Simulated earthquake ground motions can be used in many engineering applications that require time-series as input excitations. However, they need to be validated before [...]

Steel moment frames in seismically active regions are designed as strong-base weak-column systems, such that yielding is concentrated in the lower region of the column me [...]

This paper presents a mathematical formulation that directly estimates the engineering demand parameters (EDPs) of moment-resisting frames based on structural characteris [...]

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 [...]

Findings from both analytical and experimental research projects as well as observations of damage occurred by previous earthquakes indicate that the loading history has [...]

Characterization of energy damping sources in structures has been an active area of research for many years. Despite all the improvements in modeling and analysis techniq [...]
