An Investigation of the Behavior of Structural Systems with Modeling Uncertainties
… Despite the progress toward a probabilistic framework, the variability in structural analysis results due to modeling techniques has not been considered. This work investigates the uncertainty associated with modeling geometric nonlinearities and Rayleigh damping models on the response of …

Impacts of lateral code changes associated with the 2006 International Building Code and the 2008 California Building Code
… country. Through a comparison of the design of a steel moment-resisting frame low-rise structure, it was determined that the new code will result in design values that differ from those resulting from the previous codes. In order to compare the relevant codes in different areas of the country, …

Semi-active control of elastic and inelastic building structures with piezoelectric friction dampers
… strategy was applied to a 20-story, inelastic, steel moment-resisting frame building to study its seismic effectiveness under four ground motion records. For damper placement in practical applications, a sub-optimal and heuristic procedure was developed to distribute PFDs on the structure. The …

An integrated earthquake impact assessment system
… to as NEES Integrated Seismic Risk Assessment Framework (NISRAF). The software tool combines all necessary components in order to obtain the most reliable earthquake impact assessment results possible. The components are (i) hybrid simulation, (ii) free-field and (iii) structural sensor …

Modeling and Behavior of the Beam/Column Joint Region of Steel Moment Resisting Frames
… and yielding on the stiffness and strength of steel moment resisting frames (SMRF) has been the topic of numerous papers over the past thirty years. When properly detailed, the PZ is an excellent source of energy dissipation, even under large inelastic deformations. Due to these large inelastic …

Numerical and experimental methods for seismic risk assessment of civil and industrial structures
… the performance-based earthquake engineering framework. Particular attention is paid to component resistance to leakage and loss of containment (LoC) even though several different limit states are investigated. The LNG tank, support structures and pipework, including elbows and flanges, are …
