Improving the structural reliability of steel frames using posttensioned connections [PDF]
, 2019 In this paper, various moment-resisting steel frames (MRSFs) are subjected to 30 narrow-band motions scaled at different ground motion intensity levels in terms of spectral acceleration at first mode of vibration in order to perform incremental dynamic ...

Seismic Resilience Assessment of a Regional Bridge Network
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study evaluates the seismic resilience of a regional bridge network, focusing on the interconnectedness and interdependence among individual bridges and emergency facilities. A framework for resilience assessment is developed and applied to a bridge network in Vancouver, British Columbia, consisting of 11 bridges across seven main routes.

Seismic Design of Steel Chevron and Split‐X Concentrically Braced Frames
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper aims to (1) investigate how various design parameters affect seismic response of steel chevron and split‐X braced frames, (2) advance understanding of their seismic behaviour and (3) propose new system‐specific guidelines for accurately estimating their seismic demands and for achieving enhanced seismic performance.

Ultra-thin clay layers facilitate seismic slip in carbonate faults [PDF]
, 2017 Many earthquakes propagate up to the Earth's surface producing surface ruptures. Seismic slip propagation is facilitated by along-fault low dynamic frictional resistance, which is controlled by a number of physico-chemical lubrication mechanisms.

An Earthquake Catalog for Seismic Hazard Assessment in Ecuador
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2013 Building a unified and homogeneous earthquake catalog is a preliminary step for estimating probabilistic seismic hazard in a country. Ecuador, a territory of ∼600 km×500 km, is characterized by an active seismicity, both in the shallow crust and in the subduction zone.

Experimental Characterization of a Full‐Scale Stair System Detailed to Achieve Seismic Resiliency
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Stair systems are the primary means of egress in and out of a building during and after an earthquake. Therefore, it is essential to detail these critical nonstructural systems such that they remain operable during and after an earthquake of moderate to high levels of intensity.
