Abstract: A detailed seismic performance assessment for super high-rise buildings is essential for decision-making on postearthquake repair, maintenance, and reoccupation. This paper proposes a probabilistic assessment framework for ...

Abstract: Long-period ground motions from large-magnitude distant earthquakes can cause serious damage to high-rise buildings, even to those located in intraplate urban areas. Real-time monitoring and postearthquake performance ...

Abstract: This study presents a procedure for simulating traffic loads for long-span suspension bridges based on the data recorded by the weigh-in-motion (WIM) system and the agent-based traffic flow microsimulation. The past traffic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a computationally efficient method for the conditional simulation of nonstationary fluctuating wind speeds for the buffeting analysis of long-span bridges. The fluctuating wind speeds, with part of their ...

Abstract: Long-period ground motions from large-magnitude distant earthquakes can cause serious damage to high-rise buildings, even to those located in intraplate urban areas. Real-time monitoring and postearthquake performance ...

Abstract: Nonstationary extreme winds are responsible for many structural damages. However, empirical models are not available for these winds, especially for fluctuations, mainly due to the difficulties in mathematical treatments. ...

Abstract: To accurately calculate stress responses and evaluate fatigue damage of the critical structural members/joints of a long-span cable-stayed bridge, a multiscale finite-element (FE) model of the bridge has been developed by ...

Abstract: This paper investigates statistical errors in the simulation of spatially varying seismic ground motions modeled by evolutionary Gaussian vector processes and simulated by the spectral representation method (SRM). Formulas ...
