This paper proposes a computational approach for the collapse assessment of concentrically braced frames (CBFs) subjected to earthquakes. Empirical formulations for modeling the postbuckling behavior and fracture of three main steel brace shapes that are c ...
Code design of slab-column connections to resist seismically induced drifts is currently based on empirical relationships for both moment and deformation capacity. The results of tests on slab-column connections are however sensitive to the conception of t ...
Mid- to high-rise buildings in seismic areas are often braced by slender reinforced concrete (RC) walls, which are interconnected by RC floor diaphragms. In design it is typically assumed that the lateral forces are distributed in proportion to the wall’s ...
In the seismic design of structures, capacity design is typically employed to ensure that a desirable ductile response is obtained. In this paper three different capacity design approaches for reinforced concrete coupled walls are investigated. For a simpl ...
In several countries of moderated seismicity, with the re-evaluation of the seismic hazard most unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings with reinforced concrete slabs failed to satisfy the seismic design check. A possible seismically retrofit solution consist ...
Spandrel elements in unreinforced brick masonry buildings with timber floors consist of a masonry spandrel supported by either a timber lintel or a masonry arch. When subjected to seismic loading, the force-deformation relationship of such spandrel element ...
A joint U.S.-Japan reconnaissance team examined the damage to steel building structures caused by the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake. In the city of Sendai, where the peak horizontal ground acceleration exceeded 1 g, the majority of steel buildings performed w ...
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 ...
Filling materials may exist in all scales of rock fractures, not only influencing seismic wave attenuation, but controlling rock mass instability. The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the seismic response of rock fractures filled wi ...
Fling-step and forward directivity, which can impose unexpected seismic demands on structures, are the main consequences of near-fault earthquakes. Although the adverse effect of forward directivity on structures behavior is determined to some level, the i ...
