El efecto P-delta y su influencia sobre la ductilidad de las estructuras metálicas del Ecuador by Juan C. Vielma P., Manuel A. Cando L.

“…It is well know that those response reduction factors values reflect the expected behaviour of the structures when they are under strong ground motions, being this seismic behaviour usually evaluated through ductility and over strength. …”

Vulnerability Assessment Of Telecommunication Steel Tower Subjected To Seismic Excitation by Wong, Qi Min

“…The IDA curves are developed and then used to generate the fragility curves. 18 sets of near-field and far-field ground motions, respectively, are used in the analyses based on the PEER and COSMOS strong ground motions database. The IDA curves are compared based on three performance levels, which is Immediate Occupancy (IO), Life Safety (LS) and Collapse Prevention (CP) by referring to the FEMA 356. …”

Novel hybrids of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) with several metaheuristic algorithms for spatial susceptibility assessment of seismic-induced landslide by Moayedi, Hossein, Mohammad Mehrabi, Mohammad Mehrabi, Kalantar, Bahareh, Mu’azu, Mohammed Abdullahi, Foong, Loke Kok, A. Rashid, Ahmad Safuan, Nguyen, Hoang

“…Strong ground motions usually trigger lots of slope failures in the affected area. …”

Lessons for Remote Post-earthquake Reconnaissance from the 14 August 2021 Haiti Earthquake by Michael R. Z. Whitworth, Giorgia Giardina, Camilla Penney, Luigi Di Sarno, Keith Adams, Tracy Kijewski-Correa, Jacob Black, Fatemeh Foroughnia, Valentina Macchiarulo, Pietro Milillo, Pietro Milillo, Mobin Ojaghi, Alessandra Orfeo, Francesco Pugliese, Kökcan Dönmez, Yasemin D. Aktas, Josh Macabuag

“…The objectives were: to use open-source information, particularly remote sensing data such as InSAR and Optical/Multispectral imagery, to characterise the earthquake and associated hazards; to understand the observed strong ground motions and compare these to existing seismic codes; to undertake remote structural damage assessments, and to evaluate the applicability of the techniques used for future post-disaster assessments. …”

Impact of strong repeated ground excitation to the on-plan rotation of asymmetric building with various strength and stiffness eccentricities by A., Rashidi, T. A., Majid, A., Faisal, M. I., Adiyanto

“…Hence, this paper presents the torsional behaviour of a single storey, three-dimensional asymmetric building under the excitation of single and repeated strong ground motions. These motions are applied in the z-direction and analysed for elastic and inelastic conditions. …”

Development of a database and visualization system integrating various models of seismic velocity structure and subducting plate geometry around Japan by Yasuko Yamagishi, Ayako Nakanishi, Seiichi Miura, Shuichi Kodaira, Hide Sakaguchi

“…Abstract To estimate strong ground motions caused by future earthquakes in Japan and to more accurately predict seismic hazards and tsunamis, it is necessary to accurately model the geometry of the subducting plate and the seismic velocity structure around Japan, particularly in offshore areas. …”

Study on numerical seismic performance evaluation of 3D building frame with smart self-centering BRBs system by Young Chan Kim, Hasan Shahriyer, Jong Wan Hu

“…In moderate ground motion, the performance of the SMA BRB was found to be higher compared to the steel BRB and base isolation system due to its superior self-centering capacity. However, in strong ground motions, periodic damage degrades the performance of the SMA BRB, which was found to be nearly identical to the steel BRB, but still superior to the base isolation system. …”

Spatial distributions of earthquake-induced landslides and hillslope preconditioning in the northwest South Island, New Zealand by R. N. Parker, G. T. Hancox, D. N. Petley, C. I. Massey, A. L. Densmore, N. J. Rosser

“…Our results suggest that hillslopes in regions that experienced strong ground motions in 1929 were more likely to fail in 1968 than would be expected on the basis of time-independent factors alone. …”

Stress drops calculated from seismic Lg-waves and their applications for investigating the typical earthquake sequences in the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau by Lin Shen, Lianfeng Zhao, Xiaobi Xie, Xi He, Weimin Wang, Zhenxing Yao

“…As one of the important parameters for characterizing source mechanisms and predicting strong ground motions, the stress drop is controlled by the tectonic environment, focal mechanism, and type of earthquake sequence. …”

Seismic Resilience Analysis of High-Rise Diagrid Structures with Various Skeletal Configurations Based on Robustness Criterion by M. Roshani, A. Meshkat Dini, A. Massumi

“…The resilience criterion is an important concept in conjunction with various disaster management processes, in which the structural capability to sustain skeletal stability is determined during strong ground motions. Based on comprehensive researches, there are essential factors that must be considered to establish an effective implementation for the seismic resilience lemma. …”
