Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Lessons from recent major earthquakes have shown that current life‐safety‐centered seismic design practice falls short in ensuring a desirable post‐hazard recovery. Extensive economic losses, high demolition rates, and long recovery have signified a gap between design targets and society's expectations of seismic performance of code‐compliant buildings.

Development of Liquefaction‐Targeted Design Basis in U.S. Seismic Provisions
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Seismic design criteria for new buildings in the United States have historically focused on life safety performance objectives through minimizing the potential for structural collapse. Development of design criteria to meet this performance objective has evolved over time, leading to the current, risk‐targeted maximum considered earthquake (MCER ...

Seismic Retrofit of a Multispan Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridge with Friction Pendulum Devices
Shock and Vibration, 2018 The paper deals with the proposal and application of a procedure for the seismic retrofit of an existing multispan prestressed concrete girder bridge defined explicitly for the use of friction pendulum devices as an isolation system placed between piers ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1655-1674, 10 July 2026.ABSTRACT This article presents a capacity‐based assessment procedure for beam–column (b–c) joints of reinforced concrete frames with floor slabs and transverse beams. The procedure extends a previously proposed assessment methodology for determining the hierarchy of strengths and the sequence of events in symmetrically reinforced planar b–c joints.

Seismic evaluation and retrofit of reinforced concrete structures
Journal of Infrastructure Preservation and ResilienceThe destructive earthquakes in the world clearly reveal the importance of the seismic behavior of the structures. The current study proposes and numerically investigates a systematic technique for the seismic assessment and retrofit of reinforced ...

The economic impact of seismic retrofit on heritage reinforced concrete buildings [PDF]
Urbanism. Arhitectura. Constructii, 2014 Groups of actors (architects, engineers, inhabitants, investors) put different priorities in interventions on heritage buildings. Seismic retrofit can be done at different levels, from avoiding collapse up to assuring immediate postearthquake ...
