A brief review and state of the art for Performance-Based Wind Design (PBWD) has been
presented to provide researchers with clear historic literature on the development of PBWD …

Featured Application The Louisiana State University (LSU) Windstorm Impact, Science, and
Engineering (WISE) Open-Jet Testing facility is instrumental in enhancing structural …

Optimization is an important area of research in Engineering, usually due to the potentiality
of saving costs and improving structural safety. Composite structures are typically complex …

Air-supported membrane structures are being widely used for coal-sheds or the enclosed
buildings of stockyards. With the emergence of new functional requirements for buildings …

This study describes an automated procedure to assess seismic fragility of 3D reinforced
concrete frame structures. A number of 9600 3D nonlinear dynamic analyses are performed …

Natural hazards such as strong winds, typhoons, and earthquakes have caused massive
economic losses in the form of damage to residential and life-line structures. Electric …

In nonlinear response history analysis, equivalent viscous damping is often used with
Rayleigh damping. For inelastic structures, this may lead to spurious damping forces …

The structural engineering community often deals with the issue of inelastic incursions of the
structural response. Although buildings situated in seismic regions are usually designed …

The tuned mass-damper-inerter (TMDI), comprising mass blocks, springs, dampers, and two-
terminal inertial elements, has garnered significant attention as an advanced iteration of the …
