Probabilistic seismic capacity analysis (PSCA) plays an important role in the field of seismic performance evaluation, seismic reliability analysis, seismic fragility ana [...]

In this paper, a global limit state function for load-carrying capacity of structural system is firstly set up, in which the margin of safety is the difference between th [...]

Probabilistic seismic demand analysis (PSDA) is an approach for computing the mean annual frequency of exceeding a specified seismic demand for a given structure at a des [...]

Buckling-Restrained Braces (BRBs) are confirmed to have nearly the same yielding stress and ultimate strength under tension and compression. The BRBs can undergo fully-re [...]
