Valuable objects, or contents, are often hosted in multi-storey buildings. Such a valuable inventory may be damaged during an earthquake causing unacceptable losses (e.g. [...]

Nonlinear response history analysis (NRHA) is the most realistic seismic performance assessment method. NRHA requires the selection of acceleration time-histories, which [...]

The paper examines different approaches for modeling the seismic response of blocks that are either rigid or flexible. Simple models that are based on beam-column element [...]

Rocking motion implies that a structure under seismic loading exhibits rigid body rotation around pre-defined pivot points. Its stability primarily relies on utilizing th [...]

COMPDYN 2017 is one of the Thematic Conferences of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS) and a Special Interest Conference of the [...]

An earthquake with a moment magnitude reported as 6.0 from INGV (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia); occurred at 03:36 AM (local time) on 24 August 2016 in t [...]

Piping systems are a key component of industrial structures. Most research on structures of industrial facilities is targeted to individual structures such as atmospheric [...]

We present a methodology for the evaluation of the effect of scaling when Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) is performed. The median capacity curve of IDA is compared to [...]

A methodology for the performance-based seismic risk assessment of classical columns is presented. Classical columns are articulated structures, made of several discrete [...]

COMPDYN 2013, one of the thematic Conferences of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS), is a Special Interest Conference of the In [...]
