Earthquake is a natural disaster that severely threatens the safety of people. In
consequence, increasing the seismic resistance and resilience of civil infrastructures and …

This paper presents a comprehensive economic seismic loss assessment of emerging steel
frames incorporating different types of self-centering braces. Particular focus is on failure …

After a significant earthquake, the updated status of the structural elements is usually
determined based on a qualitative visual inspection. Although visual inspection provides a …

This paper discusses an analytical study that quantifies the expected earthquake‐induced
losses in typical office steel frame buildings designed with perimeter special moment frames …

Post‐earthquake reconnaissance survey of structural damage is an effective way of
documenting and understanding the impact of earthquakes on structures. This article aims at …

Earthquake-induced building collapses and casualties have been effectively controlled in
the last two decades. However, earthquake-induced economic losses have continued to …

This study focuses on the evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of the Italian roadway bridge
stock, within the framework of a Civil Protection sponsored project. A comprehensive …

In this paper, a probabilistic post-earthquake loss estimation methodology based on image
processing is proposed for non-seismically designed reinforced concrete moment frames …

In this paper, a methodology is developed for seismic damage identification of non‐ductile
reinforced concrete moment frames using surface crack images. A comprehensive database …
