Field Validation of Nonlinear Dynamic Simulation for Plan-Irregular RC Buildings: Insights from the 2024 Hualien Earthquake
This study evaluates the post-earthquake damage of a 17-story plan-irregular reinforced concrete (RC) building damaged during the 2024 Hualien earthquake. A three-dimensional numerical model was constructed in ETABS, utilizing nonlinear component characteristics derived from the mechanics-based Seismic Evaluation of RC...
