The fifteen-story Alto Rio building built in 2006 in the city of Concepción, Chile, was the only modern building that collapsed catastrophically during the February 27, [...]

Firstly, the spatial distribution graphic of two-dimensional membership function for 4 types of standard site was presented. It can be used in fuzzying the site classific [...]

Firstly, the fuzzy characteristics of site classifications were analyzed, the spatial distribution of two-dimensional membership function for 4 types of site was presente [...]

In this paper, firstly, a procedure of analysis of inelastic response spectra based on Park and Ang damage model, called RD spectra, is proposed. Secondly, considering ul [...]

This paper mainly studies seismic failure mode analysis and seismic failure mode controlling of steel tall buildings. Firstly, the structural nonlinear calculation model [...]

Seismic damage assessment of structures was highly emphasized in earthquake engineering. More extensive attentions were being placed to the influence of near-field ground [...]

Structural control is emerging technology for hazard mitigation in civil engineering and has been comprehensively studied over the world. This paper introduces the resear [...]

Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) are widely used seismic response-controlling members with excellent energy dissipation capacity without buckling at design deformation. [...]

Aiming at the low horizontal lateral stiffness and restoring force, taking advantage of hyperelastic property of shape memory alloys (SMA for short), a new type of SMA wi [...]

The pulse effect of near-fault ground motions and its effect on engineering structures with fundamental period were investigated in this study. The pulse character of man [...]
