Estimation of equivalent viscous damping is an important step in the methodology direct displacement based design. Errors estimation this parameter may lead to consequent errors ductility demand designed elements. Equivalent estimated by Jacobsen's approach for steady-state harmonic response are compared with effective factors obtained from iterative procedure using time — history analyses single-degree-of-freedom systems. In order separate effects elastic-viscous and hysteretic designs were...
The response of mid-rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Mexico City after the 2017 Puebla Earthquake is assessed through combined field and computational investigation. Mw 7.1 earthquake damaged more than 500 where most them are classified as RC frames with infill walls. A multinational team from Colombia, Mexico, United States was rapidly deployed within a week occurrence event to investigate structural nonstructural damage levels over 60 2–12 stories. results study confirmed that...
This paper examines the seismic response of two full-scale pile-to-deck connections marginal wharves built in 1980s at Port Los Angeles. The first test represented a precast pretensioned concrete pile-deck connection Berth 145. berth required extending deck for new crane rail and line piles. proposed wharf upgrade considered leaving existing piles if their lateral displacement capacity exceeded expected demands. A representative was tested to assess rotation under reversed cyclic loading....
Civil structures are prone to axial shortening, overloads, differential settlements, structural damage, and some other events that make the structure behave different than expected.Those conditions need be assessed maintain building safe, nevertheless, there not affordable reliable technologies evaluate integrity at any moment.In this work, a low-cost monitoring system for strain,
Standards for seismic assessment and retrofitting of buildings provide deformation limit states structural members connections. However, in order to perform fully consistent performance-based analyses soil-structure systems; must also be available foundations that are vulnerable nonlinear actions. Because such have never been established the past, a laboratory testing program was conducted study rotational capacity small-scale foundation models under combined axial load moment. Fourteen...

The behavior of pile-deck connections pile-supported marginal wharfs subjected to earthquake loading is key importance ensure a good performance this type structures. Two precast-pretensioned used in the construction were tested under cyclic loading. first connection with simple reinforcement details and light steel ratio developed for use where moderate rotation demands are expected wharf. second specifically sustain large rotation, shear force bending moment demands, as required shortest...
The design of wharf systems in areas high seismicity is quite challenging. seismic code for the Port Los Angeles (POLA) specifies performance two levels earthquake intensity, Operating Level Earthquake (OLE) and Contingency (CLE). According to this procedure, structural behaviors should be controlled well even large events, but available information few additional experiments are required obtain better understanding. A current testing program underway at University California, San Diego...
