Estimation Method of Maximum Inter-Story Drift Angle of Wood-Frame House using Two Accelerometers [PDF]

Materials Research Proceedings, 2021
Abstract. In April 2016, Kumamoto earthquake occurred in Japan and many wooden houses collapsed and many lives were lost because of the second and larger main shock. As a result, the need for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) for wooden houses is receiving increased attention.

Application of Modal-Displacement Based Design Method to Multi-Story Timber Blockhaus Structures

Applied Sciences, 2020
Structures under seismic excitation undergo different inter-story drift levels that can be associated to damage of both structural and non-structural elements, and thus to the expected losses.

Numerical analysis of effective parameters in response of the nonlinear passive viscous systems [PDF]

Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2017
In this article all the effective parameters in response of nonlinear passive viscous systems are investigated. Here, the term response is referred to the maximum inter-story drift and maximum absolute acceleration of the stories.

Evaluation of seismic design provisions for a drift and inter-story drift relationship [PDF]

WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2015
Maximum roof drift (RD) and inter-story drift (ISD) demands are important seismic design parameters since they are used to evaluate seismic hazard levels and performance state for structures located in seismic regions. ISD demand, especially, is an important seismic design parameter for evaluation of seismic performance of both structural and non ...

A novel inter-story drift limit proposal for TBEC2018 and fragility prognosis with TSC2007

Journal of Structural Engineering & Applied Mechanics, 2021
The basic purpose of this paper is to investigate and propose a novel inter-story drift limits for the current Turkish Seismic Code to get easy structural assessment by using software. For this aim, numerical analysis was performed by modeling two types of RC frame structures. One of them is 5 stories, the other of them is 7 stories.
