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.

Would RC wide-beam buildings in Spain have survived Lorca earthquake (11-05-2011)? [PDF]
Lorca earthquake (11-05-2011) is most destructive event recorded in Spain, causing nine fatalities and other severe consequences. Its important intensity was rather unexpected, and serious concern arose regarding risk of building stock in Spain.

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.

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.

For buildings that meet the requirements of current seismic design codes, damage to nonstructural components and the internal objects of buildings often become the main source of the seismic economic losses of these buildings.

Hybrid Passive Control Strategies for Reducing the Displacements at the Base of Seismic Isolated Structures [PDF]
In this paper, the use of hybrid passive control strategies to mitigate the seismic response of a base-isolated structure is examined. The control performance of three different types of devices used for reducing base displacements of isolated buildings ...

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.

PERFORMANCE BASED SEISMIC ENGINEERING [PDF]
Performance based seismic engineering is the modern approach to earthquakeresistant design. Rather than being based on prescriptive mostly empirical codeformulations, performance based design is an attempt to predict buildings withpredictable seismic performance.
