ABSTRACT The project 'Cost-Effective Mitigation Strategy Development for Building Related
Earthquake Risk'under the Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre …

This study aims to assess the seismic performance of typical reinforced concrete buildings
constructed in Australia before the enforcement for seismic design. The response of both the …

Australia is in a region of low-to-moderate seismicity, but experiences a higher level of
seismic activity than other active intra-plate regions around the world. Because of the low …

In Australia, most of the existing buildings were designed before the release of the
Australian standard for earthquake actions in 2007. Therefore, many existing buildings in …

Financial risks due to catastrophic earthquakes can be severe. This is particularly applicable
to existing buildings that were constructed prior to modern seismic hazard maps and seismic …

RC buildings with infilled masonry are very common in Northeast India and neighbouring
countries like Nepal, along with open ground storey (OGS) buildings and bare framed …

This paper presents a uniform framework for seismic vulnerability assessment of selected
reinforced concrete (RC) structures in Malaysia based on an improved seismic vulnerability …

Earthquake action has only been considered in structural design in Australia since the early
1990s. With a very low building replacement rate many Australian buildings are vulnerable …

The vulnerability of low to medium rise reinforced concrete buildings in Australia that use
non-ductile reinforced concrete structural walls as the primary lateral force-resisting system …

This paper presents a summary of preliminary findings on critical earthquake risk detailing in
New Zealand's multi-storey building stock, derived from discussions with leading New …
