Abstract: The coupling behavior in the structural response caused by the multicomponents of ground motions in friction pendulum base-isolated buildings can change the response of nonstructural contents. This research investigates ...

Abstract: Methods that identify structural component stiffness degradation by pre- and postevent low amplitude vibration measurements, based on a linear time-invariant (LTI) system model, are conceptually justified by examining the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a unique structural reliability estimation method incorporating structural parameter identification results based on the seismic response measurement. In the shaking table test, a three-bent concrete ...
