John Harris, Katherine Johnson, Steven McCabe
On February 2, 2016, President Obama signed Executive Order (EO) 13717: Establishing a Federal Earthquake Risk Management Standard. The EO establishes a minimum level of seismic safety compliance for new and existing buildings that will be constructed

Research Needs to Support Immediate Occupancy Building Performance Following Natural Hazard Events

August 21, 2018
Author(s)
Siamak Sattar, Therese P. McAllister, Katherine J. Johnson, Christopher T. Clavin, Christopher L. Segura, Steven L. McCabe, Juan F. Fung, Leslie Abrahams, Emily Sylak-Glassman , Marc L. Levitan, Kenneth W. Harrison, John L. Harris
The performance of buildings in our communities depends on multiple factors including the availability of supporting infrastructure, the original design, the current condition and capacity to resist hazard impacts, and the ability to recover functionality

ASCE/SEI 41 Predicted Performance of Newly Designed BRBFs

January 8, 2017
Author(s)
Matthew Speicher, John Harris
Structural engineers in the United States have turned to performance-based design methodologies for design of new buildings in order to find improved design solutions as compared to those obtained using prescriptive design provisions of current model

SEISMIC FRAGILITY AND COST ANALYSES OF ACTIVELY CONTROLLED STRUCTURES

April 15, 2013
Author(s)
Kevin K. Wong, John L. Harris
Seismic fragility represents the probability that the structural response exceeds a given performance limit state due to a specified intensity of ground motion, and it has a direct relationship with the cost of rehabilitating the structural system. In this

A Direct Analysis Method for Drift-Sensitive Steel Moment Frames

February 17, 2011
Author(s)
John L. Harris
Design interaction equations for steel members in a moment frame are formulated based on inelastic member capacities that account for geometric imperfections, residual stresses, second-order effects, and, in some cases, eccentric loading. The analytical

NONLINEAR MODAL ANALYSIS AND SUPERPOSITION

July 25, 2010
Author(s)
Kevin K. Wong, John L. Harris
Linear modal analysis and superposition technique has been used extensively in earthquake engineering and seismic applications for decades, and it is here extended to the nonlinear domain by representing the material nonlinearity using the force analogy
