Multi-story, reinforced-concrete (RC) building structures with soft stories are highly
vulnerable to damage due to earthquake loads. The soft story causes a significant stiffness …

A study devoted to define the diaphragm condition using linear-elastic analyses for
structures with the most widely used floor systems in Mexico (two-way ribbed RC slabs …

The seismic behaviour of precast reinforced concrete industrial structures has been
extensively investigated in recent decades, especially after the damage caused by recent …

The assessment of seismic risk for critical and strategic structures like schools and hospitals
remains crucial, even in regions with low seismic activity. Presently, operational school …

This paper presents an appraisal of four nonlinear static procedures (CSM, N2, MPA and
ACSM) employed in seismic assessment of plan-irregular buildings. It uses a three storey …

This study investigates the inelastic torsional response of plan asymmetric ductile RC
buildings with a soft first story. The buildings of Rectangular, L, T, and U plan shapes are …

This paper experimentally investigated the in-plane behavior of a steel–concrete composite
frame slab under cyclic loading by considering the influence of the out-of-plane effect. A …

Soft stories in buildings are well-known to present structural vulnerabilities during seismic
events, and the failure of non-structural components (NSCs) has been evident in past …

Se presenta un estudio analítico en el intervalo elástico lineal, que evalúa el
comportamiento de diafragma de los sistemas de piso más ampliamente utilizados en …

ABSTRACT The employment of Nonlinear Static Procedures (NSP) in the seismic
assessment of existing structures (or design verification of new ones) has gained …
