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 modeling of migration of hydrogen produced by the corrosion of the nuclear waste packages in an underground storage including the dissolution of hydrogen involves a set of nonlinear partial differential equations with nonlinear complementarity constraints. This article shows how to apply a modern and efficient solution strategy, the Newton-min method, to this geoscience problem and investig...
