The lack of empirical data regarding earthquake damage or losses has propelled the development dozens analytical methodologies for derivation fragility and vulnerability functions. Each method will naturally have its strengths weaknesses, which consequently affect associated risk estimates. With purpose sharing knowledge on modeling, identifying shortcomings in existing methods, recommending improvements to current practice, a group experts met Pavia (Italy) April 2017. Critical topics...

Summary The recent concerns regarding the seismic safety of existing building stock have highlighted need for an improvement current assessment procedures. Alongside with development more advanced commercial software tools and computational capacities, nonlinear dynamic analysis is progressively becoming a common preferable procedure in buildings. Besides complexity associated formulation mathematical model, major issues arise related definition action, which can lead to different levels...
Abstract This paper focuses on examining the effects of frequency content ground motion inelastic demands imposed both single degree freedom (SDF) and multi (MDF) steel‐framed systems. A detailed literature review is conducted to identify indicator that best represents motion. The mean period ( T m ) selected owing its ability distinguish between various spectral shapes motion, relationship with magnitude, distance site characteristics. Inelastic displacement SDF systems for target ductility...
The fatigue design of offshore structures normally uses wave and wind loading. Currently, analyses for damage accumulation assessments this type structure are based on signal–noise (S–N) curves welded structural components, the hot-spot stress approach Palmgren–Miner law – according to codes. Fatigue in codes and/or recommended practices supported by global analysis. In paper, a global–local methodology applied an jacket-type platform using local through notch strain parameter is proposed....
