Energy-Based Seismic Engineering Network

Mission

EBSENet is intended to promote the establishment of a permanent network of research centres in order to develop and disseminate new concepts in energy-based seismic engineering.

Seismic intensity

  • Energy-based intensity measures.
  • Energy-based ground motion prediction equations.

Seismic demand

  • Energy flow evaluation.
  • Energy-based engineering demand parameters and correlations with energy-based intensity measures.

Seismic capacity

  • Energy dissipation capacity of structural and non-structural elements.
  • Energy-based capacity assessment of structures.

Risk mitigation

  • Energy-based optimum design of viscous and hysteretic dampers.
  • Energy-based optimum design of seismic isolators.
