The emphasis in these notes is on the use of random vibration analyses to predict the response of structures to earthquake ground motion. Random vibration analysis has as its aim the prediction of the probability distribution of a dynamic response parameter of interest in terms of the dynamic properties of the structure and a statistical description of

Seismic assessment of RC column under seismic loads
International Journal of Structural Integrity, 2019PurposeAs it is widely known, corrosion is a major deterioration factor for structures which are located on coastal areas. Corrosion has a great impact on both the durability and seismic performance of reinforced concrete structures. In the present study, two identical reinforced concrete columns were constructed and mechanical tests were organized to ...

Seismic Safety Assessment of Gated Spillways
Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 2009This paper presents an innovative three-dimensional performance-based earthquake engineering assessment methodology for gated spillways. Several functionality and structural stability limit states are defined. The functionality of the gates is tackled by assessing seismic demand-to-capacity indices along a success path leading to postearthquake gate ...

SEISMIC FRAGILITY ASSESSMENT OF MEDICAL COMPONENTS
Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2015Shake table tests on a full scale three-dimensional model of a consultation room has been carried out at the University of Naples, Federico II ,Italy . The sample room con-tains a number of typical medical components, which are either directly connected to the panel boards of the perimeter walls or are simple free-standing elements.

Economic Seismic Loss Assessment
2019Economic seismic loss is one of the most important indices that quantify the seismic resilience of a structural system. This chapter provides further insight into the potential of SMA-based self-centring frames for reducing the economic seismic losses.

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment Methodology for Distributed Seismicity
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2003This study deals with probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) based on earthquakes that cannot be assigned to specific geologic structures (distributed seismicity). To calculate seismic hazard from distributed seismicity, the PSHA methodology is extended in numerous ways. A simple quantitative seismotectonic model enables statistical incorporation

Pombalino Constructions: Description and Seismic Assessment
2013This chapter describes the Pombalino building structures built in Lisbon downtown and other parts of Portugal during the reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake, as well as their earthquake resistant features. In particular the importance of the Gaiola Pombalina, a tridimensional wood truss characteristic of those constructions, in the potential ...

On modeling seismicity in seismic hazard assessment problems
Doklady Rossijskoj akademii nauk. Nauki o ZemleSeismicity modeling is an important part of creating General Seismic Zoning maps within the framework of a probabilistic approach. We consider the main disadvantages of individual elements of the recent seismicity models. A variant of the methodology is proposed, which, due to the improvements of those elements, should provide more accurate estimates ...
