Current fully probabilistic approaches to performance-based earthquake engineering
describe structures' behavior under a wide range of seismic hazard levels. These …

In the common force-based design method prescribed in seismic codes, displacements of a
structure under reduced seismic forces are amplified by a deflection amplification factor, C d …

In crowded cities, many structures are often constructed in a very close vicinity; therefore,
during severe earthquakes, pounding phenomenon occurs due to out-of-phase vibrations of …

In urban areas, adjacent structures can be seen in any insufficient distance from each other,
because of economic and refusal of acquired minimum separation distance according to …

This paper probabilistically evaluates the seismic performance of the smart buildings
equipped with newly developed shape memory alloy (SMA) connections. The smart …

Abstract Maximum Residual Interstory Drift Ratio (MRIDR) is one of the most important
Engineering Demand Parameters (EDPs) for evaluating the safety of structures after the …

Nowadays, passive energy dissipation systems are used in the seismic design of new
structures and the retrofit of existing structures. Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVDs) are one of the …

Pounding between structures during earthquakes has been a subject of research for many
years, and researchers have considered a variety of conditions of adjacent structures in their …

Abstract Viscous Dampers (VDs), as a passive energy dissipation system, are increasingly
applied for the seismic design and retrofit of structures. In general, probabilistic seismic …

In this paper, seismic collapse of reinforced concrete moment frames is assessed using
endurance time (ET) analysis. A set of 30 frames that incorporate deterioration of concrete …
