We present a methodology for conducting a site-specific probabilistic analysis of fault
displacement hazard. Two approaches are outlined. The first relates the occurrence of fault …

Structural damage in buildings designed according to the dissipative design philosophy can
be significant, even under moderate earthquakes. Repair of damaged members is an …

Eccentrically braced frames depend on the inelasticity of specially designed links to provide
ductility and to dissipate energy during earthquakes. The links are typically formed from …

The importance of welded connections on the behaviour of beam-to-column joints in steel
moment resisting frames was the reason to develop an experimental programme focused on …

In this paper, a post-earthquake damage assessment method for 11 different structural
systems is proposed. The method is mainly based on residual inter-story drift ratios of all …

This paper summarises results of the research performed at the Department of Steel
Structures and Structural Mechanics from the “Politehnica” University of Timisoara …

The loss of occupancy and the difficulty associated with repairing a conventional structure
following an earthquake can economically burden owners as well as occupants. This paper …

This paper focuses on the present situation of research, codification, design, and
applications in the field of steel and composite structures in the European earthquake-prone …
