This paper presents the application of an innovative approach for performance-based design of structures. This approach is does not require a standard pattern for the dis [...]

Structural configuration plays an important role on the seismic behaviour of structures. In recent earthquakes, structures with inappropriate distributions of strength an [...]

External confinement has been adopted as an efficient technique of seismic upgrading of existing RC columns. This paper presents the experimental and analytical results o [...]

Tabriz, a city in the north west of Iran, has experienced several large destructive historical earthquakes in the past. North Tabriz Fault as an active fault in Tabriz re [...]

Opposite to the long period ground motions that can be predicted and estimated, high frequency ground motions have random quality and behave stochastically. Bore stochast [...]

Recent earthquakes in urban areas have repeatedly demonstrated the vulnerability of inadequately designed or constructed reinforced concrete structures, with deficient sh [...]
