With the development of performance based earthquake engineering, the recognition of
performance based seismic design (PBSD) is continuously growing in academia and …

The extended N2 method has been developed, which takes into account higher mode
effects both in plan and in elevation. The extension is based on the assumption that the …

This study analyzes the progression, utilization, and inherent challenges of traditional non-
linear static procedures (NSPs) such as the capacity spectrum method, the displacement …

The N2 method has been extended in order to take into account higher mode effects in
elevation. The extension is based on the assumption that the structure remains in the elastic …

This paper demonstrates the enhanced resilience performance of steel structures with
viscoelastic friction dampers (VEFDs) based on numerical simulations of building …

Most civil structures exhibit nonlinear behavior during moderate to severe earthquakes.
Consequently, inelastic analysis is needed for seismic design. Several dynamic and static …

Recently, extensive research has been conducted regarding higher-mode effects on the
response of multi degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems. The research has been focused …

Sequential ground motions can significantly affect the seismic demands of reinforced
concrete (RC) frames with irregularity along the height. In this paper, the effect of sequential …

A modal pushdown analysis procedure is developed for progressive collapse assessment of
multi-storey steel frame buildings under sudden removal of a column due to catastrophic …

In order to account for the effect of higher modes in estimating the seismic demands of tall
buildings, a non-adaptive displacement-based pushover (NADP) procedure based on …
