In the past decades, the research and development of methodologies have received
considerable attention which quantified earthquake-related damages to structures. Among …

Cities in the developing world are facing outstanding economic and human losses caused
by natural hazards such as earthquakes, and the amount of losses is affected by the quality …

Seismic fragility and vulnerability assessment is an essential step in the evaluation of
probabilistic seismic risk. Ideally, models developed and calibrated for the building portfolio …

This paper presents a novel hybrid-based methodology devoted to develop urban fragility
curves and damage probability matrices to predict likelihood seismic damage scenarios for …

The loss of life and economic consequences caused by several recent earthquakes
demonstrate the importance of developing seismically safe building codes. The …

This paper shows a novelty way to simulate the nonlinear behaviour of confined masonry
walls subjected to in-plane lateral loading by using a 3D macro-modelling approach. For this …

We propose the use of variable resolution boundaries based on Central Voronoi
Tessellations (CVT) to spatially aggregate building exposure models for risk assessment to …

House self-construction and self-management are very common in different cities in Peru,
which is the case in several areas in the district of San Miguel (Puno). This is due to the lack …

Earthquake investigations indicate that strong aftershocks can further aggravate the
structural damage and low attention has been given to understand the seismic performance …

School buildings being a critical social infrastructure, assessment of their seismic behaviour
is of utmost importance in ensuring safe schooling facilities in locations of high seismicity …
