This paper summarizes results of a comprehensive analytical study aimed at evaluating the
amplitude and heightwise distribution of residual drift demands in multi‐storey moment …

This study presents an evaluation of drift demands and their associated uncertainties for
nondeteriorating regular moment resisting frame structures subjected to ordinary ground …

Abstract On September 19 and 20, 1985, two strong subduction interface earthquakes struck
Mexico City leading to a large stock of damaged, or even collapsed, reinforced concrete …

Hysteretic energy dissipation in a structure during an earthquake is the key factor, besides
maximum displacement, related to the amount of damage in it. This energy demand can be …

The objective of this study was to propose a seismic design methodology for moment-
resisting frames to limit the extent of structural damage and distribute this damage uniformly …

This paper presents an analytical study aimed at evaluating the feasibility of using buckling-
restrained braces as a retrofit scheme for existing multi-bay multi-story steel buildings. For …

This paper presents the results of an investigation aimed at extending the Coefficient
Method for the seismic assessment of existing buildings built on very soft soil conditions. In …

The endurance time method (ETM) is a seismic analysis procedure in which intensifying
dynamic excitations are used as the loading function, and it provides many unique benefits …

Current seismic design codes do not contemplate explicitly some variables that are relevant
for the design of structures subjected to ground motions exhibiting large energy content …

New procedures are proposed for estimating the hysteretic energy demand distribution of
precast concrete frames using the shear-bending story model and energy spectra. An …
