The seismic-induced pounding between adjacent buildings is an undesirable event that can cause major damage and even structural collapse for structures with inadequate se [...]

This paper presents a probabilistic methodology for the optimal risk-based design of linear viscous/visco-elastic dampers in single and/or coupled buildings [1]. The unce [...]

Earthquake ground motion excitation can induce pounding in adjacent buildings with inadequate separation distance. This hazard is particularly relevant in densely inhabit [...]

Classical reliability methods such as First- and Second-Order Reliability Methods (FORM and SORM) have been real breakthroughs toward feasible and reliable methods for in [...]

Frame finite element models permit obtaining, at moderate computational cost, significant information on the dynamic response behavior of steel–concrete composite (SCC) [...]

This paper presents recent advances in response sensitivity, probabilistic response and reliability analyses of structural and geotechnical systems. These developments ar [...]

Classical reliability methods such as First- and Second-Order Reliability Methods (FORM and SORM) have been important breakthroughs toward feasible and reliable integrati [...]
