Past earthquakes experience regarding frame structures with slender braces, ie tension-only
concentrically braced frames, has demonstrated poor seismic behavior of these systems. In …

Among the procedures available for the seismic analysis of structures, pushover analysis is
one of the most frequently used methods by structural engineers. An adequate modelling of …

This is a pushover analysis for pile‐supported wharves considering the dynamic
magnification factors due to torsional effects. The piles seismic design by deterministic …

Using vertical links in eccentric braced frames is one of the best passive structural control
approaches due to its effectiveness and practicality advantages. However, in spite of the …

The aim of this paper is to carry out a nonlinear static analysis using a case study of a pile-
supported wharf in a new oil tankers port. The seismic activity in this area is very intense with …

Performance analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings during past earthquakes has
shown that irregular distribution of mass, stiffness, and strength may cause severe damage …

In the tunnel form (box‐type) structural system, walls arrangement and mass distribution
have important effect on the interactions of thinner shear walls and slab configurations. In …

The maximum displacement responses under the seismic motions are usually considered
as an indicator for damage evaluation. It is obvious that appropriate selection of drifts …

La obtención de resultados precisos en un análisis estático no lineal requiere una
adecuada modelización de las rótulas plásticas generadas en la estructura, para lo que …

One of the main components for developing regional seismic risk models is the fragility
functions of common building types. Due to the differences between the national design …
