Deterioration modeling of steel moment resisting frames using finite-length plastic hinge force-based beam-column elements (2014)
Journal Article
Ribeiro, F. L., Barbosa, A. R., Scott, M. H., & Neves, L. C. (2015). Deterioration modeling of steel moment resisting frames using finite-length plastic hinge force-based beam-column elements. Journal of Structural Engineering, 141(2), Article 04014112. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29ST.1943-541X.0001052

The use of empirically calibrated moment-rotation models that account for strength and stiffness deterioration of steel frame members is paramount in evaluating the performance of steel structures prone to collapse under seismic loading. These deteri... Read More about Deterioration modeling of steel moment resisting frames using finite-length plastic hinge force-based beam-column elements.

Application of reliability-based robustness assessment of steel moment resisting frame structures under post-mainshock cascading events (2014)
Journal Article
Ribeiro, F. L., Barbosa, A. R., & Neves, L. C. (in press). Application of reliability-based robustness assessment of steel moment resisting frame structures under post-mainshock cascading events. Journal of Structural Engineering, 140(8), Article A4014008. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29ST.1943-541X.0000939

This paper proposes a reliability-based framework for quantifying structural robustness considering the occurrence of a major earthquake (mainshock) and subsequent cascading hazard events, such as aftershocks that are triggered by the mainshock. Thes... Read More about Application of reliability-based robustness assessment of steel moment resisting frame structures under post-mainshock cascading events.
