The behavior of buildings when subjected to severe seismic events, that force them to enter in the non-linear range is studied. Using simple three-dimensional models of structures, the influence that several parameters ...

Through this research is detailed the Brazilian seismic code focused on concrete projects design related to seismic engineering. At the beginning of the research is debated the fundaments of the seismic effects, the influence ...

Peru is located in a high seismicity region, since is on the subduction zone between the tectonic plates of Nazca and South American, both belonging to the Pacific's Ring of Fire. Peru is a developing country, so it is of ...

Currently, there is an increase in the demand for tall buildings in the city of Lima. This research proposes to reduce the dynamic amplification factor through the seismic design of tall buildings based on the requirements ...

State-of-the-art model building code for seismic design and construction of buildings as well as recommendations for the updating of existing codes, so that ACS Member Countries be able to endow themselves with new appropriate ...

Seismic design relies on inelastic deformations through hysteretic behavior. However, this translates into damage on structural elements, permanent system deformations following an earthquake, and possibly high cost for ...

The present study describes the procedures and results of inspections carried out in public school buildings constructed in Chile between the 40s and 80s. These buildings constitute part of the country’s modern heritage. ...
