In order to mitigate seismic risk in urban regions, the first task is to identify potential seismic losses in future earthquakes. Seismic loss estimation is an interdisci [...]

Loss estimation studies exercised for seismically active regions generally require fragility analyses to be performed which necessitate the use of ground motion records. [...]

Low-cut filtering used for removing the long-period noise in accelerograms is investigated for its effects on the nonlinear peak oscillator displacements. We used a suite [...]
