The seismic vulnerability of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings has been an important issue,
especially in earthquake-prone regions with limited seismic design codes such as South …

In the most severe seismic zones, the majority of earthquake-resistant structures are
constructed using in-plane shear walls with frames in India. RC wall-frame buildings exhibit …

Most design codes evaluate the non-linear seismic performance of structures using the
response reduction/modification factor (R). The value of R is sensitive to a variety of factors …

Direct displacement-based seismic design (DDBD) is widely popular due to the
effectiveness of the design approach for achieving the structure's predefined displacement …

Purpose This article aims to explore the implication of effective stiffness modifiers of
structural elements on the seismic performance of high-rise RC frame buildings with shear …

Recent advancements in computer science and data-driven decision making have greatly
decreased the impact of natural disasters on civilization. The Western zone of Surat, a city in …

A column is a fundamental component of any structure. Due to the risk of catastrophic
collapse and the comparably low cost of additional load-bearing capabilities, it was found …

Seismic life cycle cost analysis (SLCCA) is a reliable approach to assess the economic
implications of the structure over the lifetime of the structure in terms of present-day value for …

The study's primary goal is to examine the presence of epistemic uncertainty in the RC frame
when subjected to lateral force. The seismic response of the RC frame and the impact of …
