A Methodology for Estimating Seismic Retrofit Costs

September 28, 2017

Author(s)

Juan F. Fung, David T. Butry, Siamak Sattar, Steven L. McCabe

Presidential Executive Order 13717 (EO 13717), Establishing a Federal Earthquake Risk Management Standard, encourages federal agencies to enhance resilience...[to] future earthquakes by evaluating and retrofitting existing federal buildings based on

Collapse Indicators for Existing Nonductile Concrete Frame Buildings with Varying Column and Frame Characteristics

August 17, 2017

Author(s)

Siamak Sattar, Abbie B. Liel

Many existing reinforced concrete moment frame buildings in high seismic regions around the world, including the U.S., were built without adequate seismic detailing requirements. Identifying the level of collapse criticality of these buildings in terms of

Epistemic Uncertainty in Solution Algorithms for Analyzing Geometric Nonlinearity of Framed Structures

April 6, 2017

Author(s)

Kevin K F Wong, Siamak Sattar, Steven McCabe

One important aspect of performance-based earthquake engineering is developing structural models that can accurately capture key characteristics of dynamic responses up to structural collapse. This in turns requires the solution algorithm be capable of

Influence of ground motion selection on the assessment of a steel special moment frames

January 8, 2017

Author(s)

Raul Uribe, Siamak Sattar, Matthew Speicher, Luis Ibarra

This paper quantifies the impact of using different ground motion selection methods to evaluate the seismic performance of steel special moment frames. Two methods are investigated: a "traditional" approach, herein referred to as the PEER method, and a

Assessment of First Generation Performance-based Seismic Design Methods: Case Study on a 4-story Reinforced Concrete Special Moment Frame

April 23, 2015

Author(s)

Siamak Sattar, Anne M. Hulsey

The anticipated performance of a 4-story reinforced concrete (RC) building designed in accordance with ASCE/SEI 7, is assessed using ASCE/SEI 41. Engineering practitioners employing the performance-based seismic engineering philosophy are increasingly
