Performance of Glass Panels Under Seismic Loading
The primary goal of this thesis is to analyze current trends in the improvement of the performance and safety of glass during an earthquake. The four sections consist of an overview of glass as a building material, glass installation methods, rehabilitation methods for existing structures, and building code related issues. The thesis is based on an analysis of sources including books, journal a...
متن کاملSeismic reliability analysis of underground pipelines based on probability density evolution method
In this paper, a new approach for the dynamic reliability assessment of finite element modelled underground pipeline structures under earthquake excitations with uncertain parameters is proposed. The approach is established based on the thoughts of the newly developed probability density evolution method, which is capable of capturing the instantaneous probability density function (PDF) and its...
متن کاملExamining the Applicability of Design Methods for Large Panelized All-wood Roof Diaphragms under Seismic Loading
The use of flexible roof diaphragms is very common in the United States, both for residential buildings and large-scale commercial buildings. Due to its simplicity, the traditional diaphragm design method is commonly used in diaphragm design, in particular for the design of diaphragms with relatively small dimensions. The traditional diaphragm design method assumes the axial chord forces develo...
متن کاملSlope Stability of Municipal Solid Waste Landfills under Seismic Loading
Design of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills requires a considerable attention due to the undesirable environmental and socio-economical impact of a potential failure. Furthermore, recent research and engineering practice experience in developed countries characterized by high seismicity, like U.S.A and Japan, has shown that MSW landfills are vulnerable to the seismic threat. Despite the viv...
متن کاملApplication of subset simulation in reliability estimation of underground pipelines
This paper presents a computational framework for implementing an advanced Monte Carlo simulation method, called Subset Simulation (SS) for time-dependent reliability prediction of underground flexible pipelines. The SS can provide better resolution for low failure probability level of rare failure events which are commonly encountered in pipeline engineering applications. Random samples of sta...
