Several design codes consider the non-linear response of a building by using one of the
most important seismic parameters, called the response reduction factor (R). The lack of a …

The selection of an adequate response reduction factor (R) in the seismic design of a
reinforced concrete building is critical to the building's seismic response. To construct a …

The importance of performance based design lies with detailed examination of the seismic
performance of a structure in terms of its desired performance levels, damage ratio's and …

Resilience is an appropriate criterion for evaluating the ability of a structural system to
reduce the probability of damage caused by an event. To date, the seismic resilience of …

In the seismic design of a reinforced concrete building, selecting appropriate response
reduction factor (R) is vital for the building's seismic response. Indian Standard (IS) 1893 …

Assessing the robustness of structures accurately provides structural engineers with
important information about constructed or designed buildings. The purpose of this research …

In high seismicity regions, the use of unreinforced masonry (URM) infills in reinforced
concrete buildings is massive. In most of them, the openings in URM infills due to …
