Developments in the field of earthquake engineering over the past few decades have
contributed to the development of new methods for evaluating the risk levels in buildings …

This paper presents a framework to develop generalizable surrogate models to predict
seismic vulnerability and environmental impacts of a class of buildings at a particular …

Probabilistic seismic demand analysis (PSDA) is the most time-and effort-intensive step in
risk-based assessment of the built environment. A typical PSDA requires subjecting the …

Current fully probabilistic approaches to performance-based earthquake engineering
describe structures' behavior under a wide range of seismic hazard levels. These …

This paper presents a novel method for estimating the seismic peak interstory drift ratio (IDR)
in reinforced concrete (RC) columns after an earthquake using surface crack image …

Shear fuses are structural elements that protect surrounding members from damages by
undergoing substantial yielding, and then are easily replaced after a major earthquake …

Buildings are central to the vitality of any community, and assessing their time-dependent
functionality following a hazard event is central to resilience quantification. Such an …

Adequate rebar-concrete bonding is crucial to ensure the reliable performance of reinforced
concrete (RC) structures. Many factors such as the concrete properties, concrete cover …

According to the observations of past earthquakes, the vertical ground motions have had a
striking influence on the engineering structures, especially reinforced concrete ones …

Concrete filled double skin steel tubular (CFDST) moment resisting frame is an effective
structural system owing to the higher strength to weight ratio and better fire performance …
