This paper discusses an analytical study that quantifies the expected earthquake-induced losses in typical office steel frame buildings designed with perimeter special moment frames in highly seismic regions. It is shown that for seismic events associated ...
This paper quantifies the collapse risk and earthquake-induced economic losses of steel-frame buildings with special concentrically braced frames designed in urban California. A probabilistic building-specific loss estimation methodology that can explicitl ...
A series of seismic tests were conducted on a 1½-bay by 1½-story special steel moment-resisting frame subassembly from the onset of damage through incipient collapse. These tests were conducted using hybrid simulation with substructuring as a mean to demon ...
Recent earthquakes in Chile (2010, M 8.8) and New Zealand (2011, M 6.3) have shown that, despite many years of extensive research and subsequent design code advancements, several modern reinforced concrete walls underperformed or even failed during these s ...
In 1356, Basel was subjected to an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 6.6; it is the largest known historical earthquake in central northern Europe. During this earthquake and the fire that followed large parts of Basel were destroyed. Such an event ...
Avoidance of collapse is the most important objective in earthquake resistant design, but assessing the probability of collapse of a structure during an earthquake is technically challenging and it is computationally demanding. This paper summarizes recent ...

Cultural heritage buildings were typically built without considering seismic action and are therefore potentially susceptible to earthquake damage. The performance states and protection objectives developed for ordinary buildings are not directly applicabl ...
Fling-step and forward directivity, which can impose unexpected seismic demands on structures, are the main consequences of near-fault earthquakes. Although the adverse effect of forward directivity on structures behavior is determined to some level, the i ...
Fragility functions that permit the estimation of damage in pre-1994 welded flange bolted-web beam-to-column moment connections are developed. The fragility functions provide estimates of the probability of yielding and of experiencing fracture as a functi ...
