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: 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: 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 ...

Abstract: Global positioning system (GPS) technology is an emerging tool for measuring and monitoring both static and dynamic displacement responses of large civil engineering structures to gust winds. The accuracy of dynamic ...

Abstract: Typhoon winds near the external eye wall of a strong typhoon are extremely nonstationary and disastrous due to its vortex and convective origin as well as its high wind speeds. However, typhoon-induced nonstationary responses ...
