An SSI‐Informed Design for Tuned Mass Dampers With Small‐to‐Large Mass Ratios

open access: yesEarthquake 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 ...

Seismic Behavior of Soft First Storey

open access: yesIOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering, 2012
In the aftermath of recent North Kashmir Earthquake of October 8, 2005, there is increased awareness for the need to evaluate and improve the seismic performance of multistoried reinforced concrete buildings. There are several numbers of factors affecting the behavior of building. Stiffness irregularity in vertical direction is one of them, as a result

An Efficient Quasi‐Static Condensation‐Based Framework for Seismic Analysis of Multi‐Supported Secondary Structures

open access: yesEarthquake 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 ...

Cyclic Behavior of Seismically Non-Conforming Interior Reinforced Concrete Beam–Column Joints

open access: yesBuildings
The cyclic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beam–column joints (BCJs) is still one of the critical issues in structural engineering. In this context, for the purpose of gaining a more in-depth insight about the sophisticated behavior of BCJs under ...

Seismic Meta‐Fragility Functions

open access: yesEarthquake 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

Experimental Study on the Seismic Behavior of CFST Self-Centering Rocking Bridge Piers

open access: yesBuildings
Compared to conventional reinforced concrete (RC) piers, self-centering rocking piers exhibit better seismic resilience and sustain minor damage. However, their construction typically relies on prefabrication.

Surface Consistent Seismic Hazard Assessment in the Shillong Plateau, Northeast India: A Probabilistic Approach Using Multiple Source Models and a Logic Tree Framework

open access: yesEarthquake 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.
