Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.

SEISMIC ASSESSMENT OF SUSPENDED CEILING SYSTEMS
, 2010 Non-structural components in most types of commercial building represent a major portion of the total cost of the building and, as such, will represent a large portion of the potential losses to owners, occupants, and insurance companies. Non structural

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Estimation of the time required for damaged building components to return to their pre‐earthquake conditions through repair is a critical element in assessing the seismic resilience of buildings, and it requires consideration of uncertainty.

Seismic Performance of Irregular Buildings
Indian Journal of Science and Technology, 2014 Modern building planning is influenced by many factors and often, there is a trend to adopt a form that has irregular shape in plan and also has variation in height of storeys. Due to the varied use, a building is planned for; variations in the load acting on different floors may also differ.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Analysis of the dynamic behaviour of the hangingwall beam during a seismic event
, 1992 Bibliography: leaves 68-72.In a deep-level gold mine planes of weakness oriented parallel to the reef allow the hangingwall to separate from adjacent rock strata. The hangingwall then acts as a separate beam supporting only its selfweight. Mining-induced

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This paper introduces a novel resilience‐based reward‐penalty scheme (RPS) for electricity grids facing high‐impact, low‐probability (HILP) disasters. By modeling the costs of proactive asset immunization against reactive RPS penalties, our analysis conclusively demonstrates that long‐term investment in grid resilience is the more economically rational

Seismic-resistant building practices resulting from local seismic culture
, 2015 Considering that vernacular architecture may bear important lessons on hazard mitigation, this chapter focuses on the European Mediterranean countries and studies traditional seismic-resistant architectural elements and techniques that local populations
