Elastic fundamental frequency is a key-parameter of simplified seismic design and vulnerability assessment methods. Empirical relationships exist in codes to estimate this frequency but they miss experimental data to validate them accounting for national f ...
Seismic risk in regions with moderate seismicity, such as Switzerland, was largely underestimated. A vast majority of existing buildings have been built without specific earthquake resistant features and do not meet modern requirements. Although several pr ...
Current seismic risk evaluations are mostly based on approximate vulnerability curves. Damage prediction is improved by considering structural characteristics of building. Such improved fragility functions do not exist for many structures, especially in co ...
