The present study examines the influence of the isolators’ effective stiffness distribution on the torsional response of base isolated structures. To accomplish this pu [...]

This study presents a numerical investigation of the influence of spatial variability of earthquake ground motion, site effects and Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) pheno [...]

In three-dimensional asymmetric buildings, the orientation of the applied forces with regard to the structural system as well as the vertical distribution of the lateral [...]

The scope of this work is the creation of a numerical FE model of an existing prestressed post-tensioned RC box girder ductile ravine bridge and its updating, based on id [...]

The assessment of the seismic performance of a structure depends on the optimal choice of an earthquake Intensity Measure (IM). Given the fact that conventional IMs based [...]

It is known that the slabs on soil constitute one of the most difficult types of structures despite their apparent simplicity. It is not accidental that there are still n [...]

In this paper a new energy-based pushover procedure is presented in order to achieve an approximate estimation of structural performance under strong earthquakes. The ste [...]

In this paper a newly developed simplified procedure for estimating seismic demands which is called Spectral Pushover Analysis [SPA] is briefly presented and evaluated. F [...]

In the present paper the influence of the seismic incident angle on the longitudinal steel reinforcement of R/C buildings within the context of the lateral force method o [...]

In this paper a new enhanced Nonlinear Static Procedure (NSP) is presented and evaluated. The steps of the proposed methodology are quite similar to those of the well-kno [...]
