Strength requirements for non-structural components responding nonlinearly under earthquake excitation
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
This study develops a practice-oriented method to design non-structural components and their restraints to lower strengths than needed to remain elastic under earthquake ground motion by permitting nonlinear non-structural ...
Incorporating the influence of duration on dynamic deformation capacity in seismic assessment
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
