Due to the 2017 Pohang earthquake, many low-rise piloti buildings suffered minor to severe
damage. Low-rise piloti buildings in Korea are generally both vertically and horizontally …

Actualmente en las zonas sísmicas existen estructuras altamente vulnerables, puesto que
han sido construidas sin seguir las especificaciones de normas de diseño sismorresistente …

Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings are one of the most common constructions all
around the world, but they are significantly prone to structural damage in case of …

Seismic risk analyses at large scale represents a fundamental support to effective mitigation
policies. Evaluating fragility curves able to capture the huge variety of existing buildings is …

Between the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, Barcelona was
expanded, occupying the terrains connecting the old walled city and the nearby towns of the …

Uncertainty in the seismic fragility assessment framework involves two basic sources
including irreducible aleatoric and inherent epistemic uncertainties. The aleatoric …

Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings with open ground storey (OGS) are characterized by
accumulation of large lateral displacement at the ground storey. This is due to drastic …

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how assessment of seismic vulnerability can be
effective in protection against earthquakes. Findings are reported from a case study in a …

The steel plate shear wall with self-centering energy dissipation braces (SPSW-SCEDB) is a
new seismic lateral resistant component. This paper outlines the performance requirements …

Con el propósito de gestión, el riesgo se define como las consecuencias económicas,
sociales y ambientales potenciales de eventos peligrosos que pueden ocurrir en un período …
