Effect of uncertainties of shear wall on reliability of rehabilitated structure
Magazine of Civil Engineering, 2023 Uncertainties in seismic demand and structural capacity create conservatism in acceptance criteria for structural performance levels. In case of such conservations, rehabilitation costs can increase, and seismic evaluation results of the structures may ...

Emerging Science Journal, 2018 The main objective of this study is interpreting the probable dependency of structural performance level and its corresponding inter-story drift in conventional RC moment frames. For this purpose, inter-story drift as dependent variable and other structural characteristics such as strength of materials, structural dimensions and internal loads as ...
