Behaviour of three-dimensional concrete structures under concurrent orthogonal seismic excitations

Behaviour of three-dimensional concrete structures under concurrent orthogonal seismic excitations

This thesis is a study into the response and seismic safety of three-dimensional multi-storey concrete structures under concurrent orthogonal seismic excitations. It employs the nonlinear time-history method as its analysis tools. Time-history analyses rely heavily on their utilised earthquake recor...
