The response of a nuclear installation’s structure during an earthquake depends on the characteristics of the ground motion, the surrounding soil and the structure itself. Soil– structure interaction ...

The five-year research program considered the seismic design of corrugated metal decks, with and without concrete topping, as a diaphragm system that is an integral part of the steel structure. Photo ...

Pushover analysis is a nonlinear static procedure that provides a pragmatic approach to evaluating a structure's seismic performance without resorting to computationally expensive dynamic time‐history ...

Bruneau, who is also a distinguished member of ASCE—the highest honor the society can bestow—was recognized for “his contributions to advancing seismic design and improving the safety and resilience ...

Code-based earthquake engineering is on the verge of getting simpler, thanks to the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program’s recommendation to replace the traditional seismic hazard maps with ...
