Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Steel Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) are widely used in seismic regions, with chevron and split‐X configurations commonly adopted for their structural efficiency and architectural flexibility. Although extensive research has been carried out on these systems, the effectiveness of the formulations available in the literature for estimating

The effect of stochastic dependence of observations on hazard validation studies
, 2015 In countries with an advanced seismic technical culture, where best - practice probabilistic hazard studies are available along with dense seismic networks, there is an increasing interest in validation of hazard maps.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Considering the needs for reducing carbon emissions and except for extreme cases of very degraded existing structures, research on technologies allowing continued use or upgrading of older buildings has become a priority topic. Generally, research on upgrading of reinforced concrete frame structures certainly has a prominent role, because of ...

Seismic hazard assessment of Greenland
Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2007 Earthquake activity in Greenland has been registered and mapped since 1907 (Larsen et al. 2006) and thus a long (albeit relatively sparse) record of seismic activity is available for evaluation of seismic hazard and risk. Seismic hazard assessment is carried out by judging the probability of future earthquakes in a given region and is based on ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Retaining walls are key geotechnical components of road infrastructure, whose seismic performance directly affects the resilience of transportation networks. Despite their importance, seismic fragility models for retaining walls available in the literature refer only to specific case studies.
