Implementation of linear analysis in the early stages of performance-based design for steel structures
… the aftermath of the destructive 1994 Northridge Earthquake in Southern California, the earthquake engineering industry experienced a shift towards expanding seismic requirements beyond surviving global collapse to include performance criteria. As a part of this effort, the Pacific Earthquake …

Performance evaluation of innovative toggle brace damper for flexible structure seismic upgrade
… elements. This thesis focuses on the seismic performance evaluation of the toggle brace frame configuration employed for seismic upgrade. In order to carry out a performance evaluation of the toggle brace damper, a practical approach to performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) is …

Stochastic prediction of collapse of building structures under seismic excitations
… safety of building occupants during a strong earthquake-shaking event by ensuring acceptably small likelihood of structural collapse. Therefore, accurate estimate of collapse likelihood of buildings under seismic excitations has recently become critical in efforts to promote hazard-resilience …

Machine Learning Based Analysis Of Civil Infrastructure In The Presence Of Sparse Data
<p>The high computational cost of estimating engineering demand parameters (EDPs) via finite element (FE) models, which incorporate uncertainties in earthquake events and material properties, limits the application of the Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) framework. Previous efforts …

Bayesian Methods for Intensity Measure and Ground Motion Selection in Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering
The objective of quantitative Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) is designing buildings that meet the specified performance objectives when subjected to an earthquake. One challenge to completely relying upon a PBEE approach in design practice is the open-ended nature of characterizing …

Seismic experimental analyses and surrogate models of multi-component systems in special-risk industrial facilities
Nowadays, earthquakes are one of the most catastrophic natural events that have a significant human, socio-economic and environmental impact. Besides, based on both observations of damage following recent major/moderate seismic events and numerical/experimental studies, it clearly emerges that …

Behaviour and modelling of the inelastic response of concrete and steel-concrete infrastructures subjected to low-cycle fatigue
… the seismic response of infrastructures under an earthquake requires a careful evaluation of the level of damage of structural elements. In this thesis, typical case studies are considered, such as a concrete tunnel lining and a composite steel-concrete bridge. In the first part of the thesis, a …

Numerical and experimental methods for seismic risk assessment of civil and industrial structures
… they have not been analysed with modern performance-based procedures. This thesis will explore some important themes in seismic risk assessment with a special focus on petrochemical plants and components. In the first part of the thesis the case study of a probabilistic seismic demand …

Improved ground motion intensity measures for reliability-based demand analysis of structures
In Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE), evaluating the seismic performance (or seismic risk) of a structure at a designed site has gained major attention, especially in the past decade. One of the objectives in PBEE is to quantify the seismic reliability of a structure (due to the …
