Energy-Based Evaluation and Remediation of Liquefiable Soils
… ability of a soil to resist liquefaction (i.e., Capacity). This hypothesis is supported by energy-based pore pressure generation models, which functionally relate dissipated energy to residual excess pore pressures. Assuming a linearized hysteretic model, a "simplified" expression is derived for …

Verformungsbasiertes seismisches Bemessungskonzept für Mauerwerksbauten
… behaviour with its post-peak load-carrying capacity. Unfortunately, this procedure implicates that the stability of unreinforced masonry constructions with typical ground plans is no longer provable in earthquake zones 2 and 3 due to the global definition of this factor for masonry, given in …

Detecting and Quantifying Damage in Buildings Using Earthquake Response Data and Capacity Curves
… and nonlinear analysis methods to estimate the capacity of a building to resist the demand of strong earthquake ground motions. Compared to estimates and approximations based on numerical nonlinear analyses, a capacity curve constructed from actual building response data would be a more …

On the Fatigue of Headed Shear Studs in Steel-Concrete Composite Bridge Girders
… bridge performance. </p> <p>To investigate stud capacity, a total of six high-cycle fatigue tests are conducted on stud pushout specimens at low stress ranges and combined with existing experimental data to develop probabilistic S-N fatigue capacity curves. Results from composite push-out …
