Abstract:Recent earthquakes have highlighted that aftershocks can considerably increase the structural demand and seismic risk of engineering structures. This study presents a probabilistic approach to assess the seismic risk of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures subjected to mainshock‐aftershock sequences. In this approach, a predictive fragility method is used to evaluate the probabilities of structural damage under sequential excitations. The Bayes theorem is employed to generate posterior distributions of un… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
