Seismic fragility and vulnerability assessment is an essential step in the evaluation of
probabilistic seismic risk. Ideally, models developed and calibrated for the building portfolio …

The lack of empirical data regarding earthquake damage or losses has propelled the
development of dozens of analytical methodologies for the derivation of fragility and …

Current fully probabilistic approaches to performance-based earthquake engineering
describe structures' behavior under a wide range of seismic hazard levels. These …

This study deals with selecting optimal seismic retrofit solutions for reinforced concrete (RC)
buildings. To this aim, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is implemented explicitly …

To assess the safety of structures after the occurrence of an earthquake or decide about
demolition or repair of structures, maximum residual interstory drift ratio (MRD) is one of the …

This paper investigates the trade-off between simplicity (modelling effort and computational
time) and result accuracy in seismic fragility analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) frames. For …

This paper focuses on the probabilistic analysis of Intensity Measures (IM s) and
Engineering Demand Parameters (EDP s) in the context of earthquake-induced ground …

Vulnerability functions describe the expected loss for a given ground shaking intensity level
and are an essential component in probabilistic seismic risk assessment. This manuscript …

This paper deals with the selection of optimal intensity measures (IMs) for displacement-
based seismic demand assessment and fragility derivation of case-study mid-rise reinforced …

A growing challenge in the seismic risk assessment of ageing existing bridge structures is
the lack of knowledge of the key features of the structural components. In fact, the …
