Probabilistic seismic demand analysis (PSDA) is an approach for computing the mean annual frequency of exceeding a specified seismic demand for a given structure at a des [...]

The current reliability-based probabilistic limit state design is based on notional failure probability of structural components, which cannot explicitly consider the con [...]

The paper discusses the earthquake input model with multiple support excitations and its apparent discrepancy with the earthquake input model with uniform ground motion. [...]

An increasing demand for cost-effective inspections and maintenance is driving the industry to modern solutions, which will provide the necessary inspection results for t [...]

In this study, the seismic reliability for the stability of cantilever retaining wall is evaluated by the Monte Carlo simulations. The effects of variability and uncertai [...]

The purpose of this paper is focused on the determination of the seismic hazard for Taichung Area in Taiwan, based on the recorded historical data provided by National Ce [...]
