In this paper, spectral-shape-based intensity measures (IMs) are discussed with respect to
ordinary, pulse-like and narrow-band records. First, the analyses address the ability of these …

This paper presents a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of the research carried out on
the energy-based structural seismic design methods. Since earthquake exerts energy to the …

A practical approach to explain the consequences of seismic hazards for society and
decision making organisations is predicting the seismic risk. In this regard, the Probabilistic …

Structures located in seismically active regions may be subjected to mainshock–aftershock
sequence-type ground motions, which are characterized by the presence of strong …

Seismic fragility of steel frames subjected to narrow-band motions from soft-soils of Mexico
City (Mexico) is evaluated by means of a set of vector-valued ground motion intensity …

Energy input spectra applicable to the seismic design of structures in moderate-to-high
seismicity regions are proposed. Such design inputs are derived from the bilinear envelope …

Aftershocks can increase building vulnerability and decrease life-safety of the residents;
nevertheless, no practical design method has yet been considered the seismic risk of …

Ample research effort has been oriented into developing damage indices with the aim of
estimating in a reasonable manner the consequences, in terms of structural damage and …

This paper presents the main results of the evaluation of residual inter‐story drift demands in
typical moment‐resisting steel buildings designed accordingly to the Mexican design …

A procedure for the structural assessment of the preliminary design of earthquake-resisting
structures has been proposed. The reliability-based procedure takes into account explicitly …
