Robustness Evaluation of Elastoplastic Base-Isolated High-Rise Buildings Subjected to Critical Double Impulse

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2017
A new method of robustness evaluation is proposed for an elastoplastic base-isolated high-rise building considering simultaneous uncertainties of structural parameters.

Punk rock as popular theatre [PDF]

, 2007
Punk rock performance consciously draws on popular theatre forms like music hall and stand-up comedy, as exemplified by the occasion when Max Wall appeared with Ian Dury at the Hammersmith Odeon.

Collapse-Limit Input Level of Critical Double Impulse for Damped Bilinear Hysteretic SDOF System With Negative Post-yield Stiffness

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019
The collapse-limit input velocity level of the critical double impulse simulating the principal part of near-fault ground motions is derived for an elastic-plastic structure with viscous damping and P-delta effect.

Explicit Overturning Limit of Rigid Block Using Triple and Pseudo-Triple Impulses Under Critical Near-Fault Ground Motions

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2021
An explicit limit for the overturning of a rigid block is derived on the input level of the triple impulse and the pseudo-triple impulse as a modified version of the triple impulse that are a substitute of a near-fault forward-directivity ground motion ...

Critical double impulse input and bound of earthquake input energy to building structure

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2015
A theory of earthquake input energy to building structures under single impulse is useful for disclosing the property of energy transfer function. This property shows that the area of the energy transfer function is constant irrespective of natural ...

Hysteretic-Viscous Hybrid Damper System With Stopper Mechanism for Tall Buildings Under Earthquake Ground Motions of Extremely Large Amplitude

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020
This paper is aimed at proposing a hysteretic-viscous hybrid (HVH) damper system for tall buildings subjected to long-period pulse-type earthquake ground motions of extremely large amplitudes. The HVH system was introduced for a single-degree-of-freedom (

General Dynamic Collapse Criterion for Elastic–Plastic Structures Under Double Impulse as Substitute of Near-Fault Ground Motion

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020
A dynamic collapse criterion for elastic–plastic structures under near-fault ground motions is derived analytically by approximately transforming near-fault ground motions into double impulse and using an energy balance law.

Closed-form critical earthquake response of elastic-plastic structures on compliant ground under near-fault ground motions

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2016
The double impulse is introduced as a substitute of the fling-step near-fault ground motion. A closed-form solution of the elastic-plastic response of a structure on compliant (flexible) ground by the ‘critical double impulse’ is derived for the first ...
