Stochastic Seismic Performance Evaluation of Buildings
A method is presented for determining the probabilities that a structure will sustain various levels of damage or become unsafe due to earthquake loading during its lifetime. Uncertainties in the dynamic analysis associated with both the loading and the prediction of the structural response are …

Seismic performance evaluation of full-scale mass timber structures: comparative insights from tall and mid-rise shake table test programs
… for tall and mid-rise wood buildings in high seismic regions, with one focusing on structural and non-structural design for resilience and the other adding considerations for sustainability. Over the past decade, advances in materials, manufacturing, components, and building systems have …

IMAGE-BASED MODELING AND PREDICTION OF NON-STATIONARY GROUND MOTIONS
Nonlinear dynamic analysis is a required step in seismic performance evaluation of many structures. Performing such an analysis requires input ground motions, which are often obtained through simulations, due to the lack of sufficient records representing a given scenario. As seismic ground motions …

Seismic Behavior of Pile -Supported Bridges
The presented modeling technique is applied for seismic analysis of an existing truss-arch bridge spanning across the Mississippi River in southern Illinois (the Cairo Bridge). The nonlinear time-history analysis is performed using input motions obtained from ground response analysis of bedrock …

Performance evaluation of innovative toggle brace damper for flexible structure seismic upgrade
… to mitigate structural response to wind and seismic excitation. Motion amplification devices are designed to amplify a small interstory drift to intensify the stroke of the dampers attached. The efficiency of such devices relies on their geometric configurations in addition to the stiffness …

Seismic Performance Assessment of Wood-Frame Shear Wall Structures
… of this dissertation is to evaluate the seismic performance of a wide range of wood-frame shear wall building designs under the influence of modeling and analysis parameter variations. The first step towards the broad objective of seismic performance evaluation is to identify the …

Investigation of Modular Cross-Laminated Timber Rocking Walls and Rocking Wall -- Light-Frame Shear Wall Dual Systems for Seismic Resilience
This dissertation focuses on the development, seismic performance evaluation, and design of post-tensioned cross-laminated timber rocking walls (PT-CLT-RW) for resilient wood construction. This research focuses on experimental, analytical, and numerical investigations into PT-CLT-RW systems, both …
