A Cost–Benefit Analysis Framework for City-Scale Seismic Retrofitting Scheme of Buildings

Buildings, 2023
To improve urban seismic resilience, a reasonable seismic retrofitting scheme for buildings is required. Urban cities contain a large number of buildings, making it challenging to precisely assess the seismic retrofitting benefits of each one. This paper

Seismic Retrofitting Resilience-Based for Strategic RC Buildings

Buildings, 2021
The resilience of communities is given by the ideal convolution of the resilience of all their single parts. Strategic buildings require high levels of performance during and after a seismic sequence.
