Spectrum-to-spectrum methods for the generation of elastic floor acceleration spectra [PDF]
In seismic codes, the acceleration demand of nonstructural components is commonly expressed in terms of floor response spectra and estimated by means of simple predictive equations.

Response modification factor of eccentrically braced frames with reduced beam section [PDF]
Eccentrically braced frames are one of the most proper lateral resisting systems in seismic areas. The link beam in an eccentrically braced frame acts like a structural fuse, which is able to sustain large plastic shear or flexural deformations ...

Time-history response analysis on buffeting vibrations of tall buildings
This paper deals with the resistance of buildings to strong winds in the light of the ultimate strength concept. The structural behavior is limited to the buffeting vibration along the wind direction. The applied method is a direct numerical analysis based on the time history of drag forces which has been measured on scale models in a wind tunnel.First,
