Seismic performance of a load-bearing prefabricated composite wall panel structure for residential construction

, 2020
To improve both seismic performance and thermal insulation of low-rise housing in rural areas of China, this study proposes a load-bearing prefabricated composite wall panel structure that achieves appropriate seismic performance and energy efficiency ...

Proposal for vertical distribution of seismic design load and equivalent isolation ratio for seismically isolated buildings with multiple types of dampers: Vertical distribution of seismic design load for seismically isolated buildings corresponding to diversity of seismic isolation devices, part 2

Japan Architectural Review
As previously reported, we have proposed a vertical distribution of seismic design load for seismically isolated buildings (SIBs) corresponding to diversity of seismic isolation devices such as hysteretic dampers and velocity‐dependent dampers.

Structural dynamic response of underground structure with vertical ground motion input [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2021
Since many cases of structural damage in past earthquakes have been attributed to strong vertical ground motion, our understanding of vertical seismic load effects and their influence on seismic performance of subway station structure is limited. In this

Centrifuge modeling of rocking-isolated inelastic RC bridge piers [PDF]

, 2014
Experimental proof is provided of an unconventional seismic design concept, which is based on deliberately underdesigning shallow foundations to promote intense rocking oscillations and thereby to dramatically improve the seismic resilience of structures.

Study of modern seismic zoning maps' accuracy (case for Eastern Uzbekistan)

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2016
Influence of uncertainty factors of input parameters on results of the estimation of seismic hazard has been researched. It is found that the largest deviations, from seismic hazard maps designed on the basis of average values of distribution of seismic ...

Seismic assessment and rehabilitation of a historical theatre based on a macro-element strategy [PDF]

, 2011
The structural and seismic assessment of the 19th-century Petruzzelli theater in Bari (Italy) is presented. The macro-elements strategy was adopted to dismantle the whole structure in parts.

Geotechnical design with apparent seismic safety factors well-bellow 1 [PDF]

, 2014
The paper demonstrates that whereas often in seismic geotechnical design it is not realistically feasible to design with ample factor of safety against failure as is done in static design, an "engineering" apparent seismic factor of safety less than 1 ...
