Seismic Design Aids for Nonlinear Pushover Analysis of Reinforced Concrete and Steel Bridges
1st Edition
By Jeffrey Ger, Franklin Y. Cheng
June 07, 2017
Nonlinear static monotonic (pushover) analysis has become a common practice in performance-based bridge seismic design. The popularity of pushover analysis is due to its ability to identify the failure modes and the design limit states of bridge piers and to provide the progressive collapse ...
Random Vibration: Mechanical, Structural, and Earthquake Engineering Applications
1st Edition
By Zach Liang, George C. Lee
April 14, 2015
Most textbooks on random vibrations are very mathematically intensive, and are often difficult for senior/graduate students to digest in the learning period of a single semester course. This book is designed to focus on basic methodologies to handle random process in engineering practices. Based on...
Structural Damping: Applications in Seismic Response Modification
1st Edition
By Zach Liang, George C. Lee, Gary F. Dargush, Jianwei Song
November 21, 2011
Rapid advances have been made during the past few decades in earthquake response modification technologies for structures, most notably in base isolation and energy dissipation systems. Many practical applications of various dampers can be found worldwide and, in the United States, damper design ...
