This paper deals with the prediction of global and localized damage and the future reliability estimation of partly damaged reinforced concrete structures under seismic excitation. Initially, a global maximum softening damage indicator is considered based on the variation of the eigenfrequency of th

Two methods are currently used to calculate the expected loss for existing buildings for a time period of interest. The first method simply multiplies the annual expected loss by the time period. The second method uses the exceedance probability for that time period to calculate th e expected loss.
In this paper, we derive relations between stop-loss premiums and their associated ruin probabilities by use of the new worse than used (NWU) aging property of the ruin probability. General upper and lower bounds for the stop-loss premium are derived. Also, we get a general upper bound for the ruin
A new plastic-damage constitutive model for cyclic loading of concrete has been developed for the earthquake analysis of concrete dams. The rate-independent model consistently includes the effects of strain softening, represented by separate damage variables for tension and compression. A simple sca
