The energy dissipators are passive components that are incorporated into buildings and other structures undergoing dynamic excitations, especially earthquakes. Its purpose is to absorb the greatest part ...

A number of mid-height steel buildings have been erected recently in Bogotá. Their seismic risk might be high, given the new microzonation of Bogotá and the lack of comprehensive previous studies; ...

En este trabajo se presenta un estudio numérico de la vulnerabilidad sísmica de edificios de muros delgados construidos en Perú. Estos edificios se vienen construyendo desde hace unas décadas, especialmente ...

Collision between adjoining buildings is relevant, since the huge impact forces significantly modify the buildings dynamic behaviour. The separation required by the regulations avoids pounding; however, ...
Bravo González, Diego Andrés (Date of defense: 2010-06-18)
Energy input spectra applicable to the seismic design of structures in moderate-to-high seismicity regions such as Colombia are proposed. They are derived from the bilinear envelope of individual spectra ...
Alfarah, Bashar (Date of defense: 2017-06-09)
Under severe seismic excitation, structural behavior of buildings and other constructions is highly complex. It involves, among other issues, soil-structure interaction, large strains and displacements, ...
Yazgan, Ahmet Utku (Date of defense: 2012-09-07)
This work proposes design energy spectra in terms of an equivalent velocity, intended for regions with design peak acceleration 0.3 g or higher. These spectra have been derived through linear and nonlinear ...
Piscal Arévalo, Carlos Mario (Date of defense: 2018-10-22)
An important percentage of Colombian population is located in medium-to-high seismicity zones (NSR-10, 2010). Therefore, it is important to protect the buildings, principally the highly crowded ones, ...
