The collapses of building structures during recent earthquakes have raised many questions
regarding the adequacy of current seismic provisions to prevent a partial or total collapse …

Global collapse in earthquake engineering refers to the inability of a structural system to
sustain gravity loads in the presence of seismic effects. This research proposes a …

Assessing the probability of collapse is a computationally demanding component of
performance‐based earthquake engineering. This paper examines various aspects involved …

The objective of this study is to improve the understanding of behavior patterns and the
quantification of seismic demands for nondeteriorationg regular frames subjected to ordinary …

This paper summarizes collapse performance measures and the probabilistic basis for their
development to assist in understanding of collapse behaviour of buildings and …

The issue of gravity induced instability during response to severe seismic excitation is
examined. It is contended that while static instability is fully determined by the existence of at …

A simplified methodology for predicting the median and dispersion of collapse capacity of
moment-resisting frame and shear wall structural systems subjected to seismic excitations is …

Abstract Although Moment Resisting Frames (MRFs) are the most widely used structural
system for seismic-resistant steel buildings, several important aspects of their behavior …

Lateral strengths required to avoid dynamic instability of single-degree-of-freedom systems
are examined. Oscillators with a bilinear hysteretic behavior with negative postyield stiffness …

This study presents an evaluation of drift demands and their associated uncertainties for
nondeteriorating regular moment resisting frame structures subjected to ordinary ground …
