Abstract A strong earthquake (Mw= 7.1) hit Mexico City at 13: 14 local time on September
19, 2017. The earthquake severely damaged more than 600 buildings and more than 1000 …

A parametric study was devoted to evaluate, using static nonlinear analyses (pushover),
global seismic design parameters for low to medium rise regular reinforced concrete …

Even though the intense seismic activity in Mexico and the great human and material losses
produced in the country during the September 19th, 1985 and 2017 earthquakes, the use of …

En este trabajo los autores presentan los resultados de un estudio paramétrico, efectuados
mediante análisis estáticos no lineales (pushover), de marcos de concreto reforzado con …

A parametric study of buildings retrofitted with metallic yielding energy dissipation devices
built on soft soil sites is presented. Buildings with 6, 15 and 30 stories are analyzed as …

Dampers are used to control response of structure in recent years. Seismic response is
reduced by adding energy dissipation capacity to the building. Dampers are provided to …

In this paper the authors summarize the results of a parametric study devoted to evaluate,
using static nonlinear analyses (pushover), the seismic behavior of low to medium rise …

Passive control devices are currently used in several countries to improve the seismic
response of structures. These novel technologies include energy dissipating systems to …

Energy dissipation devices are continuously implemented in several buildings and bridges
around the world. The dynamic characteristics of the strong motions in soft soil sites make …

In this paper the authors summarize the results obtained, from static nonlinear analyses
(pushover), for reinforced concrete intermediate moment-resisting frames (RC-IMRFs) …
