Design Philosophy for Steel Structures in Moderate Seismic Regions
The authors propose a design philosophy for steel buildings in moderate seismic regions that draws on familiar concepts of ductility and capacity design, but also integrates the concepts of reserve capacity, elastic flexibility and strength to broaden the field of design possibilities. The paper discusses structural systems representing each of these concepts: Moderate-Ductility Concentrically-...
متن کاملLoading Protocols for European Regions of Low to Moderate Seismicity
Existing loading protocols for quasi-static cyclic testing of structures are based on recordings from regions of high seismicity. For regions of low to moderate seismicity they overestimate imposed cumulative damage demands. Since structural capacities are a function of demand, existing loading protocols applied to specimens that are representative of structures in low to moderate seismicity re...
متن کاملInvestigation of Soil Amplification in North Cyprus
In this study, soil characteristics were investigated using four well-located earthquakes recorded by six accelerometers located in North Cyprus. The amplification values obtained according to the soil features were mapped in accordance with different frequencies using horizontal to vertical spectral ratio method. The dominant period values of the units below the station locations were calculat...
متن کاملInterrupting Malaria Transmission: Quantifying the Impact of Interventions in Regions of Low to Moderate Transmission
Malaria has been eliminated from over 40 countries with an additional 39 currently planning for, or committed to, elimination. Information on the likely impact of available interventions, and the required time, is urgently needed to help plan resource allocation. Mathematical modelling has been used to investigate the impact of various interventions; the strength of the conclusions is boosted w...
متن کاملPatellofemoral Pain Syndrome in Young Adult Women with Low to Moderate Physical Activity Levels
Objective: To assess the prevalence and associated factors of patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) in young adult women with low to moderate physical activity levels (PA). Methods: Women with low to moderate PA, aged between 18 and 40 years, were enrolled in this study. A Thai version of the Kujala Patellofemoral Questionnaire (KPQ), history taking, and physical examination were used to screene...
