The minimum expected life-cycle cost decision rule leads to an optimal design for a risk-
neutral decision maker, but fails to incorporate the magnitude of uncertainty in the life-cycle …

Seismic isolation is effective in reducing seismic demand to buildings and mitigating seismic
damage costs. To corroborate this fact quantitatively by taking all possible seismic events …

It is well understood that many of civil projects require large sums of money annually to
preserve their assets during the operation phase. Operation and maintenance costs typically …

This study focuses on the optimal seismic design of buildings for the limited planning time
horizon considering earthquakes generated from Poisson and non-Poisson processes. The …

Earthquakes are among the most catastrophic natural disasters. Existing buildings
constructed in earthquake prone locations prior to 1970s generally do not meet the criteria of …

Les cartes de risques sismiques quantitatives utilisées pour le Code national du bâtiment
des années 1970 ont été évaluées en utilisant la méthode Davenport–Milne. La méthode …

The seismic design of conventional structures is mainly addressed considering the direct
construction cost; the life cycle costs (LCCs) are often neglected. This paper proposes a …

The maximum expected monetary benefit or minimum expected cost rule are often adopted
to assess the optimum structural design levels under infrequent large earthquakes. In the …

In an optimal seismic design context, the seismic demand is characterized by hazard curves
that can be obtained by simulation techniques, and the capacity of the structure is …

Describimos la desagregación del peligro sísmico con base en un modelo aplicable a una
región de la costa del Pacífico Mexicano, tomando en cuenta las zonas de fuentes sísmicas …
