RISPredictive Model for Hurricane Wind Hazard under Changing Climate Conditions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Hurricanes are among the most destructive and costly extreme weather events. The intensity of future hurricanes is generally expected to increase due to climate change effects. In this work, a simulation method based on a ...
Effects of Transverse Steel on the Axial-Compression Strength of FRP-Confined Reinforced Concrete Columns Based on a Numerical Parametric Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) columns can be effectively rehabilitated or strengthened by externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wraps, which can improve the axial load capacity and ductility of these columns through ...
New Constitutive Model for Interface Elements in Finite-Element Modeling of Masonry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new interface element constitutive model is proposed in this study for analyzing masonry using the simplified micromodeling (SMM) approach, in which mortar and two unit–mortar interfaces are lumped into a zero-thickness ...

Reliability-Based Calibration of New Design Procedure for Reinforced Concrete Columns under Simultaneous Confinement by Fiber-Reinforced Polymers and Steel
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: External confinement of reinforced concrete (RC) columns with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jackets and/or wraps is a technique extensively used for strengthening and retrofit of structurally deficient columns. The ...
Performance-Based Hurricane Engineering under Changing Climate Conditions: General Framework and Performance of Single-Family Houses in the US
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The US Gulf and Atlantic coasts are often struck by severe hurricanes that cause massive economic and life losses. Climate change and structural aging are expected to exacerbate the risk associated with hurricane hazards. ...
Performance-Based Comparison of Different Storm Mitigation Techniques for Residential Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent years, severe hurricanes have caused enormous economic losses for society and placed tremendous burden on the insurance industry. As the number of residential buildings in hurricane prone regions continues to ...

Multihazard Interaction Effects on the Performance of Low-Rise Wood-Frame Housing in Hurricane-Prone Regions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hurricanes represent multihazard events that include wind, windborne debris, storm surge, and rainfall hazards. Conventional risk analysis does not consider the interaction between these multiple hazards and treats each ...
Structural Reliability Applications of Nonstationary Spectral Characteristics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents new closed-form analytical approximations to the first-passage problem in structural reliability by using the exact closed-form solutions for the spectral characteristics of nonstationary random processes. ...
