Despite the recent initiatives and developments in building design provisions using
performance-based design, practicing engineers frequently adopt force-based design …

In this study, the seismic behavior of regular and irregular composite moment resisting frame
(CMRF) buildings was investigated. To this aim, 5, 8, 10, 13 and 15-story CMRFs having …

This paper reports on a study performed on steel moment-resisting frame buildings with the
aim of evaluating the safety margins against collapse of buildings designed according to …

The paper deals with the seismic retrofit of a multiple building structure belonging to the
Hospital Centre of Avellino (Italy). At first, the paper presents the preliminary investigations …

Since the 2004 release of the European seismic code–Eurocode 8, various improvements
have been proposed to its rules. The standard is being revised and, in its current revised …

The main objective of the paper is the development and evaluation of a multi-mode
pushover procedure for the approximate analysis of the seismic response of steel moment …

The main objective of the research presented in this paper is to assess the influence of a
more rational selection of the behaviour factor (q) for the seismic design of steel moment …

An adaptive version of the capacity spectrum method is proposed to estimate deformation
demands of steel moment-resisting frames under seismic loads. Its computational …

The paper investigates the dynamic characterisation, the numerical model tuning and the
seismic risk assessment of two monumental masonry towers located in Italy: the Capua …

This study aims to assess the effect of nonlinear modeling approaches used for frame
elements while appraising the seismic performance of the composite moment resisting …
