RISK-TARGETED MAPS FOR SEISMIC DESIGN. A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE STATE-OF-THE-ART
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2017, Vol 62, Issue 1
Abstract
The uniform hazard approach is currently used for almost all seismic design maps enforced worldwide. That being the case, the seismic risk of buildings designed according to uniform hazard values of ground motions parameters cannot be uniform all over the territory, as the slopes of the hazard curves can differ from a site to another. The aim of this study is to present and assess different methodologies concerning risk-targeted seismic design maps and to differentiate the parameters that can influence the overall shape and site-specific values of such maps.

ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC NOISE FROM A MAIN ROAD CROSSING A CITY
The impact of road traffic on the environment is practically determined by a calculation procedure. Reliable calculation results require reliable sources determination. The theme of this study was to prepare the noise ma...
BEHAVIOUR OF PLASMONIC NANOPARTICLE-GENERATED CAVITATION BUBBLES
The transient dynamics of cavitation nanobubbles generated through the irradiation of gold nanoparticles, via the particle's plasmonic resonance, very close to the threshold laser fluence for bubble formation, is investi...
HYSTERESIS IN THE SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS
This paper discusses the hysteretic behaviour of a shape memory strip under uniaxial tension. The generalized play hysteresis operator is coupled with the exponential evolution law of 1D constitutive model of the shape m...
