Abstract: The present study evaluates the performance of two hillside building configurations, i.e., split foundation (SF) and step-back (SB), commonly observed in the seismically active Indian Himalayan region, under blast and ...

Abstract: Seismic performance of elevated liquid storage tanks, considering soil–structure interaction (SSI), is investigated. The effects of considering SSI on the peak seismic responses, as well as on the seismic fragility of ...

Abstract: Effects of different structural configurations, member orientations and standoff distances on blast-induced failure of steel frame buildings are investigated through development of fragility curves. Three steel frame ...
