The problem of designing structures to achieve a specified performance limit state has gain interest in seismic design practice. Currently, some methodologies have been p [...]

Although damage to structures may be insignificant after an earthquake, the economic impact due to residual displacements (RDs) may be huge. This has recently been highli [...]

The seismic threat that active subduction zones present to populations located within the fore- and back-arc regions is well recognised by scientists and policy makers. R [...]

We present a new Petrov–Galerkin method involving two parameters viz. α1, α2 which yields the following schemes on rectangular meshes: a) a compact stencil obtained b [...]

This paper presents a practical displacement-based evaluation procedure for the seismic assessment of low-height confined masonry buildings. First, the Coefficient Method [...]

This paper presents a probabilistic approach to estimate residual drift demands (e.g. residual roof, residual drift at specific stories, and maximum residual drift over a [...]

This paper presents the results of an analytical investigation aimed at evaluating the inelastic response of typical Mexican reinforced concrete highway bridges under mai [...]

This paper presents an original method of estimating the location and severity of damage in a framed building based on experimental measurements of its fundamental vibrat [...]
