Seismic Response of Hybrid Systems with Metallic and Viscous Dampers
(2016-06-27)
Metallic dampers can enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced lateral displacements, and by reducing inelastic behavior of beams and columns. Limiting story drift also indirectly allows for mitigation ...
Seismic Design of Multi-story Buildings with Metallic Structural Fuses
(2006-06-28)
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 ...
Radiated seismic energy from coda measurements and no scaling in apparent stress with seismic moment
The seismic coda consists of scattered waves that leave the earthquake source in a variety of directions. The averaging of source radiation that results leads to stable ground motion spectra that we use as the basis for a ...
Floor Response of SDOF Systems with Metallic Structural Fuses
(2004-06-26)
The floor demands of Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) systems designed or retrofitted with metallic structural fuses are studied in this article. Floor velocity and acceleration are obtained and comparisons are made between ...

Correlations between Energy and Displacement Demands for Performance-Based Seismic Engineering
(BIRKHAUSER VERLAG AG, 2011-01)
The development of a scientific framework for performance-based seismic engineering requires, among other steps, the evaluation of ground motion intensity measures at a site and the characterization of their relationship ...
Seismic risk assessment of spatially distributed electric power systems
(National Information Centre of Earthquake Engineering, 2017)
The adequate performance of critical infrastructure such as transportation, telecommunications, healthcare, and electric power systems are essential to the resilience of communities after major earthquakes. However, assessing ...
Investigation of the Structural Fuse Concept
(2005-06-26)
Passive energy dissipation (PED devices have been implemented to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. In this paper metallic dampers are defined to be structural fuses (SF) when ...
