforced masonry (URM) walls and reinforced concrete (RC) walls while existing URM structures are often retrofitted by replacing selected URM walls by RC walls. The lat ...
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 ...
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 ...
