51. Peak Non-Gaussian Wind Effects for Data Base-Assisted Low-Rise Building Design
Published: 5/1/2002
Authors: Fahim H Sadek, Emil Simiu
Abstract: Current procedures for estimating the peaks of the stochastic response of tall buildings to wind are based on the assumption that the response is Gaussian. Those procedures are therefore inapplicable to low-rise buildings, in which time histories of ...

52. An Innovative Approach for Controlling Hysteretic Structures Using static Output Feedback H (inf) Algorithm and Stochastic Linearization Techniques
Published: 4/1/2002
Authors: Fahim H Sadek, M Ben Ftima, S El-Borgi, G P McCormick, Michael A Riley
Abstract: This paper presents a robust static output feedback H(infinity) algorithm for control of hysteretic civil engineering structures subjected to earthquake ground motions. Hysteretic structures present a problem for control design and algorithm develop ...

54. Design Procedures for Structures with Supplemental Dampers
Published: 4/1/2001
Authors: Fahim H Sadek, Michael A Riley
Abstract: Passive energy dissipation devices are used to reduce the damage from earthquakes by absorbing a portion of the earthquake-induced energy in structures. Wide acceptance of these devices in structures will depend on the availability of simplified met ...

55. NIST Research on Structural Performance of Housing Systems
Published: 4/1/2001
Authors: Fahim H Sadek, Michael A Riley
Abstract: An outline of NIST research in the area of structural performance of housing systems is presented in this paper. The performance of wood-frame houses in past earthquakes and hur-ricanes is summarized, and the state-of-the-art in experimental and ana ...

59. Linear Procedures for Structures with Velocity-Dependent Dampers
Published: 8/1/2000
Authors: Fahim H Sadek, B Mohraz, Michael A Riley
Abstract: Passive energy dissipation devices are used to reduce the damaging effects of earthquakes. These devices can absorb a portion of the earthquake-induced energy in structures and thus reduce the energy demand on structural members. Wide acceptance of ...

60. Strength Evaluation of Connectors for Intermodal Containers
Series: NIST Interagency/Internal Report (NISTIR)
Report Number: 6557
Published: 8/1/2000
Authors: Hai Sang Lew, Fahim H Sadek, E D Anderson
Abstract: Intermodal containers are used widely in marine cargo handling. In order to facilitate unloading of empty containers from ship to shore, two containers are lifted frequently in tandem. This operation is referred to as vertical tandem lifting. In ...
