Overview of Programs at Sandia National Laboratories
This paper presents on overview of the containment integrity programs at Sandia National Laboratories. Companion papers at this conference give greater details about the construction,...

The Civil Engineering Foundation ? A New Beginning
The United States' construction industry is ailing, experiencing a decline that rivals that of the auto and other US manufacturing industries. How the decline is to be halted...

LRFD for Engineered Wood Construction: Calibration to Current Design
The structural design code for engineered wood construction is evolving to a limit state design basis in which the safety checks are derived from the underlying probability distributions...

An Overview of the U.S. Coordinated Program for Masonry Building Research
The U.S. Coordinated Program for Masonry Building Research is a time-phased set of specific research tasks addressing materials, component and system behavior. The objective of the program...

Use of Experimental Data to Develop Probable Behavior
The intent of this paper is to present results of research that studies the performance of the University of Colorado walls tested by Professor Benson Shing. These walls would be classified...

ATC-23: A Survey of California Hospitals for Earthquake Survivability Potential
In September, 1986 the SSC recommended the completion of a survey of existing acute care hospitals as the first step in a program to bring about the upgrading of all pre-1973 hospitals...

ATC-22: Development of a Handbook for ATC-14
The ATC-22 project is the development of a Handbook for the application of the methodology of ATC-14 for the seismic evaluation of existing buildings. The development of the Handbook itself...

N-Pad?A Three-Dimensional Program for the Analysis of Base-Isolated Structures
N-PAD is a three-dimensional computer program especially written for the analysis of base-isolated structures. The program is designed with the ability to model various types of isolation...

System Identification of Meloland Road Overcrossing
The Meloland Road Overcrossing (MRO) is a two-span reinforced concrete bridge structure located east of El Centro, California, 0.3 mi from the Imperial Fault. The Imperial Valley Earthquake...

Strong-Motion Records from Buildings
Since the establishment of the California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program in 1972, over 90 buildings have been instrumented extensively to measure their response during earthquakes....

Some Significant Records from Instrumented Structures in California?USGS Program
The main objective in seismic instrumentation of structures is to facilitate response studies that lead to improved understanding of the dynamic behavior and the potential for damage to...

Hydrodynamic Interaction Effects in Earthquake Response of Arch Dams
With the aid of earthquake response results it is demonstrated that the following hydrodynamic effects should be considered in the analysis of the earthquake response of concrete arch...

Seismic Evaluation of PG&E Concrete Dams
Seismic evaluation of PG&E concrete dams is an ongoing process. The seismic environment for the dams changes over time because more historical earthquake data is obtained, faults...

Detection of Seismic Structural Damage
Damage analysis models based on equivalent modal parameters are used to identify the serviceability limit state for structures subjected to earthquake loads. A model for the analysis of...

Seismic Performance of Existing Building in New York City
Strength-based damage indices depending on structural shear capacity and earthquake intensity are used to predict the seismic performance of existing buildings in New York City. Nonlinear...

Seismic Evaluation of Buildings in the Eastern and Central United States
The Applied Technology Council (ATC) has developed and published a methodology, ATC-14, for evaluating specific buildings that is tailored for use by practicing structural engineers. ATC-14...

Seismic Isolation of the USC University Hospital
This paper provides an overview of the various structural engineering tasks that are associated with the implementation of the design of a seismically isolated structure. The project is...

Seismic Isolation for the Los Angeles County Fire Command and Control Facility
The use of seismic isolation is becoming an increasingly important consideration in improving the earthquake lifelines of a community. This paper identifies the major problems encountered...

Seismic Isolation of a Flight Simulator Manufacturing Facility
The corporate headquarters of Evans & Sutherland is located in the University of Utah Research Park which is in Salt Lake City, Utah. A major fault runs through Salt Lake City...

The Application of Seismic Isolation to Bridges
Unlike a building application the primary intent in a bridge is to protect the structure below the plane of isolation - the superstructure being relatively rigid to in-plane loads and...
