Collapse Risk of Steel Special Moment Frames per FEMA P695

February 5, 2020
Author(s)
Matthew S. Speicher, Jazalyn D. Dukes, Kevin K. Wong
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) performance-based seismic design standard, ASCE 41, contains methodologies used by practicing engineers to assess existing buildings and to design new buildings. In 2015, the National Institute of Standards

Using FEMA P695 to Interpret ASCE 41 Seismic Performance of Special Moment Frames

June 25, 2018
Author(s)
Matthew S. Speicher, Jazalyn D. Dukes, Kevin K. Wong
ASCE 41 contains methodologies used by practicing engineers for the assessment of existing buildings and the design of new buildings. The National Institute of Standards and Technology recently completed a study investigating the relationship between ASCE

EVALUATION OF STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE BASED ON AN ENERGY BALANCE APPROACH

January 8, 2017
Author(s)
Kevin K F Wong, Steven McCabe
An analytical method is developed to investigate the potential energy of fully nonlinear framed structures and other energy characteristics due to earthquake ground motions. Since the potential energy relates to the stiffness of the structure, it consists

SEISMIC FRAGILITY AND COST ANALYSES OF ACTIVELY CONTROLLED STRUCTURES

April 15, 2013
Author(s)
Kevin K. Wong, John L. Harris
Seismic fragility represents the probability that the structural response exceeds a given performance limit state due to a specified intensity of ground motion, and it has a direct relationship with the cost of rehabilitating the structural system. In this

Nonlinear Modal Analysis of Structures with Rigid-End Offsets

March 31, 2012
Author(s)
Kevin K. Wong
The nonlinear modal analysis (NMA) methodology for analyzing moment-resisting framed structures is here extended to include frame elements with rigid-end offsets. Four keys components of the NMA methodology for conducting dynamic analysis of nonlinear

Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Structures Using Modal Superposition

April 13, 2011
Author(s)
Kevin K. Wong
A fast nonlinear dynamic analysis algorithm based on modal superposition of structural response incorporating both material and geometric nonlinearities is proposed. Because linear modal superposition has found great acceptances in performance-based

NONLINEAR MODAL ANALYSIS AND SUPERPOSITION

July 25, 2010
Author(s)
Kevin K. Wong, John L. Harris
Linear modal analysis and superposition technique has been used extensively in earthquake engineering and seismic applications for decades, and it is here extended to the nonlinear domain by representing the material nonlinearity using the force analogy
