The existence of a horizontal large velocity pulse that contains a substantial proportion of the seismic energy, often referred to as a ‘fling’, tends to increase sei [...]

NEES Integrated Seismic Risk Assessment Framework (NISRAF) integrates several components in order to obtain the most reliable earthquake impact assessment results: hybrid [...]

Conventional modeling and computational simulation in mechanics and structures are based on mathematical or empirical equations that have been developed to represent the [...]

Various damage to structures due to the torsional response in past earthquakes highlights the importance to understand the coupled lateral-torsional response of irregular [...]

Early work on predicting the moment-rotation response of semi-rigid connections was conducted through simplified linearized and curve fitting models compared to experimen [...]

Due to its higher tensile strength, toughness, weldability, and corrosion resistance compared to mild steel grades, High Strength Steel (HSS) has been increasingly used i [...]

In this study multi-objective optimization of structural frames is investigated. Two different materials, reinforced concrete and reinforced engineered cementitious compo [...]

Experimental testing and analytical simulations have provided great opportunities in assessing the safety of structures in seismic regions. Experimental testing is a func [...]

Seismic evaluation of the existing building stock has become a recognized priority after damage and collapse of many reinforced concrete structures during recent earthqua [...]

Hybrid simulation is an effective method for the assessment of the seismic response of structures, combining laboratory testing, computational analysis, and numerical tim [...]
