Dams are critical infra-structures whose their failure could leads to high economic and social
consequences. For this reason, application of quantitative risk analysis has gained …

Given the recent impetus for probabilistic based analyses of dams, and the limited previous
attempts to address this timely question, there is a need for a comprehensive assessment of …

A consistent seismic hazard and fragility framework considering combined capacity-demand
uncertainties is proposed, in light of the probability density evolution method (PDEM). The …

It is desirable that nonlinear dynamic analyses for structural fragility assessment are
performed using unscaled ground motions. The widespread use of a simple dynamic …

Cloud Analysis is based on simple regression in the logarithmic space of structural response
versus seismic intensity for a set of registered records. A Bayesian take on the Cloud …

Alternative non‐linear dynamic analysis procedures, using real ground motion records, can
be used to make probability‐based seismic assessments. These procedures can be used …

The estimation of building fragility, ie, the probability function of seismic demand exceeding
a certain limit state capacity given the seismic intensity, is a common process inherent in any …

This paper presents an extensive parametric study on the inelastic response of eight
reinforced concrete (RC) planar frames which are subjected to forty five sequential ground …

Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) has been extended by introducing a set of structural
models in addition to the set of ground motion records which is employed in IDA analysis in …

This paper addresses the probabilistic seismic demand model (PSDM) which is the
relationship between the intensity measure (IM)(such as spectral acceleration) and the …
