Abstract: An algorithm has been developed for the stable analysis of reinforced‐concrete cross sections of arbitrary shape. The algorithm is based on a modified event‐to‐event scheme and is free of the convergence problems that have ...

Abstract: Fourway is a simple graphical tool for estimating the conditional dependence of decision variables involved in the seismic design process on the earthquake intensity. The tool was formulated for use with the Pacific ...

Abstract: Performance-based earthquake engineering aims to quantify performance of facilities using metrics that are of immediate use to both engineers and stakeholders. A rigorous yet practical implementation of a performance-based ...
