The seismic assessment of structures depends on a large number of aleatory and epistemic uncertainties, which are majorly associated to the estimation of the structural d [...]

Nonlinear Static Procedures (NSP) are gaining wider use in performance based earthquake engineering practice due to their simplicity compared to rigorous Nonlinear Time H [...]

This study focuses on the detailed characterization of a significant share of the Portuguese roadway bridge stock to be used for macro-area seismic loss assessment purpos [...]

Seismic risk assessment is more challenging for infrastructure systems than for single, non-interacting components, especially when network-level interaction is included [...]

The main objective of the research presented in this paper is to gauge the benefits of using concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) members from a seismic design perspective. [...]

The main objective of the research presented in this paper is to investigate the structural behaviour of Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) columns made with Rubberized Co [...]

Non-linear static procedures, such as pushover-based ones, have been continuously refined and improved along the past few years as a complement or even as an alternative [...]
