Hilbert–Huang-Transform-Based Seismic Intensity Measures for Rocking Response Assessment

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Structures that can uplift and rock under severe seismic excitations present remarkable stability without exhibiting damage. As such, rocking-response-based structural systems constitute a promising design practice.

Optimal seismic upgrade timing in seaports with increasing throughput demand via real options [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A real options (RO) formulation is proposed for decision-making on the timing to upgrade the seismic performance of existing seaports with increasing throughput demand in earthquake prone areas.

Seismic reliability assessment of classical columns subjected to near-fault ground motions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A methodology for the performance-based seismic risk assessment of classical columns is presented. Despite their apparent instability, classical columns are, in general, earthquake resistant, as proven from the fact that many classical monuments have ...

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

open access: yes, 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.

Earthquake Economic Loss Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Structures Using Multiple Response Variables

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
For buildings that meet the requirements of current seismic design codes, damage to nonstructural components and the internal objects of buildings often become the main source of the seismic economic losses of these buildings.

Performance Based Seismic Design

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advance Innovations, Thoughts & Ideas, 2015
Performance-based seismic design, which is a relatively new concept, came into existence as a means to ascertain the likely performance of an existing building structure during an earthquake. However, this approach is equally applicable to new buildings being designed.
