The paper presents an extended seismic damage assessment of unanchored nonstructural
components by means of rigid block analysis. Both (real) ground and floor motions are …

An accurate estimation of drift demands is crucial for designing and assessing structures
under seismic loads. Given the novelty of massive timber buildings, predictive models for the …

The paper addresses the reliability of the existing shake table testing protocols for
assessment of the seismic response of freestanding, ie unanchored, components meant as …

Lumped parameter macroscopic structural models, such as those consisting of springs and
rigid sticks, are useful for parametric studies and probabilistic analyses of individual building …

Over the last decades, performance-based design objectives have shifted towards damage
control and continuity of operation after a design-level earthquake. In this context, the …

Residual stresses are widespread in materials and significantly affect their mechanical
properties. In this paper, with the impact of residual stress taken into account, a method was …

In the seismic design of acceleration-sensitive nonstructural components, floor acceleration
response spectra are commonly selected for analysis, which has proven to be effective in …

The promising design philosophy of rocking isolation was adopted to retrofit the aged
bridges with single-column piers, namely single-column rocking piers. To estimate its …

For the fault diagnosis process of petrochemical rotating machinery, it is difficult to accurately
identify faults by relying only on dimensionless index methods. Therefore, a fault diagnosis …

Bidirectional analyses covering a range of incidence angles for several records are
essential yet challenging for routine design. Recent studies have shown that the response to …
