The present paper investigates the story-wise damage response and the seismic fragility of
planar multistory R/C buildings with various masonry infills' distributions. In order to fulfil this …

The sequential earthquakes and the vertical component of earthquakes can cause extensive
damages to structures. In this study, by applying the incremental dynamic collapse analysis …

The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of earthquake direction on seismic
performance of concrete gravity dams subjected to seismic sequences. For these purposes …

Non-structural masonry infills in existing reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures are
known to affect their seismic behaviour significantly with potential detrimental effects …

This paper presents a seismic response evaluation of self-centering prestressed concrete
frames with infill walls (SCPC-IW frames). Three types of infill walls with different load …

The present paper constitutes an analytical study on the seismic behaviour of infilled
reinforced concrete frames within the context of the Performance Based Earthquake …

Despite achieving consensus and having current knowledge on the behaviour and
contribution of masonry infill walls, there remain unresolved issues regarding their nonlinear …

The design earthquake is usually specified as a single event in most of modern seismic
codes. However, one earthquake is often followed by a series of aftershocks called seismic …

The effect of a flexible secondary system (FSS) on the design spectra is studied in this
paper. An FSS affects the primary structure (PS) during ground excitation differently than a …

Most frame buildings, especially those with shear-type moment resistance frames, are
affected by masonry infill panels, which change the mechanical properties of whole systems …
