RISExperimental and Numerical Characterization of Monotonic and Cyclic Performance of Cross-Laminated Timber Dowel-Type Connections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An immeasurable amount of greenhouse gas emissions during the process of steel purification and concrete production has attracted environmentally friendly engineers’ attention to extend and enhance the use of wood as a ...
Assessing Modeling Complexities on the Seismic Performance of an Instrumented Short-Period Hospital
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Low-rise, short-period buildings dominate the construction in the United States including residential, recreational, and critical, including hospital, facilities. Previous analytical studies have indicated that these ...
Development of Building Restoration Functions for Use in Community Recovery Planning to Tornadoes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Postdisaster community scale recovery and resilience assessments have gained interest in the United States and around the world following natural and human-made disasters. Tornadoes are one of the most devastating natural ...
Selection of Residential Building Design Requirements to Achieve Community Functionality Goals under Tornado Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An essential aspect of community disaster recovery planning is understanding the recovery process and developing appropriate probability-based recovery simulation tools to account for interdependent systems of lifeline ...
Achieving Functional Recovery through Seismic Retrofit of Existing Buildings: Barriers and Opportunities
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Earthquakes can cause extensive damage to buildings, with lengthy impacts in terms of community recovery. As a result, there is a growing interest in design approaches and standards for buildings that ensure postearthquake ...
Verification and Validation of Agent-Based Models for Resilience Analysis and Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Natural hazards can inflict significant damage on communities. It may take a long time for hazard-stricken communities to recover from the losses induced by natural hazards. The concept of community resilience has received ...
