TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the application of the Endurance Time (ET) method in linear seismic analysis of structures and concluded that the ET method can be considered as an alternative time-history based analysis in the linear range.

Journal Article•
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for performance-based earthquake analysis and design has been introduced, where the structure is subjected to accelerograms that impose increasing dynamic demand on the structure with time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the response spectra of seven ground motions on stiff soil were used to produce intensifying acceleration functions that at each time window produce a response spectrum that is compatible with the template spectrum and proportionally scale up with time.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed the endurance time analysis (ETA) method as an alternative method to THA and incremental dynamic analysis (IDA), which is a time history based dynamic pushover procedure that applies a set of gradually intensifying acceleration functions to the structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the application of the Endurance Time (ET) method in performance-based design of structures with and without consideration of uncertainties and a practical optimum design procedure is proposed.

TL;DR: The ASCE/SEI 7-05 standard as discussed by the authors provides a complete update and reorganization of the wind load provisions, expanding them from one chapter into six, and includes new ultimate event wind maps with corresponding reductions in load factors.
Abstract: Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures provides requirements for general structural design and includes means for determining dead, live, soil, flood, wind, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, and earthquake loads, as well as their combinations, which are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. This Standard, a revision of ASCE/SEI 7-05, offers a complete update and reorganization of the wind load provisions, expanding them from one chapter into six. The Standard contains new ultimate event wind maps with corresponding reductions in load factors, so that the loads are not affected, and updates the seismic loads with new risk-targeted seismic maps. The snow, live, and atmospheric icing provisions are updated as well. In addition, the Standard includes a detailed Commentary with explanatory and supplementary information designed to assist building code committees and regulatory authorities. Standard ASCE/SEI 7 is an integral part of building codes in the United States. Many of the load provisions are substantially adopted by reference in the International Building Code and the NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code. Structural engineers, architects, and those engaged in preparing and administering local building codes will find this Standard an essential reference in their practice. Note: New orders are fulfilled from the second printing, which incorporates the errata to the first printing.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the dynamic ASPECTS of the sub-subject: MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS of systems SUBJECTED to INDEPENDENT VIBRATIONS by means of MATHEATICAL MODELS.
Abstract: PART 1 DEALS WITH THE DYNAMIC ASPECTS OF THE SUBJECT: MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF SYSTEMS SUBJECTED TO INDEPENDENT VIBRATIONS BY MEANS OF MATHEMATICAL MODELS. THE ANALYTICAL SYSTEMS USED ARE NON-LINEAR SYSTEMS, HYDRODYNAMICS AND NUMERICAL METHODS. PART 2 EXAMINES SEISMIC MOVEMENTS, THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR OF STRUCTURES AND THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF THE SEISMIC DESIGN OF STRUCTURES.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present some of the oral discussion by the author and others at the 2005 Annual Meeting of the Los Angeles Tall Buildings Structural Design Council on the development of a new building code for tall buildings.
Abstract: This paper presents some of the oral discussion by the author and others at the 2005 Annual Meeting of the Los Angeles Tall Buildings Structural Design Council. It also includes additional opinions added by the author after the annual meeting. These opinions address the development of a new building code for tall buildings and where the non-structural engineering decision makers can and must make contributions. It also addresses the very important topic of quality control. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
