Whereas the potential of static inelastic analysis methods is recognised in earthquake
design and assessment, especially in contrast with elastic analysis under scaled forces, they …

The vertical component of earthquake ground motion has generally been neglected in the
earthquake-resistant design of structures. This is gradually changing due to the increase in …

In this paper, a methodology is suggested and tested for evaluating the relative performance
of conventional and adaptive pushover methods for seismic response assessment. The …

The paper examines the requirements for inelastic static and dynamic analysis applied to
earthquake design and assessment. Conventional pushover, with various load distributions …

In this study, the seismic design and performance of composite steel-concrete frames are
discussed. The new Eurocode 4 [EC4, Eurocode No 4. Design of composite steel and …

In contrast to the worldwide rapid growth of high-rise buildings, no probabilistic assessment
procedures have been proposed or developed for seismic risk evaluation of this special …

The seismic performance of low-rise frames with energy dissipative semirigid connections is
evaluated under far and near field artificial ground motion records. Four different connection …

Recent earthquakes have revealed major seismic deficiencies in these buildings, some of
which led to catastrophic collapses and significant death tolls. Causes for the unsatisfactory …

In this thesis, an adaptive pushover method is suggested, which takes into account mode
interaction at instantaneous states of inelasticity and automatically updates the lateral load …

A majority of Iranian residential buildings have RC frame structures which are in-filled with
masonry walls. Structural deficiencies of in-filled RC frame structures are focused in this …
