The lack of empirical data regarding earthquake damage or losses has propelled the
development of dozens of analytical methodologies for the derivation of fragility and …

This paper proposes a computational approach for the collapse assessment of
concentrically braced frames (CBFs) subjected to earthquakes. Empirical formulations for …

This state-of-the-art review comprehensively evaluates the seismic design and performance
assessment of concentrically braced frame (CBF) systems, specifically focusing on special …

Pulse‐like records are well recognized for their potential to impose higher demands on
structures when compared with ordinary records. The increased severity of the structural …

Numerical models of structural components that deteriorate primarily due to geometric
instabilities under multiaxis cyclic loading are sensitive to both the assumed geometric …

Special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs) are commonly used as the lateral‐load
resisting system in buildings. SCBFs primarily sustain large deformation demands through …

Steel X braces are used extensively to retrofit RC frames. When steel braces are added to
an existing RC frame, the load paths through which the lateral forces are transferred change …

The performance of building structures under abnormal loading conditions, such as blast
and impact, is of interest to researchers and engineers because of the possibility of …

This paper presents a hybrid deep learning methodology for seismic structural monitoring,
damage detection, and localization of instrumented buildings. The proposed methodology …

Cross concentrically braced frames (X‐CBFs) are commonly used as primary seismic
resisting system, owing to their large lateral stiffness, simplicity of design, and relatively low …
