The seismic assessment of older-generation reinforced concrete buildings is of great concern because they constitute the bulk of the building stock in earthquake prone ar [...]

Much intellectual capital has been invested in the pursuit of crafting increasingly more refined procedures that collectively comprise the performance based design and as [...]

In seismic isolated structures, the level of equivalent damping ratio is generally greater than 5%. However, the elastic design response spectrum provided by codes specif [...]

A variety of seismic performance evaluation procedures have been developed for determining the expected performance of reinforced concrete buildings under the effects of [...]
