Asymmetric structures experience higher seismic damage compared with their symmetric
counterparts. This damage is mainly attributed to the coupled torsional vibrations, which …

This research explores the seismic damage response of a frame–shear wall reinforced
concrete structure exposed to progressive seismic excitations. The shear wall structure is a …

A rapid seismic damage state assessment of individual building is essential for a region-
scale risk and vulnerability assessment that requires significant manpower, time, and …

In the last years, the occurrence of natural hazards around the world has evinced the
necessity of having structural health monitoring schemes that can allow the continuous …

Traditional structural dynamics methods for calculating the natural vibration period and
mode shape of a structure are not ideal for structures with high natural frequencies. In …

The seismic response of mainshock-damaged buildings under aftershocks is an important
topic in terms of the lateral response of damaged structures. The majority of current seismic …

An innovative precast concrete column system, which is expected to be emulative to
conventional cast-in-situ columns, is proposed in this paper. In this system, short novel …

The main objective of this study is to assess the accuracy and applicability of static pushover
analysis (POA). The POA is widely used to estimate the structural seismic response due to …

Abstract A 10‐story reinforced‐concrete (RC) building was subjected to a shaking table test
using E‐Defense, the largest three‐dimensional earthquake simulator in the world, to …

This paper presents the shaking table tests for a 1/5-scale 5-story reinforced concrete (RC)
frame subjected to mainshock (MS)-aftershock (AS) sequences for investigating the …
