Comparison of U.S. and Chilean Building Code Requirements and Seismic Design Practice 1985-2010

October 15, 2012

Author(s)

Ronald Hamburger, Patricio Bonelli, Rene Lagos, Loring Wyllie Jr.

This work is part of a series of investigations into the performance of engineered construction during the February 27, 2010, Maule earthquake in Chile. It is intended to provide an understanding of the similarities and differences between U.S. and Chilean

Program Plan for the Development of Seismic Design Guidelines for Port Container, Wharf, and Cargo Systems

September 14, 2012

Author(s)

Richard Wittkop, Omar Jarradat, Gayle Johnson, Geoffrey Martin, Glenn Rix, Ian Robertson

Work on this project was intended to be an extension of a National Science Foundation (NSF), George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) Grand Challenge project, "Seismic Risk Mitigation for Port Systems," conducted by the

Soil-Structure Interaction for Building Structures

September 13, 2012

Author(s)

Jonathan Stewart, C.B. Crouse, Tara C. Hutchinson, Bret Lizundia, Farzad Naeim, Farhang Ostadan

The purpose of this project was to develop consensus guidance for implementing soil-structure interaction in response history analyses, and to identify areas of further research that were needed. The starting point for this work was decades of available

Seismic Damage and Fragility Analysis of Structures With Tuned Mass Dampers Based on Plastic Energy

April 2, 2012

Author(s)

Kevin K. Wong, John L. Harris

The effectiveness of using a tuned mass damper (TMD) to improve a structures ability to dissipate earthquake input energy is investigated through the use of seismic fragility curves. Nonlinear material behavior of the structure is captured using the Force

Nonlinear Modal Analysis of Structures with Rigid-End Offsets

March 31, 2012

Author(s)

Kevin K. Wong

The nonlinear modal analysis (NMA) methodology for analyzing moment-resisting framed structures is here extended to include frame elements with rigid-end offsets. Four keys components of the NMA methodology for conducting dynamic analysis of nonlinear

Research Plan for the Study of Seismic Behavior and Design of Deep, Slender Wide Flange Structural Steel Beam-Column Members

December 15, 2011

Author(s)

James Malley, Charles Carter, Jerome Hajjar, Dimitrios Lignos, Charles Roeder, Mark Saunders

The objective of this task was to develop a comprehensive long-range plan to research the seismic behavior of deep, slender wide flange structural steel beam-columns in steel frames. Development of the plan included the investigation of available

December 14, 2011

Author(s)

William Holmes, David Bonowitz, James Cagley, Chris Poland

In response to Public Law 101-614 and Executive Order 12941, the Interagency Committee on Seismic Safety in Construction (ICSSC) issued two editions of Standards of Seismic Safety for Existing Federally Owned and Leased Buildings as Recommended Practice 4

Selecting and Scaling Earthquake Ground Motions for Performing Response-History Analyses

November 15, 2011

Author(s)

Andrew Whittaker, Gail Atkinson, Jack Baker, Jonathan Bray, Damian Grant, Ronald Hamburger, Curt Haselton, Paul Somerville

The primary objective of this task was to develop guidance for selecting, generating, and scaling earthquake ground motions for effective use in performing response history analyses for use in performance-based seismic engineering. The need for such
