Improving structural performance of an existing EBF and moment frame structure using fluid viscous dampers
(2024-04-09)Improving the performance of existing buildings is a critical function for engineers and one of the most impactful ways we can improve the sustainability of buildings. By re-using and upgrading existing building stock, we ... -
Improving the Post-Earthquake Response of Hospitals: The Implementation of Priority Response Agreements
(2024-04-09)It is vital that decisions on which hospital buildings can continue to be used following damaging earthquakes are made quickly. A key component of the decision-making process is timely input from experienced engineers ... -

Incorporating the influence of duration on dynamic deformation capacity in seismic assessment
(2021-04-14)The dynamic deformation capacity of a structure is the peak storey drift ratio it can safely withstand without collapsing due to dynamic instability. In a previous study, the authors developed a robust procedure to compute ... -
Indicators for quantifying post-disaster functionality: a neighbourhood scale
(2024-04-09)Natural disasters, such as earthquakes and cyclones, affect people physically and mentally. They can be destructive to the built environment, hindering infrastructure, lifelines, buildings and homes, which all support the ... -

Influence of damping models on nonlinear seismic response of a base isolated building
(2021-04-14)This paper discusses the effect of different damping models on nonlinear seismic response of a 8 storey 2D base isolated (BI) building: (1) Rayleigh damping proportional to the mass and initial stiffness matrices, (2) ... -
Influence of failure mode uncertainty on the collapse capacity of RC components
(2020-04-22)Acceptance criteria for reinforced concrete components are selected based on the assumption that the failure mode of a component is deterministic. This paper makes a case suggesting that such an assumption may be untrue ...
