A Macro‐Model for Simulating Gusset Plate Buckling in Buckling‐Restrained Braced Frame Buildings

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT 2D models, which are conventionally employed for the seismic performance assessment of buckling‐restrained braced frame (BRBF) buildings, are incapable of simulating the out‐of‐plane buckling of gusset plates. This study presents a novel 3D macro‐modelling approach capable of capturing the out‐of‐plane buckling of gusset plates in BRBFs.

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Lead High‐Damping Rubber Bearings Tested by Real‐Time Hybrid Simulations at Low Temperatures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lead high‐damping rubber (LHDR) bearings, composed of high‐damping rubber and lead core, are effective isolation devices that address increased seismic demands. The temperature effect on the behavior of LHDR bearings is significant, leading to increased initial stiffness at low temperatures.

Effective Adaptation Options to Alleviate Nuisance Flooding in Coastal Megacities—Learning From Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

open access: yesEarth's Future
The economies and livelihoods of many coastal megacities are at serious risk from flooding, despite investments in flood defenses. For instance, in Ho Chi Minh City, the construction of a large‐scale ring‐dike has mitigated negative effects from storm ...

Observational Seismic Fragility Models for Unreinforced Masonry Buildings Based on Building‐by‐Building Damage Data From the 2012 Emilia Earthquakes

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over recent decades, Italy has been affected by multiple earthquakes, revealing the significant vulnerability of existing structures. These seismic events have resulted in notable human and economic losses, emphasising the importance of evaluating the impact of one or more seismic events on various building types.
