Abstract: Although large ground motion databases are widely available today, in many occasions, the selection of ground motion records still hampers the use of nonlinear response history analysis in seismic engineering practice. ...

Abstract: A methodology is presented for the reliability assessment of urban water distribution networks (UWDN) on the basis of component analysis, network topology, and—most importantly—survival analysis to include the effects of ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional surrogate model is presented for the seismic performance assessment of cylindrical atmospheric liquid storage tanks. The proposed model consists of a concentrated fluid mass attached to a single vertical ...
