Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In current dynamic time history assessment protocols, ground motion recordings are mostly oriented along fixed sensor directions. Consequently, the orientation of the principal resultant of rupture energy, which may control the maximum structural demand, remains undefined, precluding consistent correlation with physically detrimental ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Allowing structural systems to uplift and rock during seismic excitation has emerged as an effective and inherently self‑centering form of seismic isolation. This paper develops a computationally efficient 3D analytical model suitable for the understanding of the behavior of rocking bridges.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

Assessment of seismic performance of adobe structures in Pakistan and Portugal [PDF]
, 2012 Adobe buildings exist in different parts of the world. The construction of these buildings can be carried out economically, using locally available materials and skills that do not require use of modern machinery.

Combined Elastic and Limit Analysis for Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Pitched Portal Frames
BuildingsThis paper presents a combined approach for the seismic vulnerability assessment of pitched portal frames by coupling elastic and limit analysis. Pitched portal frames are widely adopted both in civil and industrial building structures, as well as in ...

Journal of Counseling &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Flourishing Scale (FS) scores have demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties in general adult populations, but no previous research has validated its use among natural disaster survivors. This study examined the reliability, validity, and measurement invariance of a Mexican dialect Spanish translation of the FS in 289 Mexican ...

Seismic vulnerability of existing buildings: non-invasive approach for dynamic behaviour assessment
GEOmedia, 2018 This paper presents a brief overview of the concept of seismic risk, with particular regard to existing civil buildings. Given that the seismic risk can be expressed as a combination involving seismic hazard and seismic vulnerability, these aspects are ...
