Abstract
The incremental dynamic analysis is a powerful tool for evaluating the seismic vulnerability and risk of buildings. It allows calculating the global damage of structures for different peak ground accelerations, PGA, and representing this result by means of damage curves. Such curves [...]
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate a dissipative reinforced concrete structural wall that can improve the behavior of a tall multi-storey building, evaluating the damage it undergoes in comparison with that of a solid wall. The comparative nonlinear dynamic analysis between [...]

The incremental dynamic analysis is a powerful tool for evaluating the seismic vulnerability and risk of buildings. It allows calculating the global damage of structures for different PGAs and representing this result by means of damage curves. Such curves are used by many methods [...]
Abstract
This study determines the structural behavior of a four level framed building with composite RC and steel structure designed according Venezuelan seismic codes. The structural system consists of RC frames in the first three levels and steel frames in the fourth. It was performed [...]
Abstract
This paper describes how pipelines are often located in seismic unstable slopes where earthquake-induced movements may cause their collapse. Thus, the analysis of the soil-pipe interaction plays a large role for the seismic hazard prevision. This paper deals with an analytical approach [...]Abstract
This paper aims at contributing to the seismic vulnerability assessment of a historic brick masonry building constructed in Istanbul by comparison of the derived analytical and empirical fragility functions. For this purpose, Incremental Dynamic Analysis for each ground motion record [...]
