The response of a nuclear installation’s structure during an earthquake depends on the characteristics of the ground motion, the surrounding soil and the structure itself. Soil– structure interaction ...

The five-year research program considered the seismic design of corrugated metal decks, with and without concrete topping, as a diaphragm system that is an integral part of the steel structure. Photo ...

Pushover analysis is a nonlinear static procedure that provides a pragmatic approach to evaluating a structure's seismic performance without resorting to computationally expensive dynamic time‐history ...

Code-based earthquake engineering is on the verge of getting simpler, thanks to the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program’s recommendation to replace the traditional seismic hazard maps with ...

Bruneau, who is also a distinguished member of ASCE—the highest honor the society can bestow—was recognized for “his contributions to advancing seismic design and improving the safety and resilience ...
