Over the last three decades, the frequency and magnitude of disasters have considerably increased due to urbanization and climate change, thereby causing significant loss of lives, property, and the economy. To respond to such catastrophic events, significant financial resources are allocated by a combination of public and private sources for […]
Assessing and Quantifying Success and Failures in Post-Disaster Housing Recovery: A Comprehensive Evaluation Framework
Over the last three decades, the frequency and magnitude of disasters have considerably increased due to urbanization and climate change, thereby causing significant loss of lives, property, and the economy. To respond to such catastrophic events, significant financial resources are allocated by a combination of public and private sources for […]
Performance of Structures with Dampers
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the earthquake performance of structures with passive energy dissipators. This Paper addresses the following issues: 1) evaluation of seismic intensity levels at which frames incorporating the energy dissipating system (EDS) remain elastic; 2) performance evaluation of frames incorporating an EDS for high […]
