The assessment of the seismic performance depends on the choice of the earthquake
Intensity Measure (IM). During the past years many IMs, which take into account not only …

The lack of empirical data regarding earthquake damage or losses has propelled the
development of dozens of analytical methodologies for the derivation of fragility and …

Current fully probabilistic approaches to performance-based earthquake engineering
describe structures' behavior under a wide range of seismic hazard levels. These …

The advantages and disadvantages of using scalar and vector ground motion intensity
measures (IMs) are discussed for the local, story-level seismic response assessment of …

The role of ground motion duration on the seismic performance of building structures
remains unclear. This paper presents results on the effects of ground motion duration on the …

The efforts of this study are to address an essential technical issue in construction and civil
engineering, namely predicting the deflection of reinforced concrete beams. Indeed, six new …

A comparative seismic loss analysis is presented for a non-ductile infilled reinforced
concrete building evaluating the influence on direct economic losses of different parameters …

Present building-specific loss assessment state-of-art involves the convolution of seismic
hazard and building seismic demands. The latter is conditioned on spectral acceleration, Sa …

This paper presents a methodology for probabilistic hazard assessment for the multi-hazard
seismic and tsunami phenomena [probabilistic seismic and tsunami hazard analysis …

This paper proposes a reliability-based framework for quantifying structural robustness
