The influence of gravity column continuity on the seismic performance of special steel moment frame structures
(ELSEVIER LTD, 2016-03-01)
This paper investigates the influence of the stiffness and strength of gravity columns on the collapse performance of buildings that utilize steel special moment frames as the main seismic lateral load resisting system. ...
Analytical Investigation of the Structural Fuse Concept
(2006-06-28)
Passive energy devices (PED) are useful to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. Metallic dampers are one such PED. When they are designed such that all damage is concentrated ...
Seismic performance of special steel moment frames including the gravity system
(2015)
Current practice in the U.S. neglects the gravity framing system as part of the lateral resisting system when designing for seismic effects. Yet, past earthquakes such as the 1994 Northridge earthquake have demonstrated ...
Modal pushover analysis for seismic vulnerability analysis
(Universität für Bodenkultur, Institut für Konstruktiver Ingenieurbau, 2014)
A simple introduction of inelastic structural analysis for seismic vulnerability by considering the definition of pushover analysis and using a simple elasto-plastic material model to compare analytical and numerical ...
Seismic probabilistic safety assessment and risk control of nuclear power plants in Northwest Europe
(2016)
Nuclear power plays a crucial role in energy supply in the world: around 15% of the electricity generated worldwide is provided from nuclear stations avoiding around 2.5 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions. As of January 2016, ...
