Reinforced concrete frames with unreinforced masonry infill walls represent a widely
adopted building system. During seismic events, infill walls, usually considered as non …

Ground motion selection is one of the most important phases in the derivation of fragility
curves through non-linear dynamic analyses. In this context, an easy-to-use software …

Many studies have been performed to put quantifying uncertainties into the seismic risk
assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. This paper provides a risk-assessment …

Complexity and unpredictability nature of earthquakes makes them unique external loads
that there is no unique formula used for the prediction of seismic responses. Hence, this …

Robust seismic vulnerability assessment for a building under expected earthquake ground
motions necessitates explicit consideration of all-important sources of uncertainty in …

A novel approach for nonlinear stochastic dynamic analysis is proposed and illustrated with
nonlinear building structures subjected to mainshock–aftershock sequences. First, a …

Steel-concrete composite frames have been widely used in high-rise buildings. To improve
the utilization efficiency of the indoor area, irregular-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular …

This study examines the influence of ground motion duration on the collapse capacities of a
modern five-story steel moment frame and a reinforced concrete bridge pier. The effect of …

Reliable collapse assessment of structural systems under earthquake loading requires
analytical models that are able to capture component deterioration in strength and stiffness …

This paper investigates the performance of spectral acceleration averaged over a period
range (Saavg) as an intensity measure (IM) for estimating the collapse risk of structures …
