In the present paper, the focus is on the evaluation of steel dual-system frame buildings using four main types of structural analysis (Linear Static, Linear Dynamic, Nonlinear Static and Nonlinear Dynamic Analyses) with regard to "Seismic Rehabilitation Code for Existing Buildings in Iran" (based on FEMA 273 and 356) where the first two authors of the article tend to follow the previous work (...

This paper examines the earthquake resistant design and construction practices prevailing in India. Results of a set of studies conducted to estimate the seismic performance of Indian housing stock, are presented. A field survey was conducted in the National Capital Region to assess the expected seismic performance of multistorey buildings, as these are so-called ‘engineered’ buildings and the ...

This study developed a national seismic hazard map around Taiwan through a deterministic manner. The essential of this approach is to treat every historic event as a potential point source, then with the seismic hazard taken as the maximum ground motion resulted from the series of earthquake events. A program developed in-house was used to carry out mass computation and map-making. The results ...

by application of design spectra in seismic analyses, determination of design spectra for different site conditions, magnitudes, safety levels and damping ratios will improve the accuracy of seismic analysis results. the result of this research provides different design acceleration spectra based on iran earthquakes database for different conditions. for this purpose first a set of 146 records ...

The recently developed matched filter technique is effective in detecting earthquakes during intensive aftershock or swarm sequences. However, currently our detection code can only process on single-CPU computers, which takes a long time to perform the cross-correlation between continuous seismic data and template events. In this paper, we present a GPU-based computation method to significantly...

We present a grid of stellar models, obtained with the CLÉS evolutionary code, following the specification of ESTA-Task1, and the corresponfing seismic properties, computed with the LOSC code. We provide a complete description of the corresponding files that will be available on the ESTA web-pages.

field observations of the incurred damages to the buildings and bridges due to earthquakes in near field show there are various failure modes which are in relation to the forces caused by vertical component. while vertical component of earthquake for ordinary buildings in most seismic regulations and standards is not considered. therefore, in the current study the effects of vertical and horizo...

A performance-based seismic design (PBSD) method is aimed at controlling the structural damage based on precise estimations of proper response parameters. PBSD method evaluates the performance of a building frame for any seismic hazard, the building may experience. Use of this method for vertical irregular building is verified with comparison of conventional method. Vertical irregular frame is ...
