During the past two decades, probabilistic risk analysis tools have been applied to assess
the performance of new and existing building structural systems. Structural design and …

Global collapse in earthquake engineering refers to the inability of a structural system to
sustain gravity loads in the presence of seismic effects. This research proposes a …

The primary goal of seismic provisions in building codes is to protect life safety through the
prevention of structural collapse. To evaluate the extent to which current and past building …

Simplified procedures have been used for the estimation of seismic response parameters by
considering the epistemic uncertainties for an older reinforced concrete frame, and for two …

This study proposes a simplified approach to Performance-Based Design (PBD) and
Performance-Based Assessment (PBA) of buildings subjected to earthquakes. The …

The emerging field of performance-based earthquake engineering enables the evaluation of
seismic performance of building structures. In this study, performance-based earthquake …

Deterioration parameters that are commonly used to simulate nonlinear behavior of steel
components were mainly calibrated based on the results from experiments on steel beams …

A systematic approach is proposed for formulating risk-based cost-effective criteria for the
design and upgrading of structures with special reference to earthquake protection. Target …

A methodology is presented for the probabilistic assessment of reinforced concrete (RC)
frames subjected to seismic loading. Various aspects of structural modeling, including …

This paper presents the implementation of a probabilistic approach to estimate residual drift
demands (eg residual roof, residual drift at specific stories, and maximum residual drift over …
