The aleatory and epistemic uncertainties coming from various sources have significant
impacts on the accuracy of risk estimates for structures under dynamic excitations. This …

Although the current seismic design of buildings ensures collapse resistance, repairs after
disasters are time-consuming and costly. High performance structures and reliable design …

Slender buildings are prone to vortex-induced vibrations and turbulence-induced buffeting.
Usually, vortex-induced vibrations govern the strength and serviceability design criteria. The …

This paper presents an efficient two-stage optimization approach to the design of steel-
concrete composite I-girder bridges. In the first step, a simplified structural model, usually …

Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) can be efficiently used to quantify wind-induced damage on
a tall building. The LCCA selects an “optimal” design solution by minimizing over structural …

The application of performance-based design (PBD) is gaining increasing interest in the
wind engineering community. A popular design approach to minimize wind induced …

In this paper a method to efficiently evaluate the reliability of elastic-perfectly plastic
structures is proposed. The method is based on combining dynamic shakedown theory with …

Performance-based design optimization (PBDO) aims to design safe, resilient, and cost-
effective structures. Methods used for PBDO have evolved by integrating numerical …

Structural performance against wind hazards is necessary in modern tall building design. In
current wind engineering practice, most efforts focus on structural safety, such as the …

Tall buildings with irregular shapes and considerable heights are gaining popularity in
creating the vertical cities around the world. They also considered one of the major energy …
