In the last decades, design optimization of structures received significant attention to
reconcile economic aspects, after the recent advances in computer technology. Many …

Wind-induced fatigue damage is a predominant factor eventuating in structural performance
degradation of transmission towers exposed to long-term environmental wind. Moreover …

This paper proposes a comprehensive wind-induced performance evaluation framework for
transmission tower-line systems (TTLSs) from both structural safety and normal operation …

The increasing severity and occurrence of multiple hazards attributed to climate change
exacerbate the failure risk of infrastructure systems. This paper proposes a Kriging-based …

Based on the first-order second-moment method, a comparative study on seismic fragility
analysis with consideration of modeling uncertainty is carried out for a 12-story reinforced …

In the framework of the probabilistic seismic response assessment of buildings, a key aspect
is the evaluation of the influence of uncertainties on the mean annual frequency of …

Seismic robustness can be a useful tool to evaluate the structural system capacity to
withstand seismic damages. Robust structures can minimize their vulnerability to the …

This paper describes the multivariate statistical model of the structure-related modelling
uncertainty, developed with reference to reinforced concrete, masonry, steel, and seismically …

This study is devoted to seismic performance assessment of optimally designed steel
moment frames (SMFs) in the framework of performance-based design (PBD). The …

The steel panel wall (SPW) has been proposed for strengthening mid-rise and high-rise
steel frame buildings. Compared with the steel plate shear wall (SPSW), the SPW is …
