Nonlinear Dynamic Analyses Utilising Macro-Models of Reinforced Concrete Building Structures and Site-Specific Accelerograms

open access: yesCivilEng, 2023
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

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 336-349, February 2026.
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

open access: yesJAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 9, Issue 1, January–December 2026.
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

open access: yesStructural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and 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 ...

Impact of Force‐Based, Performance‐Based, and Performance‐Based Plastic Design and Ground Motion Records on Deviation of Engineering Demand Parameters in Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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.

Flexural behavior of rubberized concrete beams: Insights from experimental and numerical investigations

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 9143-9163, December 2025.
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

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1466-1485, December 2025.
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.

Effects of higher modes and MDOF on strength reduction factor of elastoplastic structures under far and near-fault ground motions

open access: yesAin Shams Engineering Journal, 2017
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.
