This paper is intended to contribute to improved accuracy and reliability of CFD simulations for displacement ventilation assessment.
The displacement-based assessment procedures in standards are based on the hypothesis of rigid block, which sometimes is unable to represent their actual behaviour; furthermore, very few information is available on dissipation, which is assumed as an equivalent viscous damping, usually kept constant to 5%.
This paper presents the application of a performance-displacement based assessment methodology to characterize the seismic response under several damage or performance-based scenarios of an earth dam.
The results of the ANOVA showed that significant factors for three-dimensional displacement were assessment site, dental formula, and loading point in the contact model, and assessment site and dental formula in the fixation model (p < 0.05) (Table 4).

The results of the ANOVA showed that significant factors for the three-dimensional displacement were assessment site, dental formula, and loading point in both the contact and fixation models (p < 0.05) (Table 5). Figure 10 Displacement in the inferior-superior direction (z-axis).
Furthermore, it presents critical factors in the displacement ductility assessment of HSC columns based on the outcomes of a research project in which a literature review was conducted on experimental data due to lateral load reversal loading for concrete with compressive strengths approximately more than 50 MPa and up to 130 MPa.
PRM carried out the DXA and air displacement plethysmography assessments, analysed the body composition data and helped to draft the manuscript.
First, a fluid structure interaction (FSI) model that is capable of capturing the unseating mode of failure is presented to evaluate bridge deck displacements for fragility assessment.
Conventional methods for displacement based condition assessment of bridges solely rely on the maximum level of displacements experienced by the piers, and do not take into account the accumulated damage that result from cyclic loading.
We have evaluated the method in terms of accuracy and precision of displacement measurements, simulation of traction force recovery, simulation of displacement noises effect, assessment of effects of FE mesh size, and simple bootstrapping.
