This paper reviews the contributions of research towards the development of the
methodologies associated with Performance-Based Seismic Engineering (PBSE). Research …

Vibration-based finite element model (FEM) updating of cultural heritage assets is gaining
so much attraction these days since destructive tests are usually not allowed to be …

This paper presents the results of static and dynamic tests on unreinforced brick masonry
wall panels subject to out-of-plane loading. Fourteen wall panels were tested. The test …

To realistically assess the seismic risk relating to built infrastructures in Hong Kong and in
the neighbouring coastal cities of southern Guangdong province, it is necessary to predict …

The present study makes an attempt to investigate the soil–structure resonance effects on a
structure based on dynamic soil–structure interaction (SSI) methodology by direct method …

The seismic faults which cause long distance earthquakes for Singapore have been
analysed and the maximum possible earthquake in each of these faults have been …

Abstract Design spectrum (DS) models in major codes of practice for structural design of
buildings typically stipulate empirical site factors for each of the five, or six, site classes …

Site classification is an important procedure for a reliable site-specific seismic hazard
assessment. On the other hand, the site conditions at strong-motion stations are essential for …

In late 2017, the Malaysian National Annex (NA) to Eurocode 8 (EC8) was released and
enacted following some 13 years of deliberations and preparations. The authors of this …

Site effects characterize the filtering mechanisms within the soil sedimentary layers overlying
bedrock. In regions of high seismicity such as California where strong motion records are …
