Abstract: This work proposes an efficient identification scheme for simultaneous input and parameter estimation of the hysteretic systems. For this purpose, a quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC)-simulation-based approach is adopted, where the ...

Abstract: The traditional Assam-type wooden house is one of the very few housing systems in India that has performed exceptionally well during past earthquakes. Due to the high seismicity of the northeastern region of India, local ...

Abstract: Traditional Assam-type wooden houses are a popular housing system in the northeastern Himalayan region of India. Such houses have performed exceptionally well in previous earthquakes. An experimental study on the frames ...

Abstract: The lateral load-deformation capacity of any structure is the most important aspect of seismic design. The lateral capacity of a shear building is highly dependent on the lateral load-deformation capacity of the columns, ...
