Development of Seismic Design Spectra For Shallow and Deep Soil Sites Considering Region Specific Parameters
Earthquakes are among the deadliest in all the natural disasters and have affected many people in the last few decades. The efforts to reduce or mitigate the impact of earthquakes have become increasingly focused upon ... -
Reliability And Response Uncertainty Analyses Of Piping And Shutdown Systems Of Nuclear Power Plants Under Seismic Loading
(2013-05-20)Earthquake safety engineering of nuclear power plant structures poses several challenges to the analyst and designer. These problems are characterized by highly transient and dynamic nature of earthquake induced excitations, ... -
Structural dynamic testing for seismic response simulation and time variant reliability estimation
The research work reported in this thesis addresses a few problems which arise in the context of experimental dynamic testing of engineering structures under earthquake loads. Firstly, we consider the problem of characterizing ...
