Many medium-rise and high-rise reinforced concrete buildings were damaged during the 2010 Maule Chile earthquake. For rectangular reinforced concrete walls that are witho [...]

Earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of energy from the movement between tectonic plates; besides geological faults and volcanism. As Peru is located in a high seis [...]

This paper proposes a new seismic response control system using a block and tackle (hereinafter, referred to as a movable pulley damper system) developed especially for h [...]

This paper aims to present a methodology to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of Reinforced Concrete (R/C) existing buildings, based on Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM). T [...]

A new shaking table called "BRI Large Stroke Shaking Table" was developed in 2006 in the Building Research Institute. The shaking table is driven by wire connected with d [...]

Long period components of earthquake ground motions may amplify the response of large scale structures with long natural periods such as high-rise buildings, long-span br [...]

The International Institute of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering (IISEE) at the Building Research Institute (BRI) was established in 1962 for the purpose of training [...]
