Development and Validation of a Seismic Design Method for Anchored Retaining Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retaining walls with multiple anchor levels are widely used as permanent excavation support systems for the construction of linear infrastructures. Yet, their seismic behaviour remains largely unexplored, and current design approaches rely on conventional procedures that do not adequately reflect the actual dynamic response of these systems ...

Next‐Generation Seismic Performance Assessment Through Multi‐Component Ground Motion Compatible Intensifying Artificial Acceleration

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the crucial need for fully quantitative risk assessment of large‐scale structures, their performance is typically assessed through deterministic or semi‐quantitative approaches. The main preventing factor is the computational burden of probabilistic seismic analyses.

Displacement Estimation of Structures With Flag‐Shaped Hysteresis Loops

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Time‐history analyses were conducted on single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) systems with flag‐shaped hysteresis loops using a far‐field ground motion suite to estimate peak displacements, Δp, and equivalent deformation cycles, Nc, associated with cumulative displacement demands.

Numerical Simulations of 5‐Story Building Using Wood Light‐Frame Shear Walls and Post‐Tensioned Cross‐Laminated Timber Rocking Wall Dual Systems

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the seismic performance of a five‐story prototype building using different configurations of a dual lateral force‐resisting system (LFRS) combining post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber rocking walls (PT‐CLT‐RW) with conventional wood light‐frame shear walls (LiFS).

A Three‐Parameter Continuum Timoshenko Beam Framework for Evaluating Higher‐Mode Effects in High‐Rise Buildings With Rotational and Translational Base Flexibility

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Higher‐mode effects can significantly amplify seismic demands in high‐rise buildings, causing unintended damage over the building height. Engineered mechanisms are introduced at the base of these structures to mitigate higher‐mode effects. Existing continuum formulations for base‐flexible buildings commonly idealize the superstructure as a ...

A Practical Formulation for Seismic Damage Accumulation on Multiple Mainshock‐Aftershock Sequences Based on Disaggregation of the Mainshock Hazard

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Earthquakes often occur in clusters (foreshocks, mainshocks, and aftershocks) and can lead to cumulative structural damage. Many studies have extended traditional performance‐based earthquake engineering (PBEE) to account for damage accumulation in multiple mainshock‐aftershock (MS‐AS) sequences using Markov chain processes and state‐dependent

Glazing Effects on Dynamic‐Insulation TSC Façades: A CFD‐Supported Experimental Study of Flow, Heat Transfer, and Ventilation Preheating

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Glazed transpired solar collectors achieve 48–75% efficiency and 11% more seasonal heat than unglazed designs by cutting convective losses, while both offer complementary benefits for ventilation preheating and dynamic wall insulation, with paybacks of 5.5–6.8 years.
