To evaluate a seismic response of bridge systems, it is important to adopt the most appropriate model for each component. In this study, the seismic response of a bridge [...]

Hybrid simulation provides a versatile, realistic and cost-effective method for simulating dynamic response experimentally. Although hybrid simulation is undergoing wides [...]

This paper describes the continuing evolution of the Open-source Framework for Experimental Setup and Control (OpenFresco), an object oriented, environment independent so [...]

The ability to model structural collapse is essential for improving our understanding of the performance of structures during very rare earthquake events. However, experi [...]

Engineers have become increasingly concerned about the potential effects of various forms of deterioration that may be experienced by moment-resisting frame structures du [...]

An objective in the design of seismically isolated structures is the selection of bearing properties so that optimal performance is achieved over a range of excitations a [...]

Seismic performance of RC rectangular columns was clarified in comparison with interlocking spiral columns based on a shake table experiment as a part of NEES and E-Defen [...]
