Abstract Effect of higher vibration modes on the seismic shear demand of reinforced
concrete cantilever walls has been studied since the 1970's. The shear amplification …

In this paper, an optimum design of concrete-steel mixed frames under time-history loadings
was formulated as an optimization problem. The behavior of a mixed structure is different …

Dans l'édition 2005 proposée du Code National du Bâtiment du Canada (CNBC), le risque
sismique sera représenté par un spectre de risque uniforme pour lequel la probabilité d'être …

Seismic codes use the behaviour factor to consider the ductility and the structure's non-
linearity to improve the system's overall performance. Generally, Steel moment-resisting …

L'article porte sur le comportement inélastique d'un mur de refend ductile en béton armé de
12 étages lorsque soumis à des secousses sismiques. L'importance des effets P delta, de …

A new approach for generating a set of tri-directional earthquake time-histories compatible
with the target seismic design spectra for nuclear energy facilities based on multiple sets of …

The building codes in various jurisdictions, including Canada, follow a common concept in
designing buildings to achieve an acceptable seismic performance. The objective …

The distribution of seismic base shear demand among ductile flexural cantilever walls,
comprising the lateral load resisting system of a multistorey building, is studied. It is shown …

For some crucial engineering projects, a compatible time history of ground motions is
required as a loading input for seismic dynamic analysis. The compatibility with multi …

Uniform hazard spectra (UHS) have been used as design earthquakes in several design
codes. However, as the results from scalar probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) …
