Abstract This paper investigates the seismic loss assessment of seismically isolated and non-isolated buildings with steel moment or braced frames, designed by design standard ASCE/SEI 7-16. The is calculated from damage to structural non-structural components, as well demolition collapse buildings. study demonstrates that expected annual losses for are half less than those These depend on type...

The pyfao56 software package is a Python-based implementation of (1) the American Society Civil Engineers (ASCE) Standardized Reference Evapotranspiration Equation and (2) Food Agricultural Organization United Nations (FAO) Irrigation Drainage Paper No. 56 (FAO-56) dual crop coefficient methodology. was initially developed to support water use estimation irrigation scheduling for field research...

The development of large-scale floating structures is recognized by the American Society Civil Engineers as a critical step towards resilient coastal cities for climate change adaptation (ASCE, 2019). Yet, lack design guidelines acts to limit their at community scale. In response, we demonstrate and validate applicability simplified analytical procedure against numerical solutions elucidate dyn...
