The effectiveness of simplified nonlinear models for seismic assessment of steel moment frames using single and multi-mode nonlinear static methods compared to nonlinear [...]

This paper discusses the effect of modeling uncertainties on the collapse potential of steel moment-resisting frames using simple mathematical models denoted as “generi [...]

Although building seismic codes and standards of practice assume that the probability of collapse is low in very rare earthquake shaking, the likelihood of collapse in su [...]

This paper presents a summary of the state of knowledge in structural component and system modeling for predicting the collapse potential of buildings structural systems. [...]

This paper summarizes the state of knowledge in structural system modeling and tool development for predicting the collapse potential of buildings whose lateral load resi [...]

In support of collapse assessment of structural systems under earthquake excitations, two earthquake-simulator collapse test series of two scale models of a two-bay steel [...]

During a large earthquake, traditional seismic lateral resisting systems can experience significant damage distributed throughout the structural system, and residual drif [...]
