Reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs supported by slender columns are often used as gravity load resisting system for buildings in regions of moderate and high seismicity. Such buildings are typically braced by RC walls, which carry the largest portion of t ...
This paper presents the results of a series of shake-table tests on a half-scale, four-storey building with reinforced concrete (RC) and unreinforced masonry (URM) walls. Due to the lack of reference tests, the seismic behaviour of such mixed structures is ...
The reliable estimation of the seismic performance of structures requires quantifying the aleatory and epistemic uncertainties of the system parameters. This is efficiently achieved for a case study of a four-story steel moment-resisting frame through seve ...
Abstract Performance-based earthquake engineering necessitates the development of reliable nonlinear analysis models that are able to simulate the behavior of structures from the onset of damage through collapse. These models provide engineering demand par ...
In several seismic countries, residential buildings are constructed using both reinforced concrete (RC) and unreinforced masonry (URM) walls. Despite their popularity, there is a general lack of knowledge concerning the seismic behaviour of such mixed syst ...
Spandrel elements in unreinforced brick masonry buildings with timber floors consist of a masonry spandrel supported by either a timber lintel or a masonry arch. When subjected to seismic loading, the force-deformation relationship of such spandrel element ...
Buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) are often used in steel buildings to resist seismic loads; however, BRBF ductility can be limited by poor performance of the beam-column-gusset regions. Additionally, the concentric brace configuration in BRBFs can ...
bstract A wide range of approximate methods has been historically proposed for performance-based assessment of frame buildings in the aftermath of an earthquake. Most of these methods typically require a detailed analytical model representation of the resp ...

In many countries reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs supported on columns is one of the most commonly used structural systems for office and industrial buildings. To increase the lateral stiffness and strength of the structure, RC walls are typically adde ...
When testing multi-storey structures, most testing facilities require the testing of a reduced-scale model. A literature review on tests of scaled masonry structural components revealed that scaling of masonry was rather challenging and often significant d ...
