Three‐Dimensional Analytical Model of a Free‐Standing Square Rocking Column

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A three‐dimensional analytical two‐degree‐of‐freedom (2DOF) model is developed to describe the bounded rocking response of free‐standing rigid square columns subjected to bidirectional seismic excitation. The formulation extends Housner's classical planar theory by deriving the full three‐dimensional equations of motion for a column ...

Fragility Curve Analysis of Medium Cable Stayed Bridge

Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2021
The seismic performance of a bridge can be shown by analyzing the vulnerability of the structure in resisting an earthquake motion and then developing into fragility curves. This study presents a convenient method to establish the fragility curve for the

Quantifying Model Selection Uncertainty in Structural Analysis: Methodology and Application

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With increasing focus on complex engineering systems under rare events, computational models are critical for predictions due to the scarcity or absence of data. However, selecting an appropriate model can be challenging. Using a single model without available test calibration could result in significant bias in performance predictions. A case

Earthquake and Tsunami NaTech Risk Assessment for Oil Storage Facilities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interaction of natural and technological hazards (NaTech) events, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, can affect industrial facilities such as those featuring anchored atmospheric storage tanks. Consequences of natural events on this kind of installation may include the release of hazardous substances, which in turn can lead to industrial ...

Finite Element Modelling of Rocking and Hybrid Precast Walls under Seismic Loading

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, self‐centring systems have received considerable research interest in the seismic design of precast concrete structures for their ability to limit damage and satisfy resilience requirements. Rocking and hybrid structural walls, characterised by the formation of a single gap at the wall–foundation interface, mitigate damage by ...

Sensitivity of Risk‐Based Demand Curves to Analytical Fragility Function Fitting Using Multiple‐Stripe Analyses

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Risk‐based seismic assessments using demand curves that provide mean annual exceedance rates for various system demand levels are increasingly being adopted. Such assessments combine the seismic hazard curve with fragility functions for each demand level, serving as a basis to quantify the average annual losses from system damage. Constructing

Time-Dependent Seismic Fragility of Coastal RC Frames Considering Effect of Distance from Coastline

Buildings
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures in coastal atmospheres commonly suffer the penetration of chloride ions, which can lead to the corrosion of reinforcements and, thus, a reduction in their structural performance under earthquakes. In recent years, time-
