Seismic Instrumentation and Its Implication for High-Rise Buildings in Japan
An outline of the present state of the strong earthquake motions observation systems in Japan and an example of the obtained records of an earthquake and its simulation analysis of a high-rise...

Seismic Instrumentation of Buildings in Italy
The paper describes the philosophy of the ENEA project of seismic instrumentation of buildings in Italy and the steps made to implement it. The philosophy is twofold: i) to define a general...

Seismic Evaluation of a Tall Reinforced Concrete Frame Building
Accelerations at basement, fifth and tenth floor levels of a reinforced concrete apartment building were recorded during the October 1st, 1987 Whittier-Narrows earthquake. These accelerations...

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...

Seismic Design of Highrise Building with Mega Frame
The NEC corporation head office building is under construction at Shiba Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan. This building is a highrise building of steel structure with the height of 180m. The structural...

Seismic Design of a Long-span Space Structure
This structure consists of a 5 layered complex shape of long-span steel roof structure, and reinforced concrete (RC) and steel reinforced concrete (SRC) supporting structures. The roof...

Implications for Limit State Design of Inverted V Braced Steel Structures
Inverted V braced steel structures with backup ductile moment-resisting frames forming a dual system, exhibit complex inelastic behavior under severe seismic excitations. Thus, current...

Building Frames Subjected to 2D Earthquake Motion
Inelastic response of a simplified model of a 10-storey building frame was analyzed to assess the effects of bi-directional seismic loading. Interaction between the strengths in the two...

Seismic Load Effects on a Scaled Model Structure
A long term observation on a scaled steel braced frame model with intentionally reduced seismic strength is ongoing since 1983. This paper examines the seismic load effects of two earthquakes...

Seismic Isolation of Storage Tanks
There has been a significant amount of research activity over the past decade on the seismic design of storage tanks. The seismic design issues and limit states are quite complex due to...

Seismic Large Amplitude Liquid Sloshing?Theory
The sloshing phenomenon in seismically-excited, rectangular, liquid storage tanks is addressed. In particular, a semi-analytical method to study the effects of large amplitude sloshing...

Analysis for the Seismic Response of Liquid Containers
An analytical model is presented for the nonlinear response of fluid containers whose bottom may separate from and lift off their foundation, during base excitation. First, the hydrodynamic...

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 Vulnerability and Retrofitting of Buildings. Recent Experiences in Mexico City
Measures taken in Mexico City after the 1985 earthquake to evaluate the safety of existing buildings, to strengthen damaged structures and to retrofit those that were considered to need...

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...

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 Vulnerability and Upgrading of Buildings Geotechnical-Geological Aspects
The effects of local soil conditions on the characteristics of earthquake motions (soil amplification) and on the dynamic response of structures for a given foundation type (soil structure...

Effects of Semi-Rigid Connections and P-? Forces on the Optimum Design of Seismic Steel Frames
By utilizing methods of optimality critera and constraint gradients, the minimum weight design of semi-rigid planar steel frames subjected to static and seismic excitations is presented...
