This paper presents an evaluation of the seismic collapse risk of self-centering moment-resisting frames (SC-MRFs) with viscous dampers located in near-fault regions. Thi [...]

At 3.36 am on 24th August 2016 a Mw 6.2 (USGS) earthquake struck the central region of Italy, with epicentre in the Apennines range, near the village of Accumuli and with [...]

This paper presents a methodology that combines the use of magnetorheological (MR) dampers together with an earthquake early warning (EEW) system to minimize the losses i [...]

Although probabilistic seismic risk assessment is now consolidated enough to escape academic boundaries and become widely used in several practical applications, China ha [...]

The aim of this article is twofold: first, we propose a list of five ground motion intensity measures (IMs) that act as proxies for the (nonlinear) seismic response of mo [...]

Steel moment frames in high seismic regions such as California are often designed to resist fracture. This is accomplished by minimizing flaws and cracks in critical regi [...]

Feasibility of earthquake early warning systems (EEWS) depends on the possibility of immediately detecting the earthquake’s characteristics and on the ability to design [...]

Vector-valued ground motion intensity measures have been extensively investigated recently. Proposed measures are mainly related to pairs of spectral ordinates because th [...]
