Seismic evaluation of isolated skewed bridges using fragility function methodology
, 2017 A methodology, based on fragility functions, is proposed to evaluate the seismic performance of seismic isolated 45° skewed concrete bridge: 1) twelve types of seismic isolation devices are considered based on two different design parameters 2) fragility

SEISMIC ASSESSMENT OF SUSPENDED CEILING SYSTEMS
, 2010 Non-structural components in most types of commercial building represent a major portion of the total cost of the building and, as such, will represent a large portion of the potential losses to owners, occupants, and insurance companies. Non structural

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The previous seismic events indicated the vulnerability of old reinforced concrete (RC) structures against earthquakes due to the absence of seismic detailing and capacity design specifications in such buildings. In this context, beam‐column joints (BCJ) of the existing RC structures built before the 1970s have exhibited poor structural ...

Development of an open-source platform for calculating losses from earthquakes
, 2012 Risk analysis has a critical role in the reduction of casualties and damages due to earthquakes. Recognition of this relation has led to a rapid rise in demand for accurate, reliable and flexible risk assessment numerical tools and software.
