Many studies have been performed to put quantifying uncertainties into the seismic risk
assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. This paper provides a risk-assessment …

Complexity and unpredictability nature of earthquakes makes them unique external loads
that there is no unique formula used for the prediction of seismic responses. Hence, this …

Nowadays, due to improvements in seismic codes and computational devices, retrofitting
buildings is an important topic, in which, permanent deformation of buildings, known as …

The permanent deformation of the building after seismic excitations can be determined by
the Maximum Residual Interstory Drift Ratio (MR-IDR), which may be used for measuring the …

Unpreventable constructional defects are the main issues in the case of steel Moment-
Resisting Frames (MRFs) that mostly occur in the rigidities of beam-to-column connections …

This research is focused on the development and experimental validation of a novel double-
stage yield steel slit damper-buckling restrained brace (SSD-DYB) system designed for …

Nowadays, to improve the performance of conventional bracing systems, in which, buckling
in the pressure loads is the main disadvantage, the buckling-restrained brace (BRB) is …

This paper explores the seismic fragility assessment of historical masonry buildings in the
context of performance-based earthquake engineering, using multiple-record incremental …

Since progressive collapse usually has serious consequences, the problem of progressive
collapse resistance has gradually become a topical issue in recent years. However, most of …

This research presents an efficient computational method for retrofitting of buildings by
employing an active learning-based ensemble machine learning (AL-Ensemble ML) …
