Abstract Design spectra are commonly defined for a constant value of hazard associated to
an “ultimate” limit state (LS) of reference, typically 10% in 50 years. Given a specific …

With the introduction of performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE), engineers
have strived to relate building performance to different seismic hazard levels. Expected …

In this paper, performance criteria for the seismic design of industrial liquid storage tanks
and piping systems are proposed, aimed at introducing those industrial components into a …

To maximize the potential of earthquake early warning (EEW) as a credible tool for seismic
resilience promotion, it should be combined with next‐generation decision‐support tools …

This paper proposes surrogate models (or metamodels) mapping the parameters controlling
the dynamic behaviour of inelastic single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDoF) systems (ie, force …

This paper presents a procedure to design reinforced concrete (RC) buildings to achieve an
acceptable target level of earthquake‐induced loss (eg, deaths, dollars, downtime) under a …

Recent efforts in the earthquake engineering community have focused largely on
developing a performance‐based earthquake engineering assessment methodology …

A risk‐targeted design spectral acceleration and the corresponding seismic design action for
the force‐based design of structures is introduced by means of two formulations. The first …

A principal aspect of seismic design is the verification of performance limit states, which help
ensure satisfactory behaviour within a performance‐based earthquake engineering …

The seismic performance of three‐and six‐story buildings with fluidic self‐centering system
is probabilistically assessed. The fluidic self‐centering systems consist of devices that are …
