Abstract Seismic evaluation of existing structures is based on determining the damage likely to occur during lifetime these due earthquake ground motion excitation. However, there not a consensus about acceptable level seismic damage, expected structures, and hazard level(s) evaluate at. This paper presents methodology for parametric calculation collapse risk an Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame b...

Cylindrical liquid storage tanks are considered as vital structures in industrial complex whose nonlinear dynamic behavior is of crucial importance. Some of these structures around the world have demonstrated poor seismic behavior over the last decades. There are several methods and techniques for rehabilitation and reducing damages in these structures which among them passive control devices, ...

The seismic risk of the buildings of Barcelona, Spain, is analyzed by using a method based on the capacity spectrum. The seismic hazard in the area of the city is described by means of the reduced 5% damped elastic response spectrum. Obtaining fragility curves for the most important building types of an urban center requires an important amount of information about the structures and the use of...
