This paper discusses the state-of-the-art of displacement-based seismic design (DBD)
methods and their applications to timber buildings. First, an in-depth review of the DBD …

The last decade or so has seen the development of refined performance-based earthquake
engineering (PBEE) approaches that now provide a framework for estimation of a range of …

Los sismos son desastres naturales que frecuentemente golpean a distintas regiones de
Latinoamérica, produciendo pérdidas de vidas humanas, daño en la infraestructura civil y …

Various loss assessment methodologies have been proposed and developed over the past
decades to provide risk assessment on a regional scale. There is an increasing need …

This paper presents a direct displacement-based design (DDBD) approach for the buckling
restrained braces (BRBs) braced glue-laminated timber (glulam) frame (BRBGF) structures …

This work focuses on the design trade-off aspects related to the structural behavior of tall
buildings subjected to the actions of wind and earthquake and on the feasibility of adopting …

This paper details a direct displacement-based design procedure for steel eccentrically
braced frame (EBF) structures and gauges its performance by examining the non-linear …

The complete microzonation and site response studies require the characterization of
subsurface materials considering local subsurface profiles of the site or region. The general …

ABSTRACT The Direct Displacement-Based Design of RC frame-wall systems in which the
walls carry a greater proportion of the overturning moment has been extensively studied in …

Seismic assessment of a building will typically require consideration of its nonlinear force–
displacement response. Such information can be estimated from pushover analysis, also …
