Establishing suitable probabilistic seismic demand models (PSDMs) is a key part of the
probabilistic performance-based method. Intensity measures (IMs) are used as a connection …

Purpose The objective of the study is to examine the response of reinforced concrete (RC)
structures subjected to Near-Fault Ground Motions (NFGM) and highlight the importance of …

The continuous collision of the Eurasian plate and the Indian plate has resulted in several
earthquakes in the Himalayan region. The 6.9 Mw 2011 Sikkim earthquake, which caused …

Near-fault earthquakes with forward-directivity effects contain high energy and large
amplitude velocity pulses. The nearby structures can be severely damaged by such pulses …

Recently, there has been a push for the adoption of pre-fabricated modular units in
constructing low to high-rise buildings mainly due to the reduction of material waste and …

Quantifying the near-fault effect and establishing a reasonable model of near-fault pulse-like
ground motions are particularly important for seismic design of structures in near-fault …

Asymmetric base-isolated structures installed on lead rubber bearings (LRBs) and
laminated rubber bearings (LNRs) may suffer severe torsion due to the presence of the …

Aiming at the rock burst prevention in coal mines, this study argue that a rock burst is the
instability of the coal mass deformation system with the infinite deformation response …

Modular timber-hybrid techniques offer a range of benefits for the construction process,
including flexibility, adaptability, and deconstruction. It results in cleaner and more efficient …

SUMÁRIO A construção modular constitui um método contemporâneo, lógico e enriquecido
