Sensitivity of Building Loss Estimates to Major Uncertain Variables [PDF]

, 2002
This paper examines the question of which sources of uncertainty most strongly affect the repair cost of a building in a future earthquake. Uncertainties examined here include spectral acceleration, ground-motion details, mass, damping, structural force ...

DETERMINATION OF SEISMIC VULNERABILITY INDEX AND SEDIMENT THICKNESS USING THE HVSR METHOD IN PALU CITY AREA

Tadulako Science and Technology Journal, 2023
The Palu City area is one of the areas that are vulnerable to the impact of the earthquake, seen from the seismicity and the Palu-Koro fault. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the seismic vulnerability index and the thickness of the sediment layer in the Palu city area.

Bond‐slip modeling for reinforced concrete beam‐column joints with plain reinforcement bars: Insights from numerical validation

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The previous seismic events indicated the vulnerability of old reinforced concrete (RC) structures against earthquakes due to the absence of seismic detailing and capacity design specifications in such buildings. In this context, beam‐column joints (BCJ) of the existing RC structures built before the 1970s have exhibited poor structural ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment of existing masonry buildings: case study of the old city centre of Faro, Portugal [PDF]

, 2014
The seismic vulnerability and risk assessment of old city centre areas is truly essential in urban rehabilitation programs and should not be focused exclusively over recognized historical and patrimonial valuable buildings but also in relation to current

Performance enhancement of reinforced concrete columns using stainless steel and galvanized steel plates: Experimental and numerical investigation

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces an innovative approach to strengthening defected reinforced concrete (RC) columns using externally bonded stainless steel and galvanized steel plates. Unlike conventional strengthening methods, this technique replaces traditional transverse stirrups with steel sheets, providing enhanced confinement and ductility.

Flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular beams with wood chip aggregate

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular (CFST) beams with partial replacement of aggregates by wood chips (0%–25%) through experimental and numerical analysis. This study is novel in that it experimentally and numerically investigates the flexural behavior of CFST beams with partial replacement of ...

Seismic Risk Analysis of Revenue Losses, Gross Regional Product and transportation systems. [PDF]

, 2013
Natural threats like earthquakes, hurricanes or tsunamis have shown seri- ous impacts on communities. In the past, major earthquakes in the United States like Loma Prieta 1989, Northridge 1994, or recent events in Italy like L’Aquila 2009 or Emilia 2012 ...

Hurricane‐induced risk contagion in commercial real estate: Evidence from Hurricane Sandy

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines how hurricane‐induced destruction affects the prices of nearby undamaged commercial real estate properties, using Hurricane Sandy as a natural experiment. Using Real Capital Analytics transaction records spatially merged with Federal Emergency Management Agency building‐level damage data, we empirically employ a difference ...
