Life Safety Risk Criteria in Seismic Decisions
This paper addresses acceptable life-safety risk within the context of riskmitigation decision-making. The gathering of risk information and risk-mitigation alternatives raises two questions: is a current level of risk acceptable, and if not, how does one determine if a particular mitigation measure is reasonable and prudent? A procedure is proposed for decision-makers to select among competing...
متن کاملCriteria for Seismic Risk Reduction of Earthquake Resistant Buildings
Most of the existing seismic design codes are based on the empirical knowledge accumulated through systematic earthquake damage data collection and their analysis. Required levels of protection and seismic design forces gradually are increased after each series of catastrophic earthquakes particularly in developed countries. Many efforts have been made through experimental and analytical studie...
متن کاملPerformance Based Seismic Design
Performance based seismic design (PBSD) is a cogent design approach that allows engineers to design structures with a predictable seismic performance for a specified level of hazard. In contrast to the conventional limit state or strength and serviceability based design in which a structure is designed to withstand severe load combinations and be functional under normal load conditions, PBSD go...
متن کاملSeismic Risk Assessment of Power Substations
Power networks are among the most important infrastructures that without them, industrial, economic and social procedures will halt. Therefore, they should be planned for the most difficult conditions to provide services with minimum disruption. Power substations are of great importance to a power network, because any disruption in their components can produce extensive problems through the net...
متن کاملSeismic Design and Analysis of Structures
The problem of estimating the power spectra of non-stationary stochastic processes by using the harmonic wavelet transform is addressed in this paper. Conventional spectral analysis provides spectral coefficients that are averaged over time and thus, does not represent the evolutionary behavior of power spectra of non-stationary processes. In this study, evolutionary power spectrum of a non-sta...
