The satisfactory 'collapse prevention'performance level of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings
has been widely recognized during recent earthquakes in Chile. However, there is limited …

This paper investigates various performance measures to assess the seismic resilience of
low-to-high-rise multistory RC shear wall and steel dual concentrically braced buildings as …

In Chile, office buildings are typically reinforced concrete (RC) structures whose lateral load-
resisting system comprises core structural walls and perimeter moment frames (ie, dual wall …

This paper examines the effects of near-field pulse-like earthquake ground motions (GMs)
on the seismic resilience, repair cost and time, and structural collapse risk of low-to-high-rise …

Performance-based design has been increasingly used in practice due to computational
improvements, the sophistication and dissemination of nonlinear analysis methods, and the …

This paper investigates the selection of the appropriate retrofitting option for a steel school
building based on the resilience index with FEMA P-58 methodology and considers different …

This study presents a framework for assessing the seismic performance of a pile-supported
wharf at different seismic hazard levels. A refined Three-Dimensional (3D) Finite Element …

This paper presented an innovative numerical modelling method for bolt-connected precast
wall panels, and a three-dimensional finite element (FE) model based on a full-scale two …

Presently, the occurrence of frequent earthquakes worldwide is becoming a noteworthy
problem. Hospital buildings are one of the important structures in the living society as they …
