Abstract: A computational procedure for robust-to-modeling and robust-to-change design of structural systems is proposed with application to planar rigid frames. A structure is considered robust when it is least sensitive to changes ...

Abstract: Design codes are migrating from prescriptive procedures intended to preserve life safety to reliability-based design. All stakeholders are given the opportunity to speak the common language of risk and structural designs ...

Abstract: Significant progress has been made in the preceding two decades in the area of seismic engineering. Design codes are very quickly migrating from prescriptive procedures intended to preserve life safety to reliability-based ...
