Una matriz tipológica de edificios (BTM, Building Typology Matrix) agrupa, en un conjunto de clases de edificios predefinidos, los edificios con sistemas estructurales y características de comportamiento similares, siendo ...

Several methodologies for assessing seismic risk extract information from the statistical relationship between the intensity of ground motions and the structural response. The first group is represented by intensity measures ...

Non-linear dynamic analysis and the damage index of Park-Ang have been often used to assess expected seismic damage to a structure. Depending on the size of the structure and the duration of the record, the computational ...

© 2016 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht In this work, the vulnerability of an unreinforced masonry building, evaluated on the one hand by using the incremental dynamic analysis, and on the other hand by using nine ...

A parametric model for capacity curves and capacity spectra is proposed. The capacity curve is considered to be composed of a linear part and a nonlinear part. The normalized nonlinear part is modelled bymeans of a cumulative ...

According to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015–2030), disasters have demonstrated that the recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction phase, which needs to be prepared ahead of a disaster, is a critical ...

Ambient vibration testing has become a useful tool to assess the operational conditions of any existing structure, and allows the engineers to maintain a continuous monitoring in order to check its structural health ...

The use of sensors to obtain the dynamic properties of structures by means of ambient vibrations has become a common practice. However, conventional and more extensively used methods require the installation of sensors, ...

In the scientific literature, a significant number of non-linear procedures are proposed in order to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of a building. In this work, and in the context of the Risk-UE methodology, a complete ...

The basic input when seismic risk is estimated in urban environments is the expected physical damage level of buildings. The vulnerability index and capacity spectrum-based methods are the tools that have been used most ...
