Ground Motion Prediction Equations commonly use response spectra as input data. However, the selection of a unique spectral function which minimizes the error between pre [...]

The capacity and expected seismic damage of several types of steel buildings are assessed. Nonlinear static structural analysis and incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) by [...]

The main goal of this paper is to assess, from a probabilistic point of view, the seismic response of an unreinforced masonry building caused by the influence of the unce [...]

Capacity-spectrum-based-methods are also used for assessing the vulnerability and risk of existing buildings. Capacity curves are usually obtained by means of nonlinear s [...]

One of the main objectives of the seismic risk management is the creation of methodologies to take decisions about the seismic risk of buildings. In order to take these d [...]

World-wide, regional, and local earthquake catalogues are used to analyze seismic time variation at global, regional and local scale. The quality of the catalogues is dis [...]

This study contributes to the development and application of the seismic risk assessment in big cities. It has been structured into two parts. The first part details the [...]

A seismic risk assessment of an informal settlement (in Mérida, Venezuela) is presented. IVIM and NVIM methodologies are used. NVIM concludes that the buildings are vuln [...]

This paper presents a seismic risk assessment on the buildings of Mérida, Venezuela. It consists of a global hazard and vulnerability evaluation. The tectonic frameworks [...]

The main goal of this article is to evaluate the structural behavior of steel buildings. The seismic performance of a specific steel building located in the campus of the [...]
