Dynamic substructuring of complex hybrid systems based on time-integration, model reduction and model identification techniques
Hybrid Simulation with Dynamic Substructuring (HSDS) is a mixed numerical/- experimental simulation techniques. In detail, HSDS combines a Physical Substructure(PS) -the most critical subpart- with a Numerical Substructure (NS), and a compliant time integration process calculates the overall …

Forecasting earthquake losses in port systems
… in significant business interruption losses for port stakeholders. Current risk management practices only focus on the effect of seismic hazards on individual port structures. However, damage and downtime of these structures has a significant impact on the overall port system's ship handling …

Cracking of reinforced concrete structural walls subjected to cyclic loading
… and quantifiably accurate computational tools for predicting the behavior of concrete structures is the lack of comprehensive and dense test data from more realistic experiments. The expression “comprehensive and dense” is being used to describe the collection of full-field strains, …

Impact of complex system behavior on seismic assessment of RC bridges
The damage to reinforced concrete (RC) bridges observed in the 1971 San Fernando, 1994 Northridge, and 1995 Kobe earthquakes prompted significant research efforts within the earthquake engineering community. Strides were made in capturing the true inelastic seismic response of RC bridge piers, and …

Performance-based seismic retrofit (PBSR) methodology for multi-story buildings with full-scale experimental validation
Recent earthquakes such as Loma Prieta (1989) and Northridge (1994) in California have highlighted the poor performance of one class of existing buildings. Many older buildings were designed prior to the implementation of modern seismic design codes. Although building codes have clearly evolved, …

An integrated earthquake impact assessment system
This dissertation presents a methodology for the refined, reliable, integrated and versatile assessment of the impact of earthquakes on civil infrastructure systems by using free-field and structural instrumentation as well as hybrid simulation. The methodology is presented through a …
