RISPerformance-Based Seismic Design of Steel Buildings Using Rigidities of Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper develops a performance-based seismic design (PBSD) procedure specifically for steel structures. Several improved steel connections were proposed to eliminate brittle fractures in welds following the Northridge ...

Novel Geomechanics Concepts for Earthquake Excitations Applied in Time Domain
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Novel geomechanics concepts for seismic design satisfying the current performance-based seismic design (PBSD) requirements are presented. Issues related to soil conditions are explicitly addressed. To satisfy the underlying ...
