Seismic damage assessment and basis for damage-limiting design
Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics, 1988Abstract A seismic damage model is developed for reinforced concrete structures in which the structural damage is expressed as a linear combination of the maximum deformation and the hysteretic energy dissipation. From an extensive damage analysis of various reinforced concrete buildings, an intensity scale is derived to describe the potential ...

Absorbers of Seismic Energy for Damaged Masonary Structures
2008In the present paper problem of damage of masonry structures due to earthquake is considered. It is known that masonry structures are very sensitive to earth shaking. Built from the bricks and bond by mortar, they cannot transmit large tensile stresses.

Seismic Reliability of Damaged Concrete Beams
Journal of Structural Engineering, 1983A method is developed to estimate the reliability of a seismically damaged structure that will be subjected to future earthquakes. Damage states are defined, and conditional as well as initial damage probability matrices are introduced, in such a manner that the definition of the damage is consistent with the kind of accuracy achieved when the extent ...

Seismic damage to segmented buried pipelines
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 1990AbstractSeismic damage to segmented buried pipelines is investigated in this paper. Information on their performance during past earthquakes is reviewed briefly. An analytical model for evaluating the response of long straight runs of segmented buried pipelines to seismic wave propagation is presented. It takes into account the non‐linearity as well as

Analysis of seismic damage and seismic capacity of the structure of the ultrahigh pagoda
The Structural Design of Tall and Special BuildingsAbstractThe Chongwen Pagoda is the tallest masonry pagoda in China, with numerous openings inside the pagoda body. It is prone to damage during earthquakes, and the patterns of damage are complex. In order to scientifically analyze the dynamic performance, earthquake damage patterns, and mechanisms of the pagoda structure, on‐site dynamic testing was ...

An analytical function for the evaluation of seismic damage in structures
An analytical procedure for evaluating structural damage caused by seismic events, is proposed in the paper. This procedure uses information obtainable from structural response records, and thus it can be applied essentially to "monitored" buildings.Stefano Sorace +2 more

The Theory Research of Tunnels Seismic Damage
2012Many highway tunnels were subjected to varying degrees of damage in the 5.12 earthquake. According to the damaged features of tunnels in earthquakes at home and abroad, the macroscopic damage of tunnels are summarized. On the base of the damage manifestation, the failure mechanism of tunnel damage is preliminarily analyzed.

A Seismic Damage Model for Masonry Structures
1987Masonry structures are common in seismic areas despite their generally poor performance in past earthquakes. Loss of lives and severe damage to masonry structures during earthquakes, such as the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, underscores the need for a method to assess the potential damage to masonry structures subjected to seismic ground motions.
