The Performance of Irregular Building Structures Using Pushover Analysis
Logic, 2020 High-rise buildings are at risk of collapse due to the earthquake. One method for analyzing earthquake loads is Pushover. Pushover is a non-linear static analysis to determine the behavior of a building collapse.

Public transport use: the 'soft' side of the story
, 2021 This chapter focuses on the role of travel attitudes in explaining the demand for public transport. This chapter considers both the direct effect of attitudes on public transport use and, by means of a structural equation model, also illustrates the indirect effects via the interaction with residential location choices, vehicle ownership and activity ...

Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures, 2021 Well-known problem with seismic design codes is that it does not take into account the rotational earthquake components. Only Eurocode 8, in Part 6, offers response spectra of rotational accelerations for the seismic design of slender and tall structures

Seismic performance of masonry-infilled RC frames [PDF]
Urbanism. Arhitectura. Constructii, 2016 The masonry infill of RC frames structures is generally considered as non-structural. The design of the concrete frames is often made by ignoring the influence of the masonry infill, which is only accounted for its mass.

Hybrid systems to enhance the seismic performance of steel soft-story structures
Budownictwo i ArchitekturaRecent global seismic events have shown that most destroyed structures were irregularly designed, especially those with a soft story. A “soft story” refers to a building floor significantly weaker or more flexible than the others, often because of large
