The importance of non-structural components in building performance under seismic action
is well recognized in the scientific community. Damage to residential buildings registered in …

Cloud Analysis is based on simple regression in the logarithmic space of structural response
versus seismic intensity for a set of registered records. A Bayesian take on the Cloud …

This study investigates the effects of ground-motion sequences on fragility and vulnerability
of reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting frames (MRFs). Two four-storey, four-bay RC …

Bridges are critical for transportation networks. Temporary closures due to poor
maintenance may trigger adverse cascading events, affecting economic and societal well …

In the aftermath of the M w 6.0 August 24, 2016 Central Italy earthquake, the authors carried
out a reconnaissance survey in the municipality of Amatrice and gathered extensive …

Past earthquakes have shown that seismic events may incur large economic losses in
buildings. FEMA P-58 provides engineers a practical tool for the performance seismic …

Different forms of hazard can affect structures throughout their existence. The occurrence of
a seismic event in areas exposed to different risks or already affected by other phenomena …

This study proposes a practical fragility-oriented approach for the seismic retrofit design of
case-study structures. This approach relies on map** the increase of the global …

The structural modeling uncertainty may be comparable to that of the ground motion
representation in the seismic assessment of existing buildings. This work aims to …

A simplified analytical method for the seismic fragility assessment of Reinforced Concrete
buildings at large scale is presented. The proposed method is based on a simulated design …
