Design Procedures for Structures with Supplemental Dampers

April 1, 2001
Author(s)
Fahim Sadek, Michael A. Riley
Passive energy dissipation devices are used to reduce the damage from earthquakes by absorbing a portion of the earthquake-induced energy in structures. Wide acceptance of these devices in structures will depend on the availability of simplified methods

NIST Research on Structural Performance of Housing Systems

April 1, 2001
Author(s)
Fahim Sadek, Michael A. Riley
An outline of NIST research in the area of structural performance of housing systems is presented in this paper. The performance of wood-frame houses in past earthquakes and hur-ricanes is summarized, and the state-of-the-art in experimental and analytical

Linear Procedures for Structures with Velocity-Dependent Dampers

August 1, 2000
Author(s)
Fahim Sadek, B Mohraz, Michael A. Riley
Passive energy dissipation devices are used to reduce the damaging effects of earthquakes. These devices can absorb a portion of the earthquake-induced energy in structures and thus reduce the energy demand on structural members. Wide acceptance of these

Strength Evaluation of Connectors for Intermodal Containers

August 1, 2000
Author(s)
Hai S. Lew, Fahim Sadek, E D. Anderson
Intermodal containers are used widely in marine cargo handling. In order to facilitate unloading of empty containers from ship to shore, two containers are lifted frequently in tandem. This operation is referred to as vertical tandem lifting. In this

Guidelines for Testing Passive Energy Dissipation Devices

November 1, 1999
Author(s)
Michael A. Riley, Fahim H. Sadek, B Mohraz
Passive energy dissipation devices can be used to significantly reduce the response of structures to earthquake and wind excitation. Wide acceptance of these devices depends on the availability of information on their performance as well as standards for

Summary of the Structural Performance of Single-Family, Wood-Frame Housing

September 1, 1998
Author(s)
Charles W. Yancey, Geraldine Cheok, Fahim H. Sadek, B Mohraz
A review of the structural performance of single-family, wood-frame houses is presented. The performance of these structures in selected earthquakes and hurricanes is summarized. In general, wood-frame houses performed well with relatively few instances of
