A Multivariate Mixed‐Effects Regression Framework for Ground Motion Modeling: Integrating Parametric and Machine Learning Approaches

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multivariate ground motion models (GMMs) that capture the correlation between different intensity measures (IMs) are essential for seismic risk assessment. Conventional GMMs are often developed using a two‐stage approach, where separate univariate models with predefined functional forms are fitted first, and correlation is addressed in a ...

Finite Element Modelling of Rocking and Hybrid Precast Walls under Seismic Loading

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, self‐centring systems have received considerable research interest in the seismic design of precast concrete structures for their ability to limit damage and satisfy resilience requirements. Rocking and hybrid structural walls, characterised by the formation of a single gap at the wall–foundation interface, mitigate damage by ...

General Framework for Multi‐Degree‐of‐Freedom Stiffness Matrix Updating for Iterative Solution Algorithms in Hybrid Simulation

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iterative solvers are advantageous for handling nonlinear structural analysis problems. The iterative solvers often require updating the stiffness matrix, which limits their application in static and pseudo‐dynamic hybrid simulations because: (1) updating the stiffness matrix of a system involving a physical specimen is challenging; (2 ...
