Guidelines for Electrical Transmission Line Structural Loading
This manual presents detailed guidelines and procedures for developing transmission line structure loads. It is divided into four sections. The first section is concerned with the load/strength...
Guideline for Structural Condition Assessment of Existing Buildings
Changing economic conditions, concerns for historic preservation, emphasis on fully utilizing conveniently located structures, space shortages, and increasing cost of materials and products...

Freudenthal Lecture Developments in Structural Reliability
Rather than reviewing the details of developments in structural reliability theory and its implementation over the last few decades, more recent and more relevant reliability issues are...
Identification of Critical Load Distributions for Wind Loading
For practical application as well as for sophisticated investigations, the time dependent stochastic wind process has to be simplified in terms of input data to the calculation. Usually,...
Wind Loads on Large Broadcasting Antennas: Records and Elaborations
Alternative estimations of the 50-year gust winds from the data available in typical Italian sites of broadcasting antennas are summarized and compared with the design winds suggested...
Towards Improved Loading Model for Design of Offshore Structures
The study presented in this paper uses geometries of different offshore platforms to quantify the effects of uncertainties in design calculations. The effect of wave directionality and...
Loading Uncertainties in Extreme Waves
Uncertainties associated with extreme base shear forces and extreme overturning moments are estimated for an idealized eight-legged jacket platform. The structure is assumed to respond...
Minimum Lifetime Cost Design of Coastal Structures?A Proposal of Design Method for Rubble Sloping Breakwaters
The authors propose herein a rational design method for coastal structures with consideration for their repairs. The special characteristics of the proposal are that a certain extent of...
The Concept of the New Waterway Storm Surge Barrier: Reliability as an Integral Part of a Nation's Sea Water Defense System
In the southwest of the Netherlands a storm surge barrier is to be built in the waterway that gives access to the port of Rotterdam. Strict design conditions ensure that only very slight...
Development of Seismic Hazards Data Base
A seismic hazards data base has been developed as a research tool for the engineering and seismology communities. The data base, which is still growing, currently contains information...
Graphic Demonstration of Seismic Hazards Data Base
A seismic hazards data base has been developed as a research tool for the engineering and seismology communities. The data base presently holds five categories of data, the largest of...
Near-Field Differential Ground Displacement
An analytical model for the development of differential ground motions in the vicinity of a vertical, strike-slip fault is presented. The model considers a uniform, kinematic source model,...
Automated Damage-Controlled Design of RC Buildings
This paper presents an automated damage-controlled design method, which aims for uniform damage distribution throughout the entire building frame while respecting the strong-column weak-beam...
Response Modification Factors for Buildings and Bridges
Response Modification Factors (RMF) are often used for the seismic design and the safety evaluation of buildings and bridges. The advantage of using RMF is to account for the nonlinear...
