Abstract: A fatigue model is presented for plain concrete subjected to random loadings in compression. Hysteretic nonlinear behavior of concrete is incorporated to express the cumulative fatigue damage in terms of the residual plastic ...

Abstract: A new approach to directly convert a target response spectrum to an equivalent power spectral density (PSD) function is presented that requires no numerical iterations. Following the same approximation scheme used in Monte ...

Abstract: A random‐vibration approach for uniaxial and biaxial nonlinear structures is presented based on the stochastic equivalent‐linearization method. By modifying and combining existing modeling techniques, a unified hysteretic ...

Abstract: An analytical modeling scheme is developed to assess the damage‐ability of reinforced concrete buildings experiencing inelastic behavior under earthquake loads. The structural model used to discretize a building is capable ...

Abstract: In the eastern United States, reinforced concrete building structures, medium‐ to high‐rise construction, are usually designed for gravity loads only. A damage evaluation was done in this study for typical structures of ...
