Bridge columns are subjected to combinations of actions and deformations, caused by spatially-complex earthquake ground motions, features of structural configurations and the interaction between input ...
Design codes provide response spectra to be used in structural seismic analyses. Different response spectra are prescribed for various locations, corresponding to the local soil conditions. An example ...
Assessment of Base-Isolated Nuclear Structures for Design and Beyond-Design Basis Earthquake Shaking
Keywords: Nuclear power plants (NPP). Base isolation. Seismic isolation systems. ASCE 43-05. Damage. Design level earthquakes. Moats. Gravity loads. Seismic loads ...
A novel earthquake early warning system (EEWS) has been proposed by researchers Jawad Fayaz, Rodrigo Astroza, and Sergio Ruiz in a recent study published in Engineering. The system, named HEWFERS ...
When a nuclear power plant operating in the U.S. experiences an earthquake, it may need to perform certain reviews and evaluations to continue in power operation. For each plant, an operating basis ...
Opened to a full house, last year, at the Design Exchange in downtown Toronto, Considering the Quake: Seismic Design on the Edge, explores the elegant, and oftentimes, elusive intersection between the ...
