Over the past decade there have been various studies on the development of seismic
design maps using the principle of “risk-targeting”. The basis of these studies is the …

Force‐based seismic design involves the reduction of elastic spectra by introducing a
behavior factor, q. This approach is widespread in engineering practice; however, recent …

The current design approach recommended by seismic codes is often based on the use of
uniform-hazard response spectra, reduced to account for inelastic structural behaviour. This …

Decision models for the verification of seismic collapse safety of buildings are introduced.
The derivations are based on the concept of the acceptable (target) annual probability of …

The design of structures depends on the performance requirements that are usually defined
through structural codes for single units. This approach may not be optimal because major …

ObjectiveThe needs of people with disabilities are not taken into account during disasters,
and there is no or little preparation for them. Hence, such people are very anxious about …

Most building design codes distinguish structural reliability levels in terms of failure
consequences, for which they normally define consequence classes based on building type …

The seismic exposure of urban areas today is much higher than centuries ago. The 2020
Zagreb earthquake demonstrated that European cities are vulnerable even to moderate …

The risk‐targeted seismic design framework is used to set design intensities, based on
achieving a target risk level (eg, collapse or fatality risk) with respect to an assumed building …
