High-damping spectral amplitudes and corresponding damping reduction factors (ƞ) are key parameters for seismic design and analysis of structures equipped with seismic p [...]

Reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall buildings are a very common type of construction worldwide. Nonlinear dynamic analyses of this type of structural systems are used mor [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Many dams worldwide have been in service over 50 years and are located in high seismicity areas. The initial seismic design of these critical structures was generally con [...]
