This paper aims to guide structural engineers on how to apply the rapid nonlinear time history analysis (RNLTHA) procedure effectively to predict seismic demand, taking into account ductility and overstrength, and effects of dynamic phenomena including ...

Risk‐Targeted Seismic Design Maps for Mexico
ABSTRACT Risk‐targeted seismic design maps for Mexico are presented. Risk‐targeted approach establishes an acceptable risk level, measured with the annual collapse probability, to determine seismic design coefficients. Seismic design maps are calculated for an annual probability of collapse of 1 × 10−4 and 2 × 10−4.

Plastic Behavior and Design Methodology for Curved Members in Seismic Applications
This study investigated the plastic behavior of curved members through static analysis and extensive parametric studies, focusing on initial elastic stiffness, plastic strength, slenderness effects, and section compactness. Estimation equations were developed and validated, contributing to the development of a connection design methodology that ...

Seismic Vulnerability of Non-Code-Compliant and Code-Compliant RC Buildings
This study investigates the seismic vulnerability of non-code-compliant reinforced concrete (RC) buildings compared to code-based structures. The research uses linear elastic and nonlinear pushover analyses (NPA) to evaluate critical seismic performance ...

Performance‐based design (PBD) is widely seen as a superior alternative to force‐based design (FBD), yet no standard procedure exists for its implementation. In contrast, performance‐based plastic design (PBPD) has emerged as a theoretically robust and user‐friendly design method.

Abstract Rubberized concrete (RuC), which incorporates recycled tire rubber aggregates in the matrix, offers a viable solution for managing waste tire disposal. Although adding rubber aggregates reduces the compressive strength of concrete, research suggests that in specific applications, such as flexure‐controlled members, this adverse effect can be ...

Nietzsche's Conception of Skepticism as Intellectual Virtue and Vice
Abstract Recent approaches are unable to make full sense of Nietzsche's distinction between weak and strong skepticism (BGE 208–209; A54). In this paper, I propose an alternative interpretation. My suggestion is that this distinction is best understood in the context of his virtue epistemology.

In seismic codes, the force strength reduction factor is proposed to transform elastic to inelastic strength. The ductility reduction factor, Rμ, plays a key role on R factor if no overstrength is present. The Rμ is determined by SDOF systems.
