Natural hazards foster the need for resilience in the built environment, but resilient structures
must not interfere with sustainability. The potential trade-offs are increasingly being …

Performance-based design optimization (PBDO) aims to design safe, resilient, and cost-
effective structures. Methods used for PBDO have evolved by integrating numerical …

This paper investigates the optimal design of steel moment-resisting frame (MRF) buildings,
with and without metallic yielding dampers, using a life-cycle cost (LCC)-based optimal …

Seismic consequences estimation for individual buildings is valuable for various
stakeholders, including government entities, building owners, and insurers. The robustness …

This paper uses the value-based seismic design methodology to optimize the mechanical
and geometrical properties of triple friction pendulum bearings (TFPBs). An optimization …

This study proposes an efficient risk‐targeted framework for integrated optimal seismic
design and quantifying target safety of Special Moment‐Resisting Frames (SMRFs) with …

This paper employs the framework of value-based seismic design to optimize the
geometrical and mechanical properties of lead rubber bearings (LRBs). An optimization …

The performance of community building portfolios under extreme events is increasingly
been assessed in terms of socioeconomic and environmental consequences. These …

Structures must have a reasonable seismic safety margin in order to ensure life-safety as
well as to prevent structural collapse caused by earthquakes. On the other hand, the cost …

Observations from past earthquakes have highlighted the structural damage and significant
residual deformations experienced by ductile steel seismic force-resisting systems (SFRSs) …
