General Seismic Load Distribution for Optimum Performance-Based Design of Shear-Buildings [PDF]
, 2012 An optimization method based on uniform damage distribution is used to find optimum design load distribution for seismic design of regular and irregular shear-buildings to achieve minimum structural damage.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper illustrates opportunities for the use of simulated ground motions in seismic performance assessment – from seismic hazard, ground‐motion selection, response history analysis, and seismic demand hazard calculation. The illustration is through a comparative analysis with the conventional alternative of observed ground motions.

Reliability of Cut Slopes Under Seismic Loading
Soils and Foundations, 1992 This paper presents a method capable of evaluating the seismic stability of a cut slope formed by strain-softening soil; to date, no method appears to be available for this purpose. The method consists of the following steps : (1) the horizontal vibration of a sliding mass subjected to an earthquake loading is converted into an equivalent single-degree-

An SSI‐Informed Design for Tuned Mass Dampers With Small‐to‐Large Mass Ratios
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) are used to mitigate structural vibrations induced by seismic or wind excitation, by tuning the device to the system's dominant resonant frequencies. However, the TMD effectiveness can be undermined by soil‐structure interaction, which can lead to elongation of the vibration periods and to combined translational ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Multi‐supported non‐structural components (NSCs) are prone to seismic damage, yet their response prediction remains challenging when support motions are spatially incoherent. This study proposes an enhanced quasi‐static condensation (EQSC) method for linear, lightweight, dynamically detuned multi‐supported NSCs under the neglect of primary ...

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 ...
