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 ...
In this paper a 2-phase decision tree algorithm is developed to qualitatively predict damage in RC buildings based on earthquake characteristics and structural properties. To this end, the structural properties considered are the natural period of the fund ...
Fragility functions are commonly used in performance-based earthquake engineering for predicting the damage state of a structure subjected to an earthquake. This process often involves estimating the structural damage as a function of structural response, ...
As an approach to the problem of seismic vulnerability evaluation of existing buildings using the predicted vulnerability method, numerical models can be applied to define fragility curves of typical buildings which represent building classes. These curves ...
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 ...
The objective of the present work is that of making a contribution to the performance-based seismic design of RC buildings with U-shaped walls. Since U-shaped walls are often placed at the perimeter of a building and are typically stiffer and stronger than ...
In the second half of the 20th century, the majority of residential buildings in Switzerland have been built with unreinforced brick masonry walls and reinforced concrete floors. Following a re-evaluation of the seismic hazard in Switzerland, a country of ...
