Seismic vulnerability assessment of clustered buildings in the historical center of Timisoara: fragility curves for ou-of-plane mechanisms of collapse [PDF]
, 2022 This thesis aims to define the seismic vulnerability assessment of the historical clustered buildings of the city of Timisoara, starting from the rapid survey on a urban scale and the most easily detectable building characteristics. The analysis is based

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Parametric study of the seismic vulnerability of steel structures and their vulnerability curves
Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures, 2020 The use of metal structures is increasingly used. This is due to the fact that these structures are quick to erect (saving time and money) and make it possible to obtain interesting technical characteristics (spans and heights).

Vulnerability to Earthquake Hazard: Bucharest Case Study, Romania
International Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2017 Recent seismic events show that urban areas are increasingly vulnerable to seismic damage, which leads to unprecedented levels of risk. Cities are complex systems and as such their analysis requires a good understanding of the interactions between space ...

Kinematics‐based model for shear capacity assessment of unreinforced interior beam–column joints
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents a kinematics‐based model for assessing the shear strength of reinforced concrete interior beam–column joints without transverse reinforcement. The proposed framework is built on first principles—kinematics, equilibrium, and constitutive relations—and explicitly models discrete cracks by introducing kinematic parameters such
