This paper presents a modification of the modal-based ground motion selection (MGMS)
method for improving the reliability of the nonlinear response time history analysis (NLRHA) …

The forced-based and direct displacement-based methods for seismic design of high-rise
reinforced concrete buildings are applied to design rectangular shear walls of 17-storey …

Accurate seismic evaluation of buildings requires appropriate nonlinear models in order to
capture all possible behaviors of structural elements under different loading conditions. To …

Floor response spectra (FRS) are used to compute the design floor accelerations for seismic
design of acceleration-sensitive non-structural components (NSCs) in a building. In the …

In regions of low or moderate seismicity there may be cases in which a rapid, simplified and
conservative seismic assessment may be sufficient to demonstrate that a building satisfies …

This study attempts to develop new simplified approximate formulas to predict the
fundamental natural periods of vibration (T) for bearing wall systems engaged with special …

A research program has been undertaken to better characterizing the contribution of higher
modes of vibration on the bending moment and shear force demand on cantilevered …

A simplified multi‐degree‐of‐freedom (MDOF) model is developed for estimation of seismic
response of tall wall‐frame structures. By using the continuum technique for the structure …

The focus of this study is estimating inelastic deformations of building frames by conducting
response spectrum analysis. Damping spectra (Rμ–ξ–T spectra) are derived first for SDOF …

To minimize earthquake-induced damages in structures, one of the most reliable ways to
design and construct earthquake-resistant buildings is to utilize reinforced concrete shear …
