This book is a state-of-the-art report on the ductility of steel structures, containing a
comprehensive review of the technical literature available, and presenting the results of the …

A relatively simple nonlinear method for the seismic analysis of structures (the N2 method) is
presented. It combines the pushover analysis of a multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) model …

By means of a graphical procedure, the capacity spectrum method compares the capacity of
a structure with the demands of earthquake ground motion on it. In the present version of the …

The role of soil-structure interaction (SSI) in the seismic response of structures is reex-plored
using recorded motions and theoretical considerations. Firstly, the way current seismic …

Earthquake Seismic isolation plays an important role in achieving sustainable earthquake
resilience communities. Seismic isolation method is a justified, mature, and reliable …

Inerter-based vibration absorbers (IVAs), such as the tuned-mass-damper-inerter (TMDI),
have become popular in recent years for the earthquake protection of building structures …

We present a methodology for conducting a site-specific probabilistic analysis of fault
displacement hazard. Two approaches are outlined. The first relates the occurrence of fault …

Empirical equations are presented for the prediction of displacement response ordinates for
damping ratios of 2, 5, 10, 20 and 30% of critical and for response periods up to 4s, using …

Using selected sets of high-quality digital strong motion data from different regions (Taiwan,
Japan, Italy, and Greece), the salient features of displacement response spectra in the long …

The development of displacement-based approaches to assessment and design has
created the need for reliable displacement response spectra for a wide range of response …
