Seismic reliability assessment of classical columns subjected to near-fault ground motions [PDF]
, 2013 A methodology for the performance-based seismic risk assessment of classical columns is presented. Despite their apparent instability, classical columns are, in general, earthquake resistant, as proven from the fact that many classical monuments have ...

Fragility assessment for electric cabinet in nuclear power plant using response surface methodology
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2019 An approach for collapse risk assessment is proposed to evaluate the vulnerability of electric cabinet in nuclear power plants. The lognormal approaches, namely maximum likelihood estimation and linear regression, are introduced to establish the ...

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Corruagted Steel Shear Walls Using Fragility Curves [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2019 Structural damages and subsequently considerable economic losses that ever made in catastrophic seismic events caused reaserchers and codes gradually move from prescriptive design to performance-based design.

Influence of Vertical Ground Motions on the Seismic Fragility Modeling of a Bridge-Soil-Foundation System [PDF]
, 2013 This paper explores the effects of vertical ground motions (VGMs) on the component fragility of a coupled bridged-soil-foundation (CBSF) system with liquefaction potential, and highlights the unique considerations on the demand and capacity model ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
