A research program has been undertaken to better characterizing the contribution of higher modes of vibration on the bending moment and shear force demand on cantilevered [...]

An innovative braced steel frame system designed to rock at its base under strong seismic motion is proposed. The system includes viscous dampers that are vertically moun [...]

This paper focuses on the earthquake response of merchandise stored in steel storage racks and introduces the concept of inclined shelving as a measure for reduction of t [...]

A direct comparison is made between shake table and real time hybrid simulation testing techniques for a two-storey steel building structure model. Only the first-storey [...]
