This thesis examined an approximate method to calculate the nonlinear seismic response of structures known as the Equivalent Linear Model (ELM) which seeks to approximate the true nonlinear response through a series of ...

The wind energy industry has seen a substantial growth in several industrialized countries in recent years. Traditionally, territories in northern Europe, with a low level of seismicity, have been the leaders in the use ...

To assure the safety of Nuclear Power Plant structures, it is crucial to design them in a way that guarantees the continuous function of systems, structures, and components (SSC) after the seismic event has passed. Seismic ...

The equivalent linear method is widely used in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering to calculate the accelerations at the surface of soil deposits subject to earthquakes of moderate intensity. The method approximately takes ...

Esta tesis presenta el análisis dinámico y la evaluación sísmica de la represa de contrafuertes Guayabal ubicada en Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico para establecer conclusiones preliminares en cuanto a su integridad estructural ...
