Probabilistic seismic demand analysis (PSDA) is the most time-and effort-intensive step in
risk-based assessment of the built environment. A typical PSDA requires subjecting the …

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

Shear fuses are structural elements that protect surrounding members from damages by
undergoing substantial yielding, and then are easily replaced after a major earthquake …

In this paper, two types of natural fibers (jute fiber and cotton fiber) were arranged in different
cross-section positions on natural fiber-reinforced epoxy composites (NFR-EC) by using a …

Most of the reinforced concrete buildings that have been constructed are not earthquake
resistant or have not sufficient and acceptable resistance. Therefore, these buildings need …

To further study the global seismic behaviour and post-earthquake reparability of RC
building frames with the proposed self-centring columns with low-bond high-strength …

This study addresses the limitations of current vulnerability assessment processes for tall
buildings, which fail to incorporate the effects of higher modes and the resulting structural …

In this paper, a formulation based on the moment–curvature diagrams was proposed to
calculate the effective flexural stiffness (EFS) of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced …

Structures' resistance against progressive collapse varies depending on their design and
taxonomy. However, despite numerous studies addressing the impact of geometric …

The accuracy of seismic risk-based evaluation depends on the selected seismic intensity
measures (IMs). The performance of the selected IM is commonly assessed based on …
