The main goal of this paper is to assess, from a probabilistic point of view, the seismic response of an unreinforced masonry building caused by the influence of the unce [...]

The nonlinear dynamic response of RC buildings with dissipators is studied using advanced computational techniques. A fully 3D geometric and constitutive nonlinear model [...]

This study contributes to the development and application of the seismic risk assessment in big cities. It has been structured into two parts. The first part details the [...]

The Disaster Deficit Index (DDI) measures disaster country risk from a macroeconomic and financial perspective, according to possible future catastrophic events. The DDI [...]

A specific catastrophic risk model has been developed to evaluate, building by building, the probabilistic losses and pure premiums of different portfolios, taking into a [...]

The main goal of this article is to evaluate the structural behavior of steel buildings. The seismic performance of a specific steel building located in the campus of the [...]

A probabilistic approach to estimate the expected seismic physical damage of existing buildings in urban areas is presented. The main steps of the procedure are seismic h [...]
