Design of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD’s) for passive control of structures subject to earthquake loading is often performed in a deterministic setting, neglecting uncertain [...]

Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) has been a well-established methodology in earthquake engineering for assessing the performance of structural systems under a suite of [...]

Reliability-Based Risk Optimization (RBRO) aims at the optimum level of safety to be achieved in a given structural design in order to minimize total expected costs or ma [...]

Risk optimization involves minimization of total expected costs, which include expected costs of failure, evaluated from nominal failure probabilities. Failure probabilit [...]
