Hilbert–Huang-Transform-Based Seismic Intensity Measures for Rocking Response Assessment
Structures that can uplift and rock under severe seismic excitations present remarkable stability without exhibiting damage. As such, rocking-response-based structural systems constitute a promising design practice.

Optimal seismic upgrade timing in seaports with increasing throughput demand via real options [PDF]
A real options (RO) formulation is proposed for decision-making on the timing to upgrade the seismic performance of existing seaports with increasing throughput demand in earthquake prone areas.

Seismic reliability assessment of classical columns subjected to near-fault ground motions [PDF]
A methodology for the performance-based seismic risk assessment of classical columns is presented. Despite their apparent instability, classical columns are, in general, earthquake resistant, as proven from the fact that many classical monuments have ...

Centrifuge modeling of rocking-isolated inelastic RC bridge piers [PDF]
Experimental proof is provided of an unconventional seismic design concept, which is based on deliberately underdesigning shallow foundations to promote intense rocking oscillations and thereby to dramatically improve the seismic resilience of structures.

Performance Based Seismic Design
Performance-based seismic design, which is a relatively new concept, came into existence as a means to ascertain the likely performance of an existing building structure during an earthquake. However, this approach is equally applicable to new buildings being designed.
