Although Turkey is located in one of the active earthquake belts of the world, the 7.7 and 7.6
magnitude earthquakes that occurred on February 6, 2023, 9 h apart, as rarely seen in the …

Steel braced frames resist earthquake ground motion by undergoing several cycles of
inelastic deformation. These deformations include elongation under tension and buckling in …

This study presents an exposure model for the residential building stock in the Middle East,
developed for the purpose of multi-hazard risk assessment. The exposure model provides …

There has been ongoing deliberation to arrive at promising retrofit strategies for pre-seismic
code reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Against this backdrop, the research reported in …

Investing in disaster risk reduction and resilience-increasing strategies requires a
comprehensive understanding of multi-hazard risk. In this study, we assess the direct …

This paper presents shake-table and numerical investigations to select a retrofit strategy for
reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures using fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) …

A clear understanding of the spatial distribution of earthquake events facilitates the
prediction of seismicity and vulnerability among researchers in the social, physical …

Since reinforced concrete (RC) multistory shear wall (MSSW) buildings comprise an
essential part of modern urban built environments, it is vital to investigate the failure modes …

This experimental and numerical study proposes hybrid retrofit alternatives involving
multiple contemporary techniques to upgrade the fundamental seismic response …

Abstract Concentric Braced Frames (CBFs) are commonly used for lateral load resistance in
buildings. Buckling, however, is a significant concern for CBFs where they lose their strength …
