RISReliability-Based Design of Force-Controlled Components in Rocking Steel-Braced Frames
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Despite the importance of force-controlled components, the implications of their failure to the overall performance of controlled rocking steel braced frames (CRSBFs) have not been examined in prior studies. This paper ...
Development and Utilization of a Database of Infilled Frame Experiments for Numerical Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Reliable analytical and empirical models of the force-deformation parameters used to characterize the nonlinear behavior of masonry panels are essential to simulating the seismic response of infilled reinforced concrete ...
Macroscopic Model for Spatial Timber Plate Structures with Integral Mechanical Attachments
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The use of integral mechanical attachments (IMAs) in spatial free-form timber plate structures has been revitalized by the production of engineered boards and recent developments in digital fabrication and computer-aided ...
Quantifying Hybrid Failure Modes of Unreinforced Masonry Walls through Experimental Data Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Failure mode identification in unreinforced masonry (URM) walls is a challenging task because of the presence of multiple damage mechanisms, including so-called hybrid modes. This paper employed a novel application of ...
Framework for Incorporating Probabilistic Building Performance in the Assessment of Community Seismic Resilience
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A framework is presented for incorporating probabilistic building performance limit states in the assessment of community resilience to earthquakes. The limit states are defined on the basis of their implications to ...

Abstract: A framework is presented for incorporating probabilistic building performance limit states in the assessment of community resilience to earthquakes. The limit states are defined on the basis of their implications to ...
Community of Practice for Modeling Disaster Recovery
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The goal of this paper is to facilitate a community of practice for disaster recovery modeling. This community should include hazard and disaster researchers without modeling experience and modelers with no experience in ...
Hindcasting the Functional Loss and Restoration of the Napa Water System Following the 2014 Earthquake Using Discrete-Event Simulation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Models that simulate postearthquake functional loss and restoration of water distribution systems support the development and implementation of more informed resilience-enhancing strategies. This study uses pipe damage, ...
Development of a Generalized Cross-Building Structural Response Reconstruction Model Using Strong Motion Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Models for reconstructing seismic response demands across multiple buildings can aid in cluster-level rapid postearthquake damage assessment. Response demands from 188 buildings affected by 25 earthquakes were used to ...
