An SSI‐Informed Design for Tuned Mass Dampers With Small‐to‐Large Mass Ratios
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) are used to mitigate structural vibrations induced by seismic or wind excitation, by tuning the device to the system's dominant resonant frequencies. However, the TMD effectiveness can be undermined by soil‐structure interaction, which can lead to elongation of the vibration periods and to combined translational ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Multi‐supported non‐structural components (NSCs) are prone to seismic damage, yet their response prediction remains challenging when support motions are spatially incoherent. This study proposes an enhanced quasi‐static condensation (EQSC) method for linear, lightweight, dynamically detuned multi‐supported NSCs under the neglect of primary ...

Earthen construction: structural vulnerabilities and retrofit solutions for seismic actions
, 2012 Earthen structures present very appealing characteristics regarding a more sustainable practice with the preservation of our natural resources. However, when subjected to earthquake ground motions, this type of construction may present a deficient ...

Development and application of the phase-screen seismic modelling code [PDF]
, 2009 As a consequence of the aims of this project, this thesis is divided into two distinct sections. Initially, the computationally efficient phase-screen forward modelling technique is extended to allow investigation of non-normal ray paths.

Seismic Meta‐Fragility Functions
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fragility functions make for one of the three key components of probabilistic seismic risk analysis, along with hazard and consequence and/or exposure models. They are, in principle, construction‐specific; however, risk analysis is more often performed on a larger (e.g., regional) scale. In this case, so‐called typological fragility curves are

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We perform probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in the Shillong Plateau by clubbing the up‐to‐date earthquake data and seismotectonic properties of the study area. Twenty‐one areal seismic sources are delineated based on the updated earthquake catalog, tectonic, and fault plane solutions.

Sensitivity of 3D Base‐Isolated Buildings to Individual Isolator Variability
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Variability in elastomeric isolators arises from differences in rubber formulation and curing, leading to noticeable changes in stiffness and damping among nominally identical bearings. While most previous studies have examined global isolator variability associated with environmental or aging effects, individual isolator variability has ...
