The Structural Fuse: An Inelastic Approach to Earthquake-Resistant Design of Buildings
Mark Fintel,S. K. Ghosh +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an alternative to the empirical approach to earthquake-resistant design of buildings is proposed and illustrated with a design example, which makes some members, mostly beams, weaker, so that they will yield in a controlled fashion during an earthquake.
Journal Article
Modern Concrete Structures Survive Romanian Earthquake
TL;DR: In Bucharest, Romania, on March 4, 1977, 35 buildings collapsed during a severe earthquake (7.2 on the Richter scale) in Bucharest as mentioned in this paper, two of which were older structures, erected before World War II, before seismic design was considered.

Mark Fintel,S. K. Ghosh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for determining elastic or inelastic column length changes in tall structures has now been updated, computerized and make applicable to concrete, steel and composite structures.
