Abstract: The torsional response of Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame buildings within the Direct Displacement-Based Design (DDBD) framework is considered by using semi-empirical equations developed for wall-type asymmetric structures. These equations when applied to RC frame buildings… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.soildyn.2020.106096
Abstract: Abstract Estimations of seismic risk in urban areas should include quantifications of the expected damage to civil structures subjected to earthquakes. In buildings, this quantification depends on the maximum inter-story drift (MIDR), among other aspects.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/8755293020936707
Abstract: Retrofitting older reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings aims to mitigate the well-established seismic vulnerabilities of these structures. However, the impact of retrofit design decisions (e.g. increases in strength, stiffness, or deformation capacity) on global performance… read more here.
