Studies on the seismic response of skewed integral abutment bridges have mainly focused on response under far-field non-pulse-type ground motions, yet the large amplitude and long-period velocity pulses in near-fault ground motions might have significant

Seismic Fragility Assessment of Steel SMRF Structures under Various Types of Near and Far Fault Ground Motions [PDF]
In this paper, the seismic collapse probability of special steel moment-resisting frame (SSMRF) structures, designed to 4th edition of Iranian seismic design code, under near fault pulse-like and far fault ordinary ground motions is evaluated through ...

A NEW LOAD PATTERN FOR PUSHOVER ANALYSIS OF BASE-ISOLATED STRUCTURES [PDF]
In this paper, a new load pattern is proposed for pushover analysis of base isolated structures. Accuracy of the proposed load pattern and other conventional load patterns is evaluated through two sample structures under two ensembles of earthquake ...

Dimensional response analysis of multistorey regular steel MRF subjected to pulselike earthquake ground motions [PDF]
An alternative and efficient procedure to estimate the maximum inelastic roof displacement and the maximum inelastic interstorey drift ratio along the height of regular multi-storey steel MRF subjected to pulse-like ground motions is proposed. The method

Integrated fault estimation and accommodation design for discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems with actuator faults [PDF]
This paper addresses the problem of integrated robust fault estimation (FE) and accommodation for discrete-time Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems. First, a multiconstrained reduced-order FE observer (RFEO) is proposed to achieve FE for discrete-time ...

Comparison between the Effects of Near- and Far-Fault Ground Motions on the Seismic Response of a Soil-Pile-Structure System [PDF]
Ground motions recorded in near-fault sites, where the rupture propagates toward the site, are significantly different from those observed in far-fault regions.

Influence of Near Fault Records on the Optimal Performance of Isolated Continuous Bridges
This study aims at evaluating the optimal value of the friction coefficient in case of multi-span continuous deck bridges equipped with single concave friction pendulum devices. The bridge is modelled with a six-degree-of-freedom system considering the presence of the isolator on top of both the abutment and the pier.
