Investigation of Applicable Seismic Response Modification Factor For Three-Hinge Glulam Tudor Arches Using FEMA P-695
… procedures outlined in FEMA technical document P-695 were implemented on the provided arch designs. Computational models were created using finite elements within OpenSees to accurately depict the behavior of the arch. Incremental dynamic analyses were conducted on each of the provided designs and …

Performance Assessment of Seismic Resistant Steel Structures
… counterparts using a combination of the FEMA P-695 and FEMA P-58 methodologies. Additionally, an innovative modeling assumption is investigated, where moment frames are evaluated with and without the lateral influence of the gravity system. Each system has a unique purpose from the perspective …

Algorithm for Spectral Matching of Earthquake Ground Motions using Wavelets and Broyden Updating
… ten different ground motions, taken from FEMA P-695 (FEMA, 2009), which represent far field, near field-pulse and near field-no pulse earthquake ground motions. A study of compatible wavelet functions was carried out to determine the appropriate wavelet function for the proposed method. The study …

Influence of the Gravity System on the Seismic Performance of Special Steel Moment Frames
… The influence was quantified using the FEMA P-695 methodology. The buildings used for this study were a 2-, 4- and 8-story SMFs taken from the ATC76-1 project where their collapse performance was already evaluated without the gravity system. The main work of this dissertation has been divided …

Seismic Performance Assessment of Wood-Frame Shear Wall Structures
… designed for the development of FEMA P-695 methodology is adapted for the numerical evaluations and a baseline for the variations is established. To study the sensitivity of inherent damping in wood-frame shear wall structures, an extensive literature survey is completed to find the …

An Investigation of the Behavior of Structural Systems with Modeling Uncertainties
… effects were specific to each frame. The FEMA P-695 Methodology provided a framework that defined the static and dynamic analyses performed during the modeling uncertainties studies. However, the Methodology is complex and the analyses are computationally expensive. To expedite the analyses and …

Seismic stability of buckling-restrained braced frames
… been studied before. This study used the FEMA P-695 Methodology to evaluate the response of current U.S. code-based BRBF designs and to study the effect on seismic stability of additional alternatives. In accordance with the Methodology, the collapse performance was evaluated through nonlinear …

Multi-hazard performance of steel moment frame buildings with collapse prevention systems in the central and eastern United States
This dissertation discusses the potential for using a conventional main lateral-force resisting system, combined with the reserve strength in the gravity framing, and or auxiliary collapse-inhibiting mechanisms deployed throughout the building, or enhanced shear tab connections, to provide adequate …
