Developments in the field of earthquake engineering over the past few decades have
contributed to the development of new methods for evaluating the risk levels in buildings …

A probabilistic assessment is performed using different seismic fragility analysis approaches
for structures under non-stationary stochastic ground motions. Four commonly used …

This study focuses on scoring, selecting, and developing physical fragility (ie, the probability
of reaching or exceeding a certain damage state given a specific hazard intensity) and/or …

A procedure is presented for deriving low‐complexity structural models to predict the global
response of asymmetric‐plan low‐rise frame buildings for purposes of class‐level …

This study analyzes the progression, utilization, and inherent challenges of traditional non-
linear static procedures (NSPs) such as the capacity spectrum method, the displacement …

This paper proposes surrogate models (or metamodels) mapping the parameters controlling
the dynamic behaviour of inelastic single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDoF) systems (ie, force …

This paper investigates a number of computational issues related to the use of nonlinear
static procedures in fragility analysis of structures. Such approaches can be used to …

This paper presents a procedure to design reinforced concrete (RC) buildings to achieve an
acceptable target level of earthquake‐induced loss (eg, deaths, dollars, downtime) under a …

This study proposes a practical fragility-oriented approach for the seismic retrofit design of
case-study structures. This approach relies on mapping the increase of the global …

Conventional earthquake risk assessments use fragility and vulnerability models that are
based on seismic demands from individual (mainshock) ground motions, and implicitly …
