BuildingsThe multi-strip method is often used to establish a demand model for fragility analysis. Using the multi-strip method to scale the ground motion record may cause uncertainty and bias in structural response calculation and fragility assessment.

DESIGN EARTHQUAKES AND SEISMIC DEMAND FOR PBEE IN FAR-FIELD AND NEAR-SOURCE CONDITIONS
, 2010 In this thesis the problem of identification of design earthquakes and seismic demand for performance based earthquake engineering (PBEE) is studied referring to far-field and near-source conditions.

Seismic Meta‐Fragility Functions
Earthquake 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

Earthquake 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.

Sensitivity of 3D Base‐Isolated Buildings to Individual Isolator Variability
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Variability in elastomeric isolators arises from differences in rubber formulation and curing, leading to noticeable changes in stiffness and damping among nominally identical bearings. While most previous studies have examined global isolator variability associated with environmental or aging effects, individual isolator variability has ...

BuildingsThis study selected a simplified water intake tower model, simplifying the physical structure into a cantilever model, and MATLAB software (R2010b) was used to develop a rapid seismic response analysis program for the structure.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a

Seismic Structural Reliability by Time‐Variant Fragility Functions
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The seismic vulnerability of aging structures is often represented in the form of fragility curves that vary with time. On one hand, each of these functions is intended to apply if the earthquake hits at the time the fragility refers to. On the other hand, performance‐based earthquake engineering (PBEE) resources to classical probabilistic ...

Seismic response analysis of liquefiable ground with computational methods
, 2017 Earthquake-induced liquefaction is one of the most hazardous phenomena in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. This is the reason why existing Seismic Codes exclude liquefiable sites from the regular site categories and essentially prohibit any ...
