Composite shear walls have emerged as an innovative and efficient solution for resisting
lateral loads in high-rise buildings. With the inclusion of these types of shear walls in various …

This paper presents a study on acceleration demands in single-storey reinforced concrete
(RC) buildings with flexible diaphragms, expressed through peak floor accelerations (PFAs) …

This review paper examines various aspects of seismic resilience, focusing on the behavior
and design criteria for buildings and lifeline systems in earthquake-prone areas. Beginning …

Seismic risk estimation for urban building clusters is essential when develo** regional
seismic resilience models. A masonry structure is a type of building with a large stock, broad …

The estimation of the seismic vulnerability of regional structures has contributed positively to
the development of seismic risk and resilience in large-scale building clusters. However, the …

Seismic protection of buildings using the Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) system
placed between the natural soil and the building foundation has recently emerged as an …

Empirical and probabilistic risk analysis methods can relatively accurately predict the
seismic vulnerability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Using various intensity …

In this study, nonlinear time‐history analyses are performed to assess the floor response
spectra of bare and infilled reinforced concrete framed buildings with different number of …

Multi-story, reinforced-concrete (RC) building structures with soft stories are highly
vulnerable to damage due to earthquake loads. The soft story causes a significant stiffness …

Non-structural elements play a crucial role in the overall seismic performance of buildings,
as has been largely demonstrated in recent earthquakes that have stuck densely populated …
