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

To alleviate the consequential influences of earthquakes, many seismic performance
evaluation methods have been developed over the past century. Fragility assessment is an …

Fragility curves are commonly used in civil engineering to assess the vulnerability of
structures to earthquakes. The probability of failure associated with a prescribed criterion …

In the aftermath of a seismic event, decision-makers have to decide quickly among
alternative management actions with limited knowledge on the actual health condition of …

A scalar intensity measure (IM) could be insufficient to represent the earthquake intensity
and variety in fragility estimation. Introducing multiple IMs to conventional regression of …

There has been ongoing deliberation to arrive at promising retrofit strategies for pre-seismic
code reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Against this backdrop, the research reported in …

Background Seismic analysis of structures is required for the design of high-rise building as
these are hazards that threat the built environment and human life. However, it was …

This paper presents shake-table and numerical investigations to select a retrofit strategy for
reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures using fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) …

The current design approach recommended by seismic codes is often based on the use of
uniform-hazard response spectra, reduced to account for inelastic structural behaviour. This …

Current building codes aim to ensure the acceptable performance of structures implicitly.
Because these provisions are empirically developed for low‐to medium‐rise buildings, their …
