Adoption of new structural systems is hampered by the lack of a comprehensive method to evaluate their seismic performance. This report introduces a seismic performance evaluation procedure and demonstrates its application for the suspended zipper braced frame. The ABSTRACT The use of scientific visualization to represent the solutions obtained in computational science and engineering is discussed. The short-and long-term needs of those who use visualization tools and those who create them are addressed. For the user a

ABSTRACT A PEER-sponsored workshop on the nonlinear cyclic load-deformation behavior of shallow foundations was held at UC Davis on March 2003. This report contains all of the documents distributed for discussion prior to that workshop and closes
Validity threats in empirical software engineering research -an initial survey.

Software Engineering (SE) is a field without too much historic background. The youth of the SE discipline is resulted in an immaturity of this research field and SE research still lacks suitable scientific precision. Moreover, in SE research there are several objects of study with
An Approach to the Integration of Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods in Software Engineering Research .

Two distinct research methods coexist in SE: quantitative methods, which seek to measure and analyze causal relationships between variables in a framework with free values, and qualitative methods, which examine the process of creating meanings from which new or
Empirical software engineering research on libre software: Data sources, methodologies and results

P Tothong, CA Cornell- University of California, Berkeley 169.229.192.189 In performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE), evaluating the seismic performance (or seismic risk) of a structure at a designated site has gained major attention, especially in the past decade. One of the objectives in PBEE is to quantify the seismic reliability of a
