Seismic fragility analysis for bridges is an essential issue for risk assessment of
transportation networks exposed to seismic hazards. Considering multiple Performance …

Residual deformation is a crucial index that should be paid special attention in the
performance-based seismic analyses of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Owing to their …

In this paper the vulnerability of the confined masonry buildings is evaluated analytically.
The proposed approach includes the nonlinear dynamic analysis of the two-story confined …

This paper focuses on improvement of structural seismic performance under earthquakes of
different intensities using a large mass ratio multiple tuned mass damper (LMTMD). A …

In the present study, a methodology for developing fragilities of arch concrete dams to
assess their performance against seismic hazards is introduced. Firstly, the probability risk …

A careful evaluation has been carried out to reveal advantages and disadvantages of linear
and nonlinear modelling in dynamic analysis. 4-and 7-story building models representing …

Stationary response of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) bilinear hysteretic system driven
by Poisson white noise is investigated via stochastic averaging of energy envelope in this …

The effects of past earthquakes have demonstrated the seismic vulnerability of confined
masonry structures (CMSs) to earthquakes. The results of experimental analysis indicate …

Turkey has several devastating earthquakes throughout its history since it is being located in
a highly seismically active region. Thus, seismic evaluation and retrofitting of the existing …

In the last few decades the Viscous Damper (VD) is used for retrofitting or seismic designing
in existing or new buildings. In this paper the effect of VD is evaluated in the steel Diagonal …
