Endurance time (ET) method is a novel Time History Analysis‏‏(THA) approach in which
structures are subjected to a set of intensifying excitations called endurance time excitation …

A concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column has a bearing capacity with a relatively small
cross section. From the perspective of the assembly, a partially steel-reinforced precast …

Recent studies have indicated the need of considering aftershocks in the seismic
design/assessment of structures. This article investigates the effect of sequential mainshock …

Structures must have a reasonable seismic safety margin in order to ensure life-safety as
well as to prevent structural collapse caused by earthquakes. On the other hand, the cost …

Vehicle collision is occurred in the ground level of buildings accidentally or intentionally.
This event is a common scenario of generating structural damages. In some cases, these …

Diagrid structural systems have been brought into attention among architectures and
engineers during recent years due to high structural efficiency and aesthetic potentials …

In most cases, the normal or log-normal distributions are assumed for the recorded statistical
data in the process of fragility curve construction. This study aims to evaluate the validity of …

The eccentric bracing system equipped with vertical links is capable of providing high levels
of stiffness, strength and ductility, and therefore, can be efficiently used for seismic retrofit of …

Slack cable collapse prevention system is a cost-effective and simple method for seismic
upgrading of existing structures. In this study, the effectiveness of adding slack cables to 2, 4 …

A low-computational cost method is developed for seismic performance assessment of
tunnel-form concrete structures under earthquake sequences. Using incremental dynamic …
