Simplified pushover-based vulnerability analysis for large-scale assessment of RC buildings

Mechanism Based Assessment of Damaged Building’s Residual Capacity

“…For what concerns calculation of yield and ultimate displacements, a similar approach to the one proposed in [19] is adopted. In particular, the yield displacement d y at the roof level of the MDOF system is calculated assuming a linear deformed shape within the elastic range (see Figure 3 and Eq.…”

Vulnerability Data Collection and Definition of Seismic Risk for Cities in Palestine

“…From survey data collected as described ing SP-BELA (Simplified Pushover [4]). The curves are determined as each building in relation to the number of the seismic behavior of masonry buildings [10] on the Italian territory.…”

“…SP-BELA was implemented the seismic behavior of masonry buildings [3], RC frame buildings [4], and pre…”

Simplified Closed-Form Solution for the Determination of the Moment-Curvature Response of a Circular Rc Section

“…Usually regional scale analysis resorts to typological or semi empirical vulnerability methods but in this paper it's used a procedure that is based on rational mechanics with whom the ultimate displacement of a multi span bridge can be obtained with small computational effort and with few input data. Basing on the so called "Simplified Pushover Analysis" [4], instead of performing a full structural analysis under pushing loads, the vulnerability of the bridge is directly expressed by the capacity curve of an equivalent SDoF system. Moreover, given that the energy dissipation capacity of a simply supported bridge is concentrated in the piers and the deck usually remains elastic, in the simplified analysis only the piers contribute to model the SDoF system.…”
