Seismic Evaluation of Welded Moment-resisting Connections
… for welding beam flanges to the column flange in seismic areas. New Zealand’s steel design standard is the only standard that allows using fillet welds for the fabrication of welded connections in high seismic zones. However, NZS 3404 standard employs an overstrength factor in designing of fillet …

Seismic Evaluation and Performance Enhancement of Industrial Storage Racks
… themselves may be adequately designed for seismic effect, the rack performance also significantly impacts the seismic risk to society both in terms of life-safety and economic losses. The seismic behavior of industrial storage racks is fundamentally different than typical civil engineering …

Seismic Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Columns and Collapse of Buildings
… number of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in seismically active areas of the world that are not designed and constructed in accordance with modern seismic design provisions. These buildings are vulnerable to severe damage or collapse due to their low lateral displacement capacity and rapid …

Seismic evaluation of the U3ax/bl landfill in the Area 3 Rwms, Nevada Test Site, Nevada
A site evaluation, a seismic hazard analysis and a site response analysis were performed for the U3ax/b1 landfill which is located within the Area 3 Radioactive Waste Management Site of the Nevada Test Site. The site evaluation included application of the Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves method …

Seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry buildings in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood
This thesis presents a seismic evaluation of the unreinforced masonry buildings in Boston Massachusetts's historical Back Bay neighborhood. This Boston district, famous for its rows of Victorian brownstone residences is considered to be one of the best preserved examples of 19 'h century urban …

Seismic Expressions of Paleokarst
… resources. This dissertation examines worldwide seismic expression of paleokarst; and specifically, the characterization of paleokarst reservoirs developed across the Cherokee Platform, and in the Arkoma Basin, Oklahoma. </p> <p>Worldwide subsurface paleokarst formations are of Precambrian to …

Multiple earthquake effects on degrading reinforced concrete structures
… aftershock. Limited research has addressed the seismic behavior of structures subjected to multiple earthquakes. Repeated shaking induces accumulated damage to structures that affects their level of stiffness and strength and hence their response. Given the complexity of depicting the degrading …

Determining seismic response of mid-rise building frames considering dynamic soil-structure interaction
… to the ground surface. Based on the fact that seismic waves pass through kilometres of bedrock and usually less than 100 meters of soil, soil layers play a significant role in assigning the characteristics of the ground surface movement. When the ground is stiff enough, the dynamic response of …

Modeling the post shear failure behavior of reinforced concrete columns
… induced collapse have been constructed in seismic zones prior to the 1970s. A major contributor to building collapse is the loss of axial load carrying capacity in non-seismically detailed columns. Experimental investigations have shown that non-seismically detailed columns will only …
