Occurrences of large earthquakes having a magnitude larger than eight along subduction zones have been reported worldwide. Due to large number of load reversals the effect of cumulative damage on structural components due to deterioration becomes critical ...
The analysis of strong and weak motion recordings in existing structures is critical for understanding both the damaging process during earthquakes and their structural behavior. The time-frequency representation is one of the existing methods to get infor ...
Large slow slip events (SSEs) occur in the so-called Guerrero Gap, a segment of the Mexican subduction zone where no large earthquake occurred for more than one century. Analyzing the relations between slow slip and earthquakes in this region is a key ques ...
Seismic wave propagation in granular soils can induce large strain amplitudes in case of strong earthquakes. Seismic motions are irregular in frequency content and in amplitude, and have three different components in orthogonal directions. In this context, ...
This paper summarizes collapse performance measures and the probabilistic basis for their development to assist in understanding of collapse behaviour of buildings and implementation of performance objectives in design and evaluation of buildings for colla ...
COupled seismogenic GEohazards in Alpine Regions (COGEAR) is an interdisciplinary natural hazard project investigating the hazard chain induced by earthquakes. It addresses tectonic processes and the related variability of seismicity in space and time, ear ...
The seismic assessment of existing buildings has been underestimated in regions with moderate seismic hazard, such as the North-West Europe. Strong earthquakes, such as the 1356 Basel earthquake, already occurred in such regions and caused severe damage. T ...
Structural R/C cores are a popular and efficient choice as lateral-load resisting system in medium to tall buildings. The walls of the cores typically present large openings providing access to elevators placed within them. Shear induced by lateral forces ...
In countries with a moderate seismic hazard, the classical methods developed for strong motion prone countries to estimate the seismic behaviour and subsequent vulnerability of existing buildings are often inadequate and not financially realistic. The main ...
