RISCorrelation of Deformation Demands with Ground Motion Intensity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A comprehensive study has been carried out to investigate the correlation between maximum interstory drift demand of frame structures and a number of widely used ground motion intensity parameters. Nonlinear time–history ...
Vulnerability Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Moment Resisting Frame Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A detailed seismic performance assessment procedure has been developed for reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with masonry infill walls. The procedure is based on member damage functions, in terms of interstory drift ...
Parameters Influencing Performance of Elastomeric Bearings at Low Temperatures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experimental research was conducted to investigate the performance of elastomeric bridge bearings at low temperatures. Full-size natural rubber and neoprene bearings were tested by specially designed test setups inside a ...
Evaluation of Elastomeric Bearing Performance at Low Temperatures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recent studies on elastomeric bearings led to changes in the design specifications, which tend to indicate that bearings fabricated in the past, would fail the current test requirements. This is contrary to the fact that ...
Evaluation of Low-Temperature Test Methods for Elastomeric Bridge Bearings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Elastomeric bearings have had an exemplary performance record over the past 40 years. Recently, increased testing requirements have been imposed that now make the testing of elastomeric bearings one of the major costs in ...
Spectral Ground Motion Intensity Based on Capacity and Period Elongation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ground motion intensity parameters are used to express the relationship between expected structural damage and the seismic forces imposed. The graphical representation of damage probability as a function of ground motion ...
Effect of Wall Size on the Rotation Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Structural Walls
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The limiting deformations of RC members used in seismic design and assessment are mainly based on experimental measurements, for which the lack of structural wall tests of large sizes restricts our knowledge on the ...
Service Life Assessment of Existing Highway Bridges with No Planned Regular Inspections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Safety of a highway infrastructure system depends very much on the proper maintenance of bridges. The level of required maintenance is, typically, determined through a series of regular field inspections with the guidance ...
Seismic Performance Assessment of Masonry Buildings Using In Situ Material Properties
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Seismic performance assessment of existing buildings requires the existing material’s properties to be determined as this has a significant influence on the seismic risk. As one of the most common construction type in ...
