Rigorous assessment of structural response to seismic excitation poses challenges for
researchers in their bid to account for the effects of (1) biaxial interaction; and (2) incidence …

The estimation of critical seismic response of a structure is complicated in nature due to the
uncertain distribution of the internal forces under multidirectional seismic excitations. One of …

During an earthquake, buildings are simultaneously excited by multiple (horizontal and
vertical) ground motion components. In the design process, the combinatorial effects of …

This paper presents a numerical investigation on seismic performance of reinforced
concrete (RC) cantilever columns under unidirectional and bidirectional excitations. The …

Within the context of near-fault motions with fling-step signature, the present paper
reevaluates the applicability of a straightforward alternative to estimate the response to …

A 1000 kV outgoing line frame (OLF1000), which is an important and long-span supporting
frame in ultrahigh-voltage substations (UHVSs), is prone to damage or collapse under …

The orientation of a structure with respect to the direction of propagation of tsunami wave
may often be arbitrary. As such, it may be convenient to consider the tsunami wave as a …

Reinforcement anchorage slip can significantly contribute to the seismic response of bridge
columns, especially to residual deformation. For a reliable numerical model of slip action …

A reasonable estimate of residual deformation is crucial for assessing a structure's post-
earthquake performance, safety, and serviceability. Residual deformation may be significant …

Both maximum and residual deformations are essential for seismic safety during and
following strong earthquakes, especially in the near field. These parameters are often …
