In a decision-making framework within the context of performance-based design, life-cycle cost can be regarded as a suitable benchmark performance variable to quantify an [...]

Cloud Analysis is based on simple regression in the logarithmic space of structural response versus seismic intensity for a set of registered records. This method is part [...]

This paper presents an approach for structural health monitoring by integrating nonlinear structural finite element (FE) models and Bayesian methods. Batch and recursive [...]

Operative seismic aftershock risk forecasting is particularly useful as support for rapid decision-making in the presence of an ongoing aftershock sequence. Arguably, an [...]

In this paper the principles of a proposed method for probabilistic performance-based seismic design (PPSD) are presented. The probabilistic design approach is proposed f [...]
