Abstract: The study’s primary purpose is to compare the analysis procedures of simple deterministic and comprehensive probabilistic techniques. Nonlinear static pushover analysis is considered to assess the RC frame’s seismic response ...

Abstract: Earthquakes are one of the most common natural disasters resulting in loss of life and property. A method for reducing damage and fatalities is to evaluate the fragility, i.e., determining the degree of an earthquake ...

Abstract: In the most severe seismic zones, the majority of earthquake-resistant structures are constructed using in-plane shear walls with frames in India. RC wall-frame buildings exhibit an increase in structural stiffness resulting ...

Abstract: Earthquakes, as common natural disasters that cause loss of life and property, prompt the need for minimizing damage and casualties. This is achieved through fragility assessment, a method that involves evaluating a ...

Abstract: Adaptive intelligent data-driven controllers play a pivotal role in structural control systems due to their capacity to operate effectively under seismic forces without relying on detailed mathematical models. Their ability ...

Abstract: Recent advancements in computer science and data-driven decision making have greatly decreased the impact of natural disasters on civilization. The Western zone of Surat, a city in Gujarat, India, is examined as a study ...

Abstract: Base-isolated building structures prove highly effective in seismic events, particularly when designed using direct displacement-based methods. This design approach ensures that the structure’s behavior remains under control ...

Abstract: A quasi-three-dimensional (3D) theory considering transverse shear and normal deformation effects is presented for the static flexure of simply supported symmetric sandwich plates. The theory was developed based on the ...
