Seismic Vulnerability of Non-Code-Compliant and Code-Compliant RC Buildings

Structural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings
This study investigates the seismic vulnerability of non-code-compliant reinforced concrete (RC) buildings compared to code-based structures. The research uses linear elastic and nonlinear pushover analyses (NPA) to evaluate critical seismic performance ...

Seismic Performance and Generalized Damage Risk of Modular Cross Laminated Timber Houses Across Ten United States Cities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 687-703, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Housing shortages in the United States and the pursuit of sustainable and resilient communities have positioned cross‐laminated timber (CLT) housing as a promising alternative due to the ability to design for modularity, ease of construction, and low embodied carbon performance.

Risk‐Targeted Seismic Design Maps for Mexico

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 336-349, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Risk‐targeted seismic design maps for Mexico are presented. Risk‐targeted approach establishes an acceptable risk level, measured with the annual collapse probability, to determine seismic design coefficients. Seismic design maps are calculated for an annual probability of collapse of 1 × 10−4 and 2 × 10−4.

Overstrength Factors of Buckling Restrained Braced Frames [PDF]

Journal of the Earthquake Engineering Society of Korea, 2004
In this study the overstrength factors of medium to low-rise bucking restrained braced frames (BRBF) were evaluated. Various design variables, such as number of stories, span length, yield strength of the brace, level of earthquake load, and the response modification factors.

Building Back Better Following the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake Sequence: Repair and Retrofit of Damaged Residential Reinforced Concrete High‐Rise Buildings

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Earthquakes have caused, and will continue to cause, damage to the built environment, resulting in casualties, economic losses, and long‐term societal impacts. One approach to decreasing future losses is limiting the damage that buildings experience during an earthquake and speeding up their recovery by following the “build back better” principle.

Effects of higher modes and MDOF on strength reduction factor of elastoplastic structures under far and near-fault ground motions

Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2017
In seismic codes, the force strength reduction factor is proposed to transform elastic to inelastic strength. The ductility reduction factor, Rμ, plays a key role on R factor if no overstrength is present. The Rμ is determined by SDOF systems.

Limiting Safety‐Critical Structural Damage in Recovery‐Based Seismic Design Provisions

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
In the move toward design practices that facilitate recovery, there are ongoing efforts to reevaluate structural seismic design parameters such as design drift limits and response modification coefficients. To support the development of the 2026 NEHRP functional recovery design provisions, we propose design modifications that limit the occurrence of ...

Nonstructural Design Requirements for Functional Recovery Performance

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Work is underway in the United States to develop the first generation of prescriptive seismic design provisions for functional recovery. The Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) has proposed targeting a 25% probability of exceeding 0 days for functional recovery category (FRC) A, 3 days for FRC B, 2 months for FRC C, and 6 months for FRC D at the ...

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 ...
