The double impulse input is introduced as a substitute of the fling-step near-fault ground
motion and a closed-form solution of the elastic–plastic response of a structure by the …

This paper aims to develop simplified frame models applicable for Reinforced Concrete
(RC) moment frames. For this purpose, the existing Modified Fish-Bone (MFB) model, which …

The improved fish-bone (IFB) model for seismic analysis of older and contemporary
reinforced concrete frames is proposed by introducing a new procedure for the estimation of …

Repeated earthquakes are possible events in seismic zones. The aftershocks can grow so
large that they can be regarded as design-level earthquakes. These can affect the nonlinear …

Substitute Frame (SF) model is a recently introduced equivalent simplified MDOF model by
the authors which is applicable to moment-resisting frames, facilitating the modeling efforts …

This paper proposes an approach to simplify 2D moment-resisting frames (with equal or non-
equal bay lengths) to an equivalent single-bay framed MDOF model. This model, named the …

Abstract The “Substitute Frame”(SF) model, which is a simplified MDOF system consisting of
a one-bay multistory frame, has recently been introduced by the authors to predict the static …

The seismic risk framework of building structures has been presented to reduce earthquake‐
induced adverse consequences. In this context, probabilistic analysis of engineering …

Fling‐step and forward directivity are the major consequences of near‐fault ground motions
as they can impose unexpected seismic demands on structures located in the vicinity of the …

The multiple impulse input is introduced as a substitute of the long-duration earthquake
ground motion, mostly expressed in terms of harmonic waves, and a closed-form solution is …
