Seismic Upgrading of Existing Steel Buildings Built on Soft Soil Using Passive Damping Systems
Buildings, 2023 In regions prone to seismic activity, buildings constructed on soft soil pose a significant concern due to their inferior seismic performance. This situation often results in considerable structural damage, substantial economic loss, and increased risk ...

A Damage Model for Seismic Retrofitting of Structures [PDF]
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2009 Numerous damage models have been developed in order to analyse the seismic behavior. Among the different possibilities existing in the literature, it is very clear that models developed along the lines of Continuum Damage Mechanics are more consistent with the definition of damage like a phenomenon with mechanical consequences as they include ...
