We present a Bayesian model for the estimation of ground-motion models that allows one to
account for truncated data. Truncated data occurs in ground-motion model development …

A probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in terms of peak ground acceleration (PGA) and
spectral acceleration (SA) values, for both 10% and 5% probability of exceedance in 50 …

In the wake of the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Kobe earthquakes, structural designers
adopted performance-based engineering concepts instead of traditional deterministic …

In relation to its rapid infrastructure expansion, exemplified by projects like the Najran Valley
Dam or the rehabilitation of agricultural terraces, Saudi Arabia stands out among the …

This study emphasizes the role of active faults as seismogenic sources in probabilistic
seismic hazard assessments (PSHA) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). An extensive PSHA …

The Mexican subduction zone, the Gulf of California spreading center, as well as the triple
junction point around the Jalisco and the Michoacán Blocks, represents the most active …

A Nonlinear finite element model was developed to simulate the performance of geopolymer
concrete columns reinforced with fiberreinforced polymer (FRP) bars. The proposed model …

Seismic activity is typically mild to moderate in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). However,
because of its close proximity to seismically active areas like the Zagros-Biltis Fold Thrust …

Bridge modal properties can be identified upon processing of instrumentation
measurements (primarily accelerations). The required data processing is typically easily …

In the last two decades, the construction sector in UAE has been expanded to include a high
range of tall and supertall buildings. Geographically, this region is surrounded by multiple …
