Rapid visual screening is a quick and simple approach often used by researchers to
estimate the seismic vulnerability of buildings in an area. In this study, preliminary seismic …

Earthquakes are among the most disastrous natural hazard that affects the economy and
livelihood of the population around the world. Understanding the risk by assessing the …

Methods: Two 25-story tall buildings with similar plans but with the different number of
parking levels were analyzed through the incremental dynamic analysis. The tall buildings …

This study presents the steel fragility curves and performance curves of industrial buildings
of different geometries. The fragility curves were obtained for different building geometries …

Recent natural disaster events have caused damage to structures and led to loss of lives.
Steel structure industrial building is one of the important structures that needs to be …

In line with rapid urbanization and the urgent need for the development of Malaysia, the
number of tall buildings in this country has increased drastically over the past decades …

In this study, numerical analysis was used to derive seismic fragility curves for 3-, 6-and 9-
story reinforced concrete (RC) frame with inadequate lap splice length and ground soft-story …

Many researchers have investigated the seismic performance of low-ductile reinforced
concrete (RC) frames during past decades. A literature review shows that the effects of …

Background: In recent decades, Malaysia has shown a significant increase in the number of
constructed high-rise buildings due to rapid urbanization and an increase in its population …

The tremors due to Sumatra earthquake have been reported recently with low to moderate
seismic activity level, which have been causing fear to people who are in Peninsula …
