The behavior of base-isolated buildings under near-fault (NF) ground motions with fling-step
and forward-directivity characteristics is investigated using three-dimensional nonlinear …

Most non-parametric methods to extract the fragility curves are based on simulated records
which not only can impose additional computational efforts, but also may not represent …

Closely spaced tall buildings are common in modern urban areas due to limited supply of
land to accommodate rapid growth of population. These buildings are vulnerable in …

In this study, a simplified method is proposed to generate collapse fragility curves for low-
rise reinforced concrete special moment resisting frame (SMRF) systems. Capacity curves …

A five-story moment frame structural model with a base isolation system was tested on a
shaking table. The isolation system comprised both linear natural rubber bearing (LNR) and …
