The default procedure indicated by the current seismic design code in the United States (ASCE 7-10) to determine seismic demands on acceleration-sensitive nonstructural components (NSCs) is a practical but perhaps somewhat ...

In this work, a numerical model to perform non-linear analysis of building floor structures is proposed. The presented model is derived from the Kirchhoff-s plate bending formulation of the boundary element method (BENI) ...

The growth of steel as structural material and the development of more advanced computational programs, coupled with the advancement of technology, allow the numerical modeling and analysis of steel building structures to ...

Na cidade de São Paulo (SP), a construção civil de edifícios residenciais de múltiplos pavimentos intensificou-se na década de 1930, com estruturas de concreto armado e alvenaria de vedação. Esse processo construtivo se ...

In this study, the seismic response of adjacent steel structures linked to one another at different floor levels by passive devices is evaluated. Two types of connectors are considered: linear viscous dampers and linear ...
