Nonlinear static procedures, which relate the seismic demand of a structure to that of an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) oscillator, are well-established tool [...]

Recent research has shown that structures may experience quite different response when the components of any given ground motion record are rotated in the horizontal plan [...]

To assess the seismic performance of a structural system within an analytical context, we need, among others, to specify a ground motion Intensity Measure (IM). The wary [...]

Buried steel pipelines transporting oil and oil products play a vital role in the energy supply chain. Pipelines extend to long distances and thus intercepting tectonic f [...]

The finite element method (FEM) is often employed to create detailed models for the seismic assessment and design of liquid storage tanks. This comprehensive approach off [...]

Wind Turbines constitute a sustainable and effective solution for the production of energy using wind power. Offshore wind turbines especially are becoming of special int [...]

The application of linear design procedures for seismic loading is based on the approximation of the nonlinear dynamic response of the structure via a linear structural m [...]

A case study example is presented to support a methodology that evaluates the design behaviour-factor on a risk-basis, using the code-compatible performance targets for l [...]

Since their release in 2012, the FEMA P-58 guidelines for seismic performance assessment of buildings have been regarded as the state-of-the-art paradigm for buildingspec [...]

In this paper a robust method for simplified prediction of peak floor acceleration (PFA) demands in inelastic structural walls is established. In structural walls the pla [...]
