RISReliability Analysis of Steel SMRF and SCBF Structures Considering the Vertical Component of Near-Fault Ground Motions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper assesses the effects of the vertical component of ground motions on steel structures and evaluates the current seismic design provisions of ASCE 7 on the basis of a structural reliability outlook. Eight special ...
Preliminary Design of Moment-Resisting Frame Buildings for Tolerable Financial Loss
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper aims to transfer the current performance-based seismic assessment (PBSA) methodology to engineering practice by providing a preliminary design procedure denoted herein as the preliminary performance-based seismic ...
Structural System Parameter Selection Based on Collapse Potential of Buildings in Earthquakes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper attempts to provide insight into the sensitivity of the collapse capacity of moment-resisting frame and shear wall structures to variation in basic structural parameters, and the choice of an appropriate ground ...
Utilization of Site-Based Simulated Ground Motions for Hazard-Targeted Seismic Demand Estimation: Application for Ordinary Bridges in Southern California
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Current seismic design procedures such as Caltrans Seismic Design Criteria (2013, 2019) are continuously evolving to develop methodologies for conducting seismic analysis to achieve more accurate estimations of the demands ...
Validation of Simulated Earthquake Ground Motions for Displacement Response of Building and Bridge Structures Based on Intensity and Frequency Content Parameters
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper introduces a statistical methodology, titled vector-based intensity-measure method (VBIM), to validate simulated ground motions for the estimation of structural response parameters and demonstrate its application ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Hysteretic Model for Exposed Column–Base Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A hysteretic model formulation is presented for simulation of the cyclic moment-rotation response of exposed column–base (ECB) connections, which are typically used to connect a steel column to a concrete footing in steel ...
Multiphase Performance Assessment of Structural Response to Seismic Excitations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An alternative approach to the traditional method for performance assessment of structural systems is proposed. Denoted herein as the M-PARS method, this new approach is capable of tackling clusters of structural behavior ...
Probabilistic Approach to Account for Soil-Structure Interaction in Seismic Design of Building Structures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel probabilistic approach to account for soil-structure interaction (SSI) in the seismic design of building structures. In this approach, an SSI response modification factor, RSSI, is introduced ...
Metamodeling Framework for Multivariate Probabilistic Prediction of Story-Drift Profile of Multistory Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes a probabilistic metamodeling framework for predicting the joint probability distribution of the interstory drift ratio (IDR) profile of multistory buildings. IDR is an engineering demand parameter that ...
