Seismic vulnerability analysis of steel buildings in Bogotá, Colombia [PDF]
, 2012 A number of mid-height steel buildings have been erected recently in Bogotá. Their seismic risk might be high, given the new microzonation of Bogotá and the lack of previous studies; remarkably, the response reduction factors were commonly obtained from ...

Parametric plastic collapse loads and their validation for horizontal saddle supported storage vessels [PDF]
, 2003 In general, progressive plastic collapse occurs in vessels with low values of R/t ratio, typically less than 200, and elastic-plastic buckling is observed in vessels with higher R/t ratios. The aim of this paper is to examine various theoretical analyses

The buckling and collapse behaviour of saddle-supported cylinders - Keynote Lecture [PDF]
, 2003 Recent work by the present authors on the collapse conditions for horizontal cylindrical saddle supported storage vessels is described and reviewed. Attention is directed to a range of geometries, typically R/t < 200, where plastic collapse type failure ...

Analytical modeling of reinforced concrete columns subjected to bidirectional shear [PDF]
, 2017 Under general seismic loading, reinforced concrete columns may be subjected to lateral loads in more than one direction. Available experimental data on columns subjected to bidirectional forces indicate that higher levels of damage and a higher loss of ...
