This work proposes a novel procedure to guide the development of machine learning
models for estimating the seismic demand in existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings …

This study focused on the performance evaluation of new brace designs that adopted steel
curved dampers with amplified-deformation mechanisms. A series of cyclic load tests on …

In the railway network of Iran, a large number of masonry arch bridges exist which most of
them was constructed 80 years ago. Despite these types of bridges have shown an …

In this paper, the applicability and validity of enhanced pushover procedures in estimating
the seismic demands of mid-and high-rise reinforced concrete (RC) building frames under …

Energy-based seismic design of structures has gradually become prominent in today's
structural engineering investigations because of being more rational and reliable when it is …

A new enhanced multi-modal pushover procedure based on the structural dynamic theory
with a straightforward and easy-to-use algorithm is developed in this study for estimating the …

Compared with non‐pulse‐like ground motions, pulse‐like ground motions are usually near‐
fault motions with forward directivity or fling‐step effect. These pulse‐like ground motions are …

In this paper, a fairly effective procedure called dynamic load pattern (DLP), is proposed to
account for the effects of near-fault ground motions in estimating the seismic demands of …

A procedure for simulating new pulse-like ground motion based on natural pulse-like ground
motion record is proposed. Firstly, an extraction method of pulse waveform based on …

The contribution of higher modes to the seismic responses of tall buildings is substantially
significant. In recent years, enhanced pushover analyses, developed to account for the …
