Given the devastating losses incurred by past major earthquake events together with the
ever-increasing global seismic exposures due to population growth and urbanization …

It is desirable that nonlinear dynamic analyses for structural fragility assessment are
performed using unscaled ground motions. The widespread use of a simple dynamic …

Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) leads to curves expressed in terms of structural
response versus intensity, commonly known as the IDA curves. It is known that …

In the current stage, the risk-guided performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE)
has become the main direction in the earthquake community. As an important part of risk …

To investigate the seismic cumulative failure effect (SCFE) of a reservoir bank rock slope, the
dynamic displacement response of the slope was analysed using shaking table tests. A …

Damage may accumulate in structures that are exposed to multiple earthquakes, mitigating
their ability to withstand after future ground shaking. Several recent studies have focused on …

Many earthquakes have indicated that the mainshock-damaged structures may be more
vulnerable to severe damage and collapse during the subsequent aftershocks. This …

To eliminate the limitations of the deterministic analysis approach currently used for seismic
safety evaluation of dams, this paper introduces a novel framework for analyzing the safety …

Most of existing steel multi-storey frames in Europe have been designed before the
introduction of modern seismic design provisions, hence they often exhibit low performance …

In performance‐based earthquake engineering, the suitability of an intensity measure (IM) is
expressed through its efficiency and sufficiency. An efficient IM leads to a small record‐to …
