The implementation of two series of hybrid simulations that aim to trace the system-level
seismic response of a four-story steel moment frame building structure through collapse is …

Steel plate reinforced concrete composite shear wall (SPRW) is an excellent system for
dealing with lateral loads to protect against earthquake-induced collapse. In these systems …

Performance objectives in the seismic design of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings require
buildings to survive their maximum considered earthquakes (MCE) with a low probability of …

Hybrid simulation is an innovative experimental method currently being tested and utilized
for the simulation of earthquake loads on structures. The reliability of this experimental …

Dynamic analysis is important to describe the real behavior of the structure subjected to
dynamic loads as wind, traffic, blast, machinery and earthquakes. Puerto Rico is located in a …
