The research community’s attention has been attracted to the reliability of networks exposed large-scale disasters and this become a critical concern in network studies during last decade. Earthquakes are high on list those showing most significant impacts communication networks, simultaneously, they least predictable events. This study uses Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis method estimate...

recently, two of the authors have introduced the collapse capacity spectrummethodology, which allows the assessment of the collapse capacity of highly inelastic p-deltasensitive regular frame structures without performing non-linear time-history analyses. the mainingredient of this method is the collapse capacity spectrum, which represents the seismic collapsecapacity of an inelastic non-deteri...

Seismic fragility analysis is an efficient method to evaluate the structural failure probability during earthquake events. Among existing methods, probabilistic seismic demand model (PSDM) and joint (JPSDM) are generally used compute component system fragility, respectively. However, statistical significance behind parameters related current PSDM JPSDM not comparable. Aside from that, when calc...

The effect of an intensity measure’s (IM’s) sufficiency property on the probabilistic assessment reinforced concrete (RC) structures due to floor-to-floor structural pounding conditions is examined. In first part this investigation, efficiency and properties 23 scalar IMs are verified. Then, magnitude Mw distance Rrup examined as elements in a vector with efficient IM evaluate whether they have...
