Abstract: We used waveforms from the 2018 MW 7.1 Anchorage earthquake and six selected aftershocks, ranging from MW 4.2 to 5.7, to quantify site properties including shear-wave velocity profile, predominant frequencies, borehole ...

Abstract: Recent advances in nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures have been based primarily on fiber-based discretization of the member cross section at locations of expected inelastic action. However, the accuracy ...

Abstract: The need to consider only a small number of ground motions combined with the complexities of response sensitivity to both modeling choices and ground motion variability calls for an assessment of current ground motion ...

Abstract: A simple constitutive model for the inelastic response of steel under monotonic and random cyclic loading conditions is developed within the framework of bounding surface plasticity. The particular feature that distinguishes ...
