E‐Defense, which is operated by the Japanese National Research Institute for Earth
Science and Disaster Resilience, currently contains the world's largest 3‐dimensional …

Fragility functions are commonly used in performance‐based earthquake engineering for
predicting the damage state of a structure subjected to an earthquake. This process often …

This work presented the experimental and numerical evaluation of the seismic and collapse
behavior of Japanese existing high-rise steel buildings subjected to long-period ground …

In February 2023, shaking table tests on a full-scale 10-story steel building was conducted at
the E-Defense facility to advance seismic structural techniques and validate numerical …

This research is aimed at investigating the elastic buckling strength of I-beam cantilevers. In
the section classification and in the design both, the understanding of the load that the beam …

Elastoplastic local buckling of beams is a phenomenon that can potentially lead to the
collapse of structures. It has been analysed in previous attempts; however, this research …

Steel moment frame buildings face severe collapse potentials when subjected to
earthquakes beyond the design level. Reliable numerical modeling of steel moment frames …

This research proposes a novel method of Mid-Storey Pin Moment-Resisting Frames'(MSP
MRFs) ultimate capacity estimation. Shell and solid numerical models with initial …

This paper verifies the feasibility of the proposed system identification methods by utilizing
shaking table tests of a full‐scale four‐story steel building at E‐Defense in Japan. The …

There have been several studies on analyses using finely meshed finite‐element (FE)
models to understand in detail the behaviors of buildings during severe earthquakes. The …
