It is conventional to assume that the role of the soil-structure interaction (SSI) is beneficial to
the buildings under seismic loading. However, lessons learned from recent earthquakes …

A new paradigm has now emerged in performance-based seismic design of soil–foundation–
structure systems. Instead of imposing strict safety limits on forces and moments transmitted …

Traditional design approaches in civil engineering mainly focus on codes/guidelines related
to building an infrastructure, while performance-based analysis (PBA), an emerging new …

Finite-element analyses are performed for the response to lateral monotonic, slow-cyclic,
and seismic loading of rigid footings carrying tall slender structures and supported on stiff …

This paper discusses the collapse behavior of low‐rise plan‐asymmetric buildings under bi‐
directional horizontal ground motions and utilizing strength and stiffness degrading …

Over the past two decades, the earthquake engineering community has become
increasingly aware of fundamental shortcomings in the current code force-based design …

This research presents a novel approach of artificial intelligence (AI) based gene expression
programming (GEP) for predicting the lateral load carrying capacity of RC rectangular …

This work reports the outcomes of an extensive experimental campaign on the retrofitting of
masonry walls by means of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets, carried out at …

It is often the case that soil beneath the structure is ignored in numerical analyses. In most
cases there are two reasons for neglecting the soil in analyses: complexity in modelling of …

In this work, a new plane stress element is proposed for the nonlinear static and dynamic
analysis of plane stress/plane strain problems. The four node quadrilateral element …
