Due to the developments of computer science and technology in recent years, computer
models and numerical simulations for large and complicated structures can be done. Among …

To overcome the problem of outlier data in the regression analysis for numerical-based
damage spectra, the C4. 5 decision tree learning algorithm is used to predict damage in …

Despite the fact that the fundamental period appears to be one of the most critical
parameters for the seismic design of structures according to the modal superposition …

One of the most important parameters used in the frame design process is the fundamental
period. Numerous relationships are provided in the regulations and articles to determine the …

The elongation of the fundamental period of structure is a typical indicator of structural
inelasticity during seismic events and of consequent damage accumulation. This study …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are likely to experience damage when subjected to
earthquakes. Damage index (DI) has been recognised as an advanced tool of quantitatively …

Strong motion duration affects the cumulative damage of structures significantly. There are
more than 30 different definitions of strong motion duration. This study describes …

Period lengthening, exhibited by structures when subjected to strong ground motions,
constitutes an implicit proxy of structural inelasticity and associated damage. However, the …

This paper investigates the elongation of the fundamental period of reinforced concrete
buildings that occurs during earthquake loading and its correlation with various intensity …

In a seismic event, large number of aftershocks are generally triggered due to the complex
interaction within and between tectonic plates. Even though aftershocks are typically smaller …
