In this paper, empirical fragility curves for reinforced concrete buildings are derived, based
on post-earthquake damage data collected in the aftermath of earthquakes occurred in Italy …

Seismic fragility and vulnerability assessment is an essential step in the evaluation of
probabilistic seismic risk. Ideally, models developed and calibrated for the building portfolio …

Predicting damage grade and rehabilitation interventions is important, especially in the
aftermath of moderate to strong earthquakes as prioritization of post-earthquake housing …

Nonstructural components typically are not designed for seismic loads, yet their behavior
can affect the postearthquake building functionality significantly. Nonstructural damage …

The seismic peak interstory drift ratio (IDR) of RC columns following an earthquake is
measured in this paper through surface crack image analysis. The succolarity, lacunarity …

This study investigates the seismic behavior of eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) taking
into account the influence of masonry infill walls using a nonmodel scenario-based machine …

The analysis of the behaviour of masonry infills under out-of-plane (OOP) and in-plane (IP)
loading is paramount to correctly assess the seismic performance of reinforced concrete …

A set of about 25,000 residential reinforced concrete (RC) buildings has been investigated
in this study to define fragility curves. The sample originates from a wide database, reported …

An important decision in seismic risk assessment involves a good choice of intensity
measure (IM) used to describe ground motion intensity. Depending on the structural …

Modern seismic design and the retrofitting of buildings necessarily need to account for
expected economic losses. Available refined and simplified procedures implemented in …
