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

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 …

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

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

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 …

The estimation of building fragility, ie, the probability function of seismic demand exceeding
a certain limit state capacity given the seismic intensity, is a common process inherent in any …

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

Modern societies and economies become more complex and at the same time more
sophisticated. Still, the experience from earthquakes reveals that even the developed …

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 …

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 …
