Seismic intensity measures are essential quantitative parameters for evaluating and
predicting engineering structures' seismic risk and vulnerability. Various regional …

The US consensus standard for seismic evaluation and retrofit of existing buildings,
ASCE/SEI 41, establishes provisions for seismic analysis procedures that vary in complexity …

Abstract The existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings stock is often characterized by a
significant seismic vulnerability, due to the absence of capacity design principles, even in …

Concrete is a widely used building material known for its cost-effectiveness and high
resistance compared to alternative materials. However, uncertainties in the casting process …

When building groups are subjected to earthquakes, the potential hazard of exterior falling
debris poses a significant risk of causing severe injuries and fatalities. In this study, an …

Squat reinforced concrete shear walls are commonly used as primary gravity and lateral
load–resisting systems in structures. Such low aspect ratio walls respond to load in diagonal …

This study employs a non-linear static analysis, known as pushover analysis, to explore the
flexural-compressive behavior of complex shear walls within a reinforced concrete (RC) …

Seismic-resistant design incorporates measures to ensure that structures perform
adequately under specific limit states, focusing on seismic forces derived from both the …

Backbone curves were generated from previous physical lab tests conducted on identical
full-scale RC components utilizing different loading protocols (slab–beam–column and …

Although linear procedures are used more often than nonlinear procedures for the
comprehensive assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings according to ASCE 41 …
