General Framework for Multi‐Degree‐of‐Freedom Stiffness Matrix Updating for Iterative Solution Algorithms in Hybrid Simulation

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iterative solvers are advantageous for handling nonlinear structural analysis problems. The iterative solvers often require updating the stiffness matrix, which limits their application in static and pseudo‐dynamic hybrid simulations because: (1) updating the stiffness matrix of a system involving a physical specimen is challenging; (2 ...

Phanerozoic Large Igneous Province, Petroleum System, and Source Rock Links

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 191-228., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

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

open access: yesEarthquake 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

Evaluation of the Adequacy of Design Specifications for Nonstructural Components in a Reticular Structure

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonstructural components (NSCs) installed in large‐span reticular structures were frequently severely damaged during earthquakes, even when the primary structure remained intact. Existing seismic design specifications for NSCs were predominantly developed for upright structures such as multi‐storey buildings and offer no guidance for reticular

Full‐scale Shaking Table Tests on a 10‐story Steel Moment‐resisting Frame Building with Buckling‐restrained Braces

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In February 2023, a comprehensive series of shaking table tests were conducted at the E‐Defense facility, the world's largest three‐dimensional earthquake simulator, on a full‐scale 10‐story steel moment‐resisting frame supplemented with BRBs.

Probabilistic and Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment in Amol Center, a City in North of Iran [PDF]

open access: yesIranica Journal of Energy and Environment, 2012
In this paper, the peak ground acceleration over the bedrock (PGA) is calculated by a probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard assessment. The active fault map of the region is prepared. For this purpose, all active faults in a radius of 100 km of
