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 …

Robust seismic vulnerability assessment for a building under expected earthquake ground
motions necessitates explicit consideration of all-important sources of uncertainty in …

This study applies nonlinear dynamic analyses to assess the risk of collapse of RC special
moment-frame (SMF) buildings to quantify the seismic safety implied by modern building …

Assessing the probability of collapse is a computationally demanding component of
performance‐based earthquake engineering. This paper examines various aspects involved …

A state‐of‐the‐art seismic performance assessment is illustrated through application to a
reinforced‐concrete moment‐frame building designed per current (2003) building code …

This study is the second of two companion papers to examine the seismic collapse safety of
reinforced concrete frame buildings, and examines nonductile moment frames that are …

Several performance measures are being used in modern seismic engineering applications,
suggesting that seismic performance could be classified a number of ways. This paper …

The last decade or so has seen the development of refined performance-based earthquake
engineering (PBEE) approaches that now provide a framework for estimation of a range of …

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

The “strength” of an earthquake ground motion is often quantified by an intensity measure
(IM), such as peak ground acceleration or spectral acceleration at a given period. This IM is …
