A common goal of dynamic structural analysis is to predict the response of a structure
subjected to ground motions having a specified spectral acceleration at a given period. This …

This report describes a recommended methodology for reliably quantifying building system
performance and response parameters for use in seismic design. The recommended …

Robust seismic vulnerability assessment for a building under expected earthquake ground
motions necessitates explicit consideration of all-important sources of uncertainty in …

The tuned mass‐damper‐inerter (TMDI) is a recently proposed linear passive dynamic
vibration absorber for the seismic protection of buildings. It couples the classical tuned mass …

A primary goal of seismic design requirements of building codes is to protect the life safety of
building inhabitants during extreme earthquakes. First and foremost, this requires that the …

Earthquake-induced damage to the built infrastructure can generate enormous societal
impact, ranging from displacement of individual families and businesses to disruption of …

The primary goal of seismic provisions in building codes is to protect life safety through the
prevention of structural collapse. To evaluate the extent to which current and past building …

The influence of residual interstorey drifts on economic losses in building resulting from
earthquakes is examined. Current building‐specific loss estimation methodologies that …

This study applies nonlinear dynamic analyses to assess the risk of collapse of RC special
moment-frame (SMF) buildings to quantify the seismic safety implied by modern building …

With the increasing emphasis of performance‐based earthquake engineering in the
engineering community, several investigations have been presented outlining simplified …
