RINA’s Post

An interesting review of PBEE development in the last century! I have good memories, from real engineering projects, of most of the guidelines and codes mentioned in this talk. The ASCE41 standard is one of the remarkable outputs of this journey!

Reposting this insightful summary from Jack P. Moehle’s keynote at #WCEE2024. His presentation on the integration of performance-based seismic design in structural engineering was both enlightening and essential for the industry. Moehle’s focus on innovative approaches to design, particularly in the context of modern seismic challenges, highlights the need for continuous evolution in our methodologies to enhance safety and resilience. #SeismicDesign #StructuralEngineering #EarthquakeEngineering

In 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake shook the San Francisco Bay Area, causing a partial collapse of the Bay Bridge. This tragic event highlighted critical vulnerabilities in infrastructures built around the early part of the 20th century and sparked advancements in seismic design and earthquake engineering. #Structuralengineering #seismicdesign #earthuakeengineering #baybridge #bridgecollapse #civilconstruction Discover the causes, immediate impact, and key lessons learnt in this article 🏗️💡 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dQ6cdWsi

How did critical structures perform following the 2023 earthquake sequence in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye? This Friday, April 5, SGH’s Onder Akinci, Riccardo Cappa, and Dolunay Oniz, EIT will share stories from their reconnaissance missions to Türkiye with the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI), Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and ASCE Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute (COPRI) to observe and collect data on the performance of hospitals, lifelines, and marine structures. Join them to hear lessons learned on the seismic response of critical infrastructure to help prepare for and recover from future events.
