This paper gives a review of seismic damage indices, with particular reference to their use in
retrofit decision making. Damage indices aim to provide a means of quantifying numerically …

This article reviews the ground motion parameters than can be assumed as structural and
non‐structural damage measures. Measures of seismic damage potential based on ground …

Five half-scale interior beam-column assemblies representing a portion of a frame subjected
to simulated seismic loading were tested, including one monolithic specimen and four …

The behaviour of the EPP‐SDOF model under seismic actions is analysed herein by
different 'damage functionals' to define collapse under cyclic loading. In particular, the …

An analytical modeling scheme is developed to assess the damage-ability of reinforced
concrete buildings experiencing inelastic behavior under earthquake loads. The structural …

In this paper, a method is proposed in order to obtain a simplified representation of
hysteretic and input energy spectra. The method is based on the evaluation of the equivalent …

This paper documents investigations of the fatigue behaviour of strong burst-prone coal in
terms of energy dissipation, hysteresis and micro-seismicity. The energy dissipation …

In the course of the long-term service of high-speed railway slab tracks, the diverse range of
loading types and long-time characteristics can result in material property deterioration and …

A framework to derive state‐dependent fragility relationships of structures subjected to
ground‐motion sequences (eg mainshock‐aftershock (MS‐AS) or triggered earthquakes) is …

This review clarifies the basic concepts involved in defining seismic damage indices for
reinforced concrete buildings, and critically reviews the different schemes for classifying …
