The desire to operate chemical processes in a safe and economically optimal way has motivated the development of so-called real-time optimization (RTO) methods [1]. For continuous processes, these methods aim to compute safe and optimal steady-state set ...
This work evaluates the performance of a number of seismic assessment procedures when applied to a case study reinforced concrete (RC) wall building. The performance of each procedure is evaluated through its ability to accurately predict deformation deman ...
In order to meet desired seismic performances, it is increasingly evident that engineers require reliable methods for the estimation of seismic demands on both structural and non-structural elements. To this end, current design codes incorporate simplified ...
The paper presents the results of the evaluation of the seismic safety of the Ancien Hôpital de Sion, an important Swiss architectural heritage building, sited in the Canton of Valais, the region with the highest seismic hazard in Switzerland. Three-dimens ...
Large efforts have been devoted in the past to understanding size effect in shear failures of members without transverse reinforcement. Experimental works have demonstrated that increasing the size reduces the nominal shear strength provided that the failu ...
In regions with low to moderate seismicity, unreinforced masonry (URM) is commonly used for the construction of low to mid-rise buildings. When these structures are subjected to seismic loading, the stiff URM walls attract considerable part of the lateral ...
Computational micromechanics and homogenization require the solution of the mechanical equilibrium of a periodic cell that comprises a (generally complex) microstructure. Techniques that apply the Fast Fourier Transform have attracted much attention as the ...
This paper presents a new methodology for the displacement-based seismic design of symmetric single-storey wood-frame buildings. Previous displacement-based design efforts were based on the direct displacement-based design approach, which uses a substitute ...
Damage spectra for reinforced concrete buildings in Greece are presented in this paper based on a series of time-history nonlinear dynamic analyses for single-degree-of-freedom systems (Clough hysteresis model) with different deformation ductility and yiel ...
Capacity design is an important tool that enables controlled ductile response of structures when subjected to earthquakes. The need for specific capacity design requirements for walls coupled by deep coupling beams, however, is often overlooked and it is a ...
