RISSpecial Issue on Design and Analysis of Structures with Seismic Damping Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Analytical Modeling, System Identification, and Tracking Performance of Uniaxial Seismic Simulators
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This technical note presents a simplified approach to reproducing historical earthquake records using uniaxial seismic simulators. Although complex, real-time feedback control systems may be utilized to control such ...
Experimental Verification of Seismic Response of Building Frame with Adaptive Sliding Base-Isolation System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper presented herein investigates the ability of an adaptive seismic isolation system to protect structures subjected to disparate earthquake ground motions. The isolation system consists of sliding isolation bearings ...
Application of Energy Dissipation Devices for Seismic Protection of Soft-Story Wood-Frame Buildings in Accordance with FEMA Guidelines
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recent earthquakes have demonstrated the vulnerability of soft-story wood buildings. A performance-based retrofit option focusing on stiffening/strengthening only the soft ground story, as regulated by FEMA guidelines, was ...

Centrifuge Modeling of Earthquake Effects on Buried High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Pipelines Crossing Fault Zones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Permanent ground deformation is a severe hazard for continuous buried pipelines. This technical paper presents results from four centrifuge tests designed to investigate the influence of pipe-fault orientation on pipe ...
Experimental Seismic Behavior of a Full-Scale Four-Story Soft-Story Wood-Frame Building with Retrofits. II: Shake Table Test Results
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soft-story wood-frame buildings have been recognized as a disaster preparedness problem for decades. The majority of these buildings were constructed from the 1920s to the 1960s and are prone to collapse during moderate ...
