The risk-based design of buildings using nonlinear analysis is a challenging task. A question how to design components for non-simulated failure still remains unsolved. T [...]

The 3R method (Response analysis, Record selection, Risk-based decision making), which is used to check the adequacy of structural collapse safety by few nonlinear dynami [...]

A seismic loss estimation methodology for masonry buildings is briefly presented and its use is demonstrated by estimating seismic losses for a traditional and modern mas [...]

Fragility curves for six classes of precast buildings are presented. Only the type of non-structural components was varied in order to define different variants of invest [...]

The derivation of risk-targeted behaviour factor which can be used for the force-based design of structures is presented. The risk-targeted behaviour factor is formulated [...]

The pushover-based risk assessment (PRA) method is employed, together with recently proposed dispersion values, for a practice-oriented estimation of the “failure” pr [...]

Simplified inelastic procedures used in seismic design and assessment combine the nonlinear static (pushover) analysis and the response spectrum approach or nonlinear dyn [...]

The selection of a ground motion record is not a trivial problem since quite a different seismic response can be observed if a structure is subjected to different sets of [...]
