Seismic performance analysis examines how buildings, bridges and other structures behave under earthquake loading, with the aim of predicting damage, ensuring life safety and minimising economic loss.

This study investigated the seismic response of Rigid Wall-Flexible Roof Diaphragm (RWFD) buildings under extreme ground shaking was studied. RWFD buildings are a type of low-rise industrial ...

Scientists successfully addressed mathematical challenges in conventional Spectral Matrix analysis, used to analyze three-component seismic signals, by introducing time-delay components. The new ...
