Functional recovery time of low‐rise concentrically braced frame buildings: Probabilistic assessment of footing size effects

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 3669-3694, December 2025.
A city’s capacity to withstand and recover from seismic events plays a crucial role in safeguarding the well‐being of its residents. While numerous studies have investigated the recovery cost and time of buildings following earthquakes, the effects of soil and foundation have often been overlooked despite their known influence on seismic performance ...

Influence of Different European Code Provisions for Capacity Design on the Seismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Frames

Buildings, 2023
Performance-based seismic codes ensure proper inelastic behaviour of reinforced concrete frames through capacity design, among others. This strategy relies not only on avoiding brittle failures and providing ductility to plastic hinges but also in their ...

Brittle failure in RC masonry infilled frames: The role of infill overstrength [PDF]

Engineering Structures, 2018
Abstract The interaction between an infill panel and a reinforced concrete (RC) column can lead to the brittle failure of the structural element. A novel combination of cutting-edge analytical modelling approaches for masonry infills and RC elements is employed to simulate five experimental tests (three infilled and two bare) characterized by brittle

Assessment of seismic design provisions for floor diaphragms and higher‐mode responses using data from instrumented buildings in California

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 3826-3857, December 2025.
This article assesses the seismic design provisions for floor diaphragms per ASCE/SEI 7‐22 Section 12.10.1 and Section 12.10.3, with emphasis on how these provisions account for the higher‐mode effects on peak horizontal floor accelerations of earthquake‐resistant buildings.

Seismic Capacity and Performance of Waffle‐Flat Plate Structures Under Near‐Fault Ground Motions: Bidirectional Shake Table Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 12, Page 3069-3089, 10 October 2025.
ABSTRACT A reinforced concrete waffle‐flat plate structure was subjected to a sequence of bidirectional near‐fault ground motions on a shake table until collapse. The test specimen was designed under current building codes and assigned a region of moderate seismicity.

Direct displacement-based design of special composite RC shear walls with steel boundary elements [PDF]

Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2016
Special composite RC shear wall (CRCSW) with steel boundary elements is a kind of lateral force resisting structural system which is used in earthquake-prone regions.

Influence of the sample size and evaluation method on the component‐specific coefficient of variation of concrete compression strength

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 5469-5481, October 2025.
Abstract It is well‐established that concrete's compressive strength is not a constant, but rather a variable. Smaller variation in these variables can lead to the utilization of more favorable material properties, reducing uncertainties. The research results from about 50 years ago on the variability of these characteristics were subsequently ...

A Macro‐Model for Simulating Gusset Plate Buckling in Buckling‐Restrained Braced Frame Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 11, Page 2711-2726, September 2025.
ABSTRACT 2D models, which are conventionally employed for the seismic performance assessment of buckling‐restrained braced frame (BRBF) buildings, are incapable of simulating the out‐of‐plane buckling of gusset plates. This study presents a novel 3D macro‐modelling approach capable of capturing the out‐of‐plane buckling of gusset plates in BRBFs.
