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.

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE QUASISTATIC CONTACT PROBLEM WITH DAMAGE
This paper deals with the numerical analysis of a quasistatic contact problem with friction between an elastic body and a rigid obstacle. The contact is frictional and is modeled with a version of normal compliance condi...
MECHANICAL WORK REDUCTION DURING MANIPULATION TASKS OF A PLANAR 3-DOF MANIPULATOR
The problem addressed in this paper concerns a planar 3-DOF manipulator operating in horizontal plane, that must move from an initial position characterized by angles θ1(0), θ2(0) and θ3(0) to a required final position c...
SCENARIOS FOR CHECKING THE PROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE OF REINFORCED CONCRETE DUAL SYSTEM FOR BUILDINGS
The objective of the study is a building structure, made of reinforced concrete in a dual system. The structure is a theoretical one but the dimensioning and the considered loads complies the technical regulations in for...
THIN FILMS FLOW DRIVEN BY GRAVITY AND A SURFACE TENSION GRADIENT
The flow of a thin layer on a horizontal plate in the lubrication approximation is considered. The flow is driven simultaneously by gravity and some gradients of surface tension. These gradients imply a non-zero tangenti...
INFLUENCE OF LANTHANUM DOPING ON THE STRUCTURAL, MORPHOLOGICAL AND THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF NICKEL FERRITE
Lanthanum doped nickel ferrite – NiFe1-δLaδO4 has been synthesised by solid state reaction using nickel and iron oxides (NiO and Fe2O3) and lanthanum hydroxide (La(OH)3). The samples have been investigated by X-ray diffr...
