Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.

Applied Element Modelling of Out‐Of‐Plane Instability in Boundary Elements of Thin RC Walls
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent earthquakes in Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011) caused extensive damage to buildings featuring reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls, with observed failure modes including out‐of‐plane instability of slender walls. This buckling‐type response under combined in‐plane and out‐of‐plane loading has also been documented in ...

SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF INTAKE TOWER OF DAM
International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology, 2013 Intake towers are typically tall, hollow, reinforce d concrete structures and form entrance to reservoi r outlet works. A parametric study on dynamic behavior of circular cylindrical t owers can be carried out to study the effect of dep th of submergence, wall thickness and slenderness ratio, and also effect on tower con sidering dynamic analysis for ...

Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Estimation of the time required for damaged building components to return to their pre‐earthquake conditions through repair is a critical element in assessing the seismic resilience of buildings, and it requires consideration of uncertainty.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This paper introduces a novel resilience‐based reward‐penalty scheme (RPS) for electricity grids facing high‐impact, low‐probability (HILP) disasters. By modeling the costs of proactive asset immunization against reactive RPS penalties, our analysis conclusively demonstrates that long‐term investment in grid resilience is the more economically rational

Multicontinuum Homogenization for Poroelasticity Model
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.This work derives a generalized multicontinuum poroelasticity model using the multicontinuum homogenization method to enable accurate coarse‐grid simulations of coupled flow–mechanics processes in highly heterogeneous porous media. Coupled constraint cell problems are formulated, and the corresponding multicontinuum equations are rigorously derived ...
