Risk assessment and mitigation programs have been carried out over the last decades in
the attempt to reduce transportation infrastructure downtime and post-disaster recovery …

The paper describes the derivation of fragility curves useful for the seismic risk analyses of
existing unreinforced masonry buildings inserted in aggregate. The L-shaped examined …

Choosing friction pendulum isolators to avoid problems with device displacement capacity
or boundary wall collision is a critical part of the seismic design of base isolation systems …

With the introduction of performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE), engineers
