Seismic risk assessment of reinforced masonry structural wall systems using multivariate data analysis

In contrast to the single design objective associated with force-based design approaches of different seismic force resisting systems (SFRSs), performance-based seismic design (PBSD) allows the selection of more than one design/performance objective. Each performance objective is linked to a tolerable risk level associated with the considered SFRS experiencing a specific damage at a specified seismic hazard level (presented in the form of …
