Decisions on reparability for damaged buildings after an earthquake are often controversial, and they should properly take into account the variation of building safety l [...]

Seismic risk is a key factor influencing several important decision-making processes from performance-based design of new structures, to investments for rehabilitation of [...]

In the aftermath of low-to-moderate earthquakes, simplified methods allowing fast estimate of maximum lateral deformations experienced in multistory building are particul [...]

When a seismic event occurs, damage may accumulate in a building affecting its capacity to withstand future earthquakes. This study investigates, by means of a detailed c [...]

The evaluation of building reparability after damaging earthquakes is a complex issue, involving factors such as the damage state, residual capacity and post-earthquake s [...]

Seismic behavior of damaged buildings may be expressed as a function of their REsidual Capacity (REC). The residual capacity RECSa is defined as the minimum spectral acce [...]

Seismic behavior of damaged buildings may be expressed as a function of their REsidual Capacity (RECag), that is a measure of seismic capacity “reduced” due to damage [...]

Building reparability after an earthquake is a central issue for a sustainable engineering. Effective policies concerning building reparability should account for buildin [...]
