The Steel-ECBP database was assembled by prof. Sergio Villar-Salinas during his PhD studies in Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics at the Catalonian Polytechnic University. Sergio worked in all stages of the associated study, for instance in the multiple regression analysis to obtain the modelling parameters and predicting equations, and, the design and development of the present web-based tools (see the related published paper at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcsr.2024.109034). Dr. Amit Kanvinde has contributed on the research methodology, conducted some of the experimental tests reported, and, reviewed and validated the results and analysis. The contribution of Dr. Francisco López-Almansa was focused on the analysis and supervision as Sergio´s PhD supervisor.
Neither the filiation institutions of the aforementioned authors, nor other researchers who conducted experiments are responsible of the accuracy of the information presented in this site. Please, contact prof. Sergio Villar-Salinas (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sergiovillarsalinas/) for any comments or questions. The original publications should be cited as indicated in the database.
Sergio Villar-Salinas greatly appreciates the financial help of Fundación Carolina and Universidad Tecnológica de Bolívar during his PhD studies. Mrs. Diana Carrasquilla contributed in the development and implementation of the web-based interactive tools. Her contribution is greatly acknowledged. The authors also thank Mr. Sebastian Pacheco. for his help with the digitalizing of some curves of the database.
