Seismic vulnerability assessment of precast post-tensioned segmental bridge piers subject to far-fault ground motions [PDF]
Structures, 2021 Abstract Precast post-tensioned segmental (PPS) bridge piers mitigate global and local damages of bridge structures through natural hinges (joints between their segments) and rocking motion of their segments. The application of the PPS piers is currently growing in Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) where the segments are manufactured offsite with

Estimating Maximum Rotation of Beam of R.C. Momentâresisting Frames Using Equivalent Pulses of Near-fault Motions [PDF]
مجله مدل سازی در مهندسی, 2017 Seismic events all over the world have shown that ground motions in vicinity of causative faults (within a distance of 15 km from the fault) may be categorized as large-velocity pulse and large-displacement fault which have the potential to cause ...

Comparative Evaluation of Behavior Factor of SMRF Structures for Near and Far Fault Ground Motions
Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering, 2016 In common design codes, earthquake loads are reduced by a coefficient (behavior factor) which depends on nonlinear seismic performance of structure during earthquake event. Nonlinear performance of structures depends on structural properties and ground motion characteristics.

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2016 The effect of near-fault ground displacement is a significant factor when structures straddle a fault, because the fault produces both static step-like deformations and dynamic pulse-like ground motions. It has been observed that the static displacements

Evaluation of 3D Nonlinear Earthquake Behaviour of the Ilısu CFR Dam under Far‐Fault Ground Motions
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2019 In the recent times, many huge concrete face rockfill dams (CFRDs) have been modelled and constructed in the world, and many of these dams are located on the strong earthquake zones. Examination of the seismic behaviour of a CFR dam built on the seismic zone is very important to assess the safety and future of the dam.

Quantitative bounded method of special long-period ground motions
Magazine of Civil Engineering, 2022 The resonance effect of special long-period ground motions to (super) high-rise buildings is significant, which is likely to cause serious damage to these long-period structures. Therefore, the influence of long-period ground motions cannot be ignored in

Evaluation of seismic parameters of steel moment resisting frames based on “FEMA P-695” under near-field rotated ground motion [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2016 Behavior factor (R) is one of the seismic design parameters that considers nonlinear performance of structures during an earthquake. In most of the seismic design codes, behavior factor has been used for considering nonlinear performance of structures in
