Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A reinforced concrete waffle‐flat plate structure was subjected to a sequence of bidirectional near‐fault ground motions on a shake table until collapse. The test specimen was designed under current building codes and assigned a region of moderate seismicity.

Impact of Beam‐Column Joint Modeling Uncertainties on the Seismic Response of Low‐Rise RC Frames
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Incremental recordwise Latin hypercube sampling (iLHS) and multiple stripe analysis (MSA) are employed to evaluate the seismic performance of low‐rise RC moment‐resisting frames subjected to uncertainties of both the values of the model parameters and the model type itself.

Optimization of Viscoelastic Tuned Mass Damper Systems Subjected to Coloured Excitations
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent decades, there has been growing interest in innovative vibration control strategies to improve the structural reliability of buildings and civil structures against earthquakes, windstorms and other dynamic excitations. One of the most effective methods for reducing dynamic responses is the implementation of tuned mass dampers (TMDs),
