This paper provides insight into a probabilistic demand analysis of steel-concrete structures equipped with novel dissipative components. DISSIPABLE components were studied in the framework European Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS) project, funded to test large-scale which dissipation is concentrated specifically designed elements that act like fuse can easily be replaced after seismic e...

Abstract Ground motion selection is one of the most important phases in derivation fragility curves through non-linear dynamic analyses. In this context, an easy-to-use software, namely S&M—Select & Match, has been adopted for and spectral matching recorded ground motions approaching a target response spectrum broad period range. paper, after brief description key features S&M tool,...

Abstract The reliable assessment of bridge capacity is necessary in order to ensure the functionality roadway network under normal, or emergency operating conditions. Damage due interaction with environment (e.g., corrosion coastal reinforcement) has been observed many cases, even newly built interurban road networks. Therefore, need for obtaining and including measured data fragility analysis ...

Freeze–thaw damage is one of the primary causes deteriorating seismic resistance reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This paper proposed a freeze–thaw deterioration model for C30 concrete, and it can be employed to study time-varying performance aging RC columns. Next, this developed fragility analysis framework columns considering effect damage. Considering geometric parameters case-study bri...

This paper presents a seismic fragility assessment of medium-rise reinforced concrete (RC) wall buildings, focusing on fishbone-type buildings with high densities and other features such as the presence thin unconfined walls subjected to axial loads significantly larger vertical irregularities. Such are typical residential in Chile countries. To do so, finite element models three index differen...
