A methodology based on Neural Networks is presented for the quick vulnerability assessment of steel moment resisting frames. The proposed method combines data extracted f [...]

Approximate methods based on static pushover are introduced to estimate the seismic performance uncertainty of structures having uncertain plastic hinge parameters. Perfo [...]

In this paper, a novel approach is presented to investigate realistic problems of structures subjected to transient seismic actions. This approach is used to assess the n [...]

The paper focuses on the study of reinforced concrete structures that follow construction practices typical of the fifties and the sixties in Southern Europe. Both experi [...]

COMPDYN 2009, one of the thematic Conferences of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS), is a Special Interest Conference of the In [...]

The variability in the seismic demand and capacity of a steel frame having beam hinges with uncertain properties is investigated through Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA [...]

In this paper, we combine downhole observations and broadband ground motion synthetics evaluated at three downhole array sites in the Los Angeles Basin, to investigate th [...]

An approximate method based on the static pushover is introduced to estimate the seismic performance uncertainty of structures having uncertain parameters. Performance un [...]
