RISSimplified Modal Pushover Analysis to Estimate First- and Higher-Mode Force Demands for Design of Strongback-Braced Frames
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Strongback-braced frames employ an essentially elastic truss, or strongback, that defines an elastic load path to redistribute seismic demands and mitigate the formation of story mechanisms. However, unlike the forces from ...
Fragility and Recovery Models for Energy, Water, and Wastewater Systems for Seismic Regional Risk and Resilience Assessment: State-of-the-Art Review and Database
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Fragility functions and recovery models are often used to assess lifeline systems subjected to extreme hazards. However, even though many databases for fragility and recovery models exist for essential buildings and ...
Experimental and Numerical Simulation of a Three-Story Mass Timber Building with a Pivoting Wall and Buckling-Restrained Boundary Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Steel energy dissipators can be combined with mass timber in integrated seismic lateral force–resisting systems to achieve designs with enhanced seismic performance and sustainability benefits. Examples of such integration ...
