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 ...

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

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 ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment of Tipaza bridges
2016 3rd International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM), 2016Bridges are considered as one of the most important lifelines which can suffer from heavy damages caused by earthquakes. This study aims to assess the seismic vulnerability of bridges using the vulnerability index method. The method is applied on the region of Tipaza (Algeria) taking into account the seismic hazard of the studied area.

Large earthquakes could potentially cause extensive property damage, loss of life, and environmental damage as a result of damage to critical facilities. Assessment of seismic risk to critical facilities such as nuclear power plants and chemical plants is not only important from the standpoint of a large capital investment but also because of potential

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 ...

Seismic Damage Assessment of Steel Frames
Journal of Structural Engineering, 1998The seismic damage analysis of steel frames based on the use of global evaluation indices is addressed. A general procedure is proposed aimed at estimating the degree of damage induced by severe earthquakes in structures not supplied with monitoring systems. Special reference is made to the Park-Ang, McCabe-Hall, and plastic fatigue indices.

Seismic Assessment of Horizontal Cylindrical Reservoirs
2013Industrial facilities contain a large number of constructions and structural components. Both building and non‐building structures typically can be found in an industrial/chemical plant. Above ground pressurised tanks are typical examples of non‐building structures of such sites.
