An unreinforced masonry (URM) structure damaged by a strong earthquake may be
threatened by subsequent aftershocks in an unrepaired state. However, there is no …

Earthquake investigations indicate that strong aftershocks can further aggravate the
structural damage and low attention has been given to understand the seismic performance …

The seismic response of mainshock-damaged buildings under aftershocks is an important
topic in terms of the lateral response of damaged structures. The majority of current seismic …

Strain hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) as a newly emerging material has bright
application prospect with good ductility and multiple microcracking behaviors. Combining …

Bidirectional analyses covering a range of incidence angles for several records are
essential yet challenging for routine design. Recent studies have shown that the response to …

Aftershocks have the potential to further aggravate the damage of masonry structures
caused by mainshock. To quantitatively analyze the effect of aftershocks, this paper …

An improvement of energy damage index bounds for circular reinforced concrete (RC)
bridge piers under dynamic time history analysis is presented in this study. The energy …

Strong mainshocks are typically accompanied by numerous aftershocks, and the
investigation of the structural failure mechanisms under the mainshock-aftershock sequence …

Despite the various studies carried out to evaluate the effects of seismic sequences on
structures, the matter of the time gap required to be considered between the mainshock and …

The test results obtained for reinforced concrete columns by several studies have revealed
that the peak displacement and cumulative hysteresis energy are important parameters for …
