Multiple earthquake effects on degrading reinforced concrete structures
… loadings. Deterioration effects are obvious in structures that experienced main-shock aftershock earthquake sequence and were able to withstand the main-shock however they collapsed in the smaller aftershock. Limited research has addressed the seismic behavior of structures subjected to multiple …
