PERFORMANCE BASED SEISMIC ENGINEERING [PDF]

The International Conference on Civil and Architecture Engineering, 2008
Performance based seismic engineering is the modern approach to earthquakeresistant design. Rather than being based on prescriptive mostly empirical codeformulations, performance based design is an attempt to predict buildings withpredictable seismic performance.

The bases of seismic microzoning of the territories with difficult engineering-geological conditions (on the example of the Black Sea coast of North-West Caucasus)

Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2017
The paper considers the territory of the Black Sea coast of North-West Caucasus, to determine the complexity and the degree of variability of the engineering-geological conditions as factors of the degree of a local seismic hazard changing.

Numerical treatment of seismic accelerograms and of inelastic seismic structural responses using harmonic wavelets [PDF]

, 2007
The harmonic wavelet transform is employed to analyze various kinds of nonstationary signals common in aseismic design. The effectiveness of the harmonic wavelets for capturing the temporal evolution of the frequency content of strong ground motions is ...

Entropy Analysis for Damage Quantification of Hysteretic Dampers Used as Seismic Protection of Buildings

Applied Sciences, 2017
Relative wavelet energy entropy (RWEE) is proposed to detect and quantify damage to hysteretic dampers used for the passive seismic control of building structures. Hysteretic dampers have the role of dissipating most of the energy input of an earthquake.

An efficient methodology to estimate probabilistic seismic damage curves [PDF]

, 2019
The incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is a powerful methodology that can be easily extended for calculating probabilistic seismic damage curves. These curves are metadata to assess the seismic risk of structures.

Determining the Location of the National Repository of Italian Radioactive Waste: A Multi-Risk Analysis Approach

Infrastructures
Following the 1987 referendums, the Italian government stopped its nuclear energy production. Radioactive waste produced by existing nuclear facilities and the very-low- and low-level radioactive waste due to other activities (e.g., healthcare) require ...
