Abstract: An analytical model is developed that predicts the out‐of‐plane seismic behavior of reinforced masonry walls. The formulation and implementation of the model are briefly described. The model is validated by comparing the ...

Abstract: Results of a parametric study of the effects of vertical motions on the seismic response of typical highway bridges are presented. Six different bridges covering a variety of types and geometry are subjected to a suite of ...

Abstract: Chapter 17, “Seismic Design Requirements for Seismically Isolated Structures,” in the 2016 edition of the ASCE 7 Standard, Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, includes major ...

Abstract: In October 1990, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) adopted

Abstract: The paper describes the design and testing of a series of single‐story masonry houses in a research program carried out at the University of California, Berkeley, Earthquake Engineering Research Center (EERC), with funding ...

Abstract: This paper describes the performance of a series of single‐story masonry houses observed during a shaking table test program carried out at the University of California Earthquake Engineering Research Center (EERC), under ...
