International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021 Building damage after seismic disasters is one of the most vital factors threatening people's lives. The seismic vulnerability of buildings over large scales at the regional or country level is a key parameter for the mitigation of seismic disaster risk ...

Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces

Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Simplified Vulnerabiltiy Analysis (SVA) Preliminary Design of The Frame Structure In The Architectural Design Process [PDF]
, 2017 There is a need of a good cooperation between the architects and structural experts for the creation of earthquake architecture. Through some ways in the design process, the architects can identify and evaluate the vulnerability of the building towards ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent tsunamigenic earthquakes in Japan have highlighted the emerging fire hazard triggered by tsunami inundation and its impact on tsunami vertical evacuation (TVE) structures. This new type of fire following earthquake, referred to as “tsunami fires,” may be a potential universal hazard that tsunami‐prone countries face; however, it has not

Generalised Kinematic Single‐Impact and Multi‐Impact Models for Rocking Structures
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rocking motion is fundamental in earthquake engineering, as it reflects the dynamic behaviour of many structural systems. However, simulating the impacts during rocking motion remains a challenging topic, as they occur in a very short time, generate high impulsive forces, cause sudden changes in velocities and result in rapid energy losses.

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 ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study develops a comprehensive framework for assessing time and state‐dependent aftershock damage accumulation under an M9.0 megathrust interface earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The framework integrates aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (APSHA) and state‐dependent fragility analysis (SDFA) within a ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.
