Seismic Vulnerability Evaluation in Japan
The state of the art in Japan is reviewed on the evaluation of the seismic capacity of existing low- to mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings, taking into account the different resistance...

Overview of Published Documents for the Evaluation of Existing Buildings
Presently, the most common procedure used by engineers to evaluate existing buildings is probably a code approach that was developed for the design of new construction. Many engineering...

Comparison of Slitted and Non-Slitted R. C. Shear Walls With Boundary Elements Under Horizontal Forces
This paper compares the differences of aseismic behaviours between slitted and non-slitted shear walls under horizontal forces. There are 5 specimens for slitted shear walls and another...

Nonlinear Analysis for the Aseismic Strength of Highrise Steel Frame With Semi-Rigid Joints by Pseudo-Elastic Approach
This paper suggests that the direct stiffness method is still useful in dealing with the nonlinear analysis for the aseismic capacity of highrise steel frame while the Pseudo-elastic approach...

Seismic Repair, Restoration and/or Upgrading of Existing Buildings
The ultimate goal of this paper is to discuss the selection of the most efficient (optimal) strategies and techniques for upgrading an existing building. To achieve this goal, it was considered...

Equating Dynamic Analysis to Static Code Provisions
Building codes generally prescribe seismic design provisions that include a static lateral force procedure that can easily be combined with the gravity loads to design the structural elements....

Development of Inelastic Reduction Factors to Provide an Elastic Design Procedure
R factor values can only be rationally selected when they are based on in part nonlinear inelastic dynamic analyses of building system types. However, it is informative to discuss the...

Response of Concrete Buildings to Lateral Forces
ACI-ASCE Committee 442 (Response of Concrete Buildings to Lateral Forces) has just issued its report (ACI-ASCE 442 1988a). In that Report, the performance of reinforced concrete buildings...

Inelastic Seismic Design of Concrete Structures
This paper provides an overview of the state-of-the-art publication on the same subject under preparation by ASCE-ACI Committee 442's Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Inelastic Response...

Inelastic Seismic Analysis of Concrete Buildings
The important inelastic analysis techniques that are suitable for concrete buildings subjected to earthquakes are summarized. Basic principles and practical modeling guidelines are given...

Bermed Shelters Subjected to Accidental Explosions
An investigation of the adequacy of two competing shelter designs to protect the occupants from an accidental explosion in a nearby shelter is described. Two bermed shelters, one of rectangular...

Residual Capacity of Explosively Damaged Reinforced Concrete Columns
The results of load tests on explosively damaged reinforced concrete columns are presented. The method used to correlate an ultimate strength, laminar type of reinforced concrete analysis...

Structural Resistance of Slabs for Blast Loading
Results from a series of static tests on one-way reinforced concrete slabs are summarized. The slabs were loaded with a uniform pressure and tested to large deflections. Parameters varied...

Reevaluation of Reinforced Concrete Slabs Subjected to Blast Effects
Failures in reinforced concrete shallow-buried structures subjected to the effects of severe dynamic loads are reevaluated by employing a modified Timoshenko beam formulation which includes...

SDOF Structural Response Model Accounting for SSI
This paper outlines the theory associated with single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structural response models which account for soil-structure interaction (SSI) and evaluates the performance...

Tension Leg Platform
a State of the Art Review
Prepared by the Task Group on Compliant Offshore Platforms of ASCE. This report considers the analysis and design of tension leg platforms (TLPs),...

Influence of Geologic Development on Horizontal Stress in Soil
Geologic history commonly controls the stress in natural soils, so that an understanding of the geology allows an assessment of the horizontal stress. This paper describes mechanistically...

Screw Plate Test for Drained and Undrained Soil Parameters
This paper describes a screw plate test device developed with a capability to measure the generation and dissipation of excess pore water pressure during testing in cohesive soils. The...

Power Pole Foundations in Reclaimed Mining Area
In central Florida, where strip mining for phosphate ore is a primary industry, street surfaces often become rolling because of differential settlement, and electrical transmission poles...

Jet Grouting to Construct a Soilcrete Wall Using a Twin Stem System
An existing coal loading pier located in Norfolk, Virginia was completed in 1961 for the purpose of loading ocean going ships. It was determined that dredging adjacent to the pier would...
