However, in Indonesia, many buildings do not meet these standards, requiring a special approach. One such approach is to categorize buildings based on damage levels that follow standardized damage criteria. The main objective of this research is to identify the cost drivers of earthquake rehabilitation and reconstruction at each level of damage. This research uses multiple linear regression analysis models for each damage level (light, medium, and heavy). The regression analysis was conducted on 79 public buildings (schools, clinics, and government buildings) from post-earthquake reconstructions in Lombok in 2018 and Mamuju in 2021, Indonesia. The results show that, at the light damage level, variable cost drivers were identified as seismicity, building occupancy level, total floor area, reconstruction duration, and total reconstructed ceiling area. At the moderate damage level, the identified variable cost drivers were seismicity, building occupancy level, reconstruction duration, total reconstructed wall area, and demolition cost per total area. At the heavy damage level, the variable cost drivers identified were seismicity, location class, structure type, total floor area, and total reconstructed wall area. Identifying cost drivers is important for improving the accuracy of pre-disaster estimation models. In addition, the identified cost driver variables also reflect the key variables in the standardized building code that are often not complied with in Indonesia, indicating that regulatory improvements could begin with these variables.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9364,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering","volume":"23 13","pages":"5469 - 5493"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145256465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially, a comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted to identify relevant vulnerability parameters for calculating the Vulnerability Index. Huelva, located in southern Spain, was chosen as a pilot city due to the representativeness of its buildings and the availability of original project documents. Analysing these documents, along with microzonation studies and on-site visual inspections, facilitated an understanding of the structural types (primarily reinforced concrete moment-resistant frames or unreinforced masonry walls) and the further analysis of the selected vulnerability parameters. The new method improves upon the original by incorporating several enhancements, like integrating the number of floors into the Type of Soil Modifier, creating a Combined Modifier that amalgamates parameters based on the construction year, defining the Vertical Irregularity Modifier based on the building’s compactness ratio, and introducing a Slope of the Ground Modifier. Additionally, it considers pounding effects solely for staggered floor slabs and features adapted modifier weights for the specific building types. To address potential overestimation caused by summing multiple modifiers, the method employs a modified square root of the sum of squares (SRSS) approach, which provides a more robust estimation of their combined impact. The method was applied to buildings in Huelva using deterministic (recurrence of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake) and probabilistic (code, intensity VII) scenarios. Results reveal expected damage levels contradicting the damage control philosophy, indicating the need for preventing interventions and further research on similar structures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9364,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering","volume":"23 13","pages":"5429 - 5467"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10518-025-02242-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145256738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These events have considerably increased research attention, especially on the seismic performance of retrofitted buildings. This study investigates a school building that was retrofitted in 2020 through the in-plane insertion of reinforced concrete shear walls but collapsed during the 2023 earthquakes. It is a significant case, as it is the only retrofitted building that collapsed according to official records. A comprehensive dataset was collected, comprising retrofitting plans, structural drawings, material and soil properties, and structural analysis reports. Finite element models of the retrofitted and non-retrofitted structures were developed in ETABS, and nonlinear pushover and time history analyses were performed. Pushover analyses assessed the retrofitting’s engineering suitability, while time-history analyses investigated the collapse mechanisms and overall seismic response. Results were compared in terms of story displacement, drift, forces, acceleration, energy components, and structural performance. Pushover analyses demonstrated up to an 80.6% reduction in both story displacements and drift ratios after retrofitting. However, damage levels in some columns increased, and improvements at upper stories remained limited. Time history analyses revealed reductions in displacement and drift demands of up to 89%, confirming overall performance gains. Stiffness increase caused substantial rises in story accelerations (up to 1600%) and shear forces (up to 70%), particularly in upper floors. These findings indicate that performance limitations stem from both design-related and construction-phase deficiencies. Therefore, future retrofitting strategies should adopt a holistic approach, integrating balanced stiffness distribution, optimized shear wall layout, precise connection detailing, and strict construction quality control.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9364,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering","volume":"23 11","pages":"4943 - 4974"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145037422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study follows the recent development of the horizontal response spectrum in the framework of the revision of the Algerian seismic code RPA99 (Laouami and Slimani 2025). The same ground motion database is used, which comprises 773 3-component records, from magnitude ranging from 3.0 to 7.4, and hypocentral distances less than 200 Km. A statistical method is used to estimate constant spectral acceleration branch limits, attenuation indexes, and the ratio of the vertical to horizontal response spectra, at two seismicity levels: weak to moderate seismicity (wms) and moderate to high seismicity (mhs). The results of the analysis showed significant differences between the control periods of the elastic response spectra as a function of both the site class and the magnitude. The results reveal that the control period T<sub>Cv</sub> increases as the site moves from rock to soft classes and from low to high earthquake magnitude, whereas the attenuation index decreases with increasing earthquake magnitude. The findings reveal also that the vertical to horizontal spectral ratio increase with magnitude and can exceed unity at near field for vertical vibration periods in the range 0.05–0.1 s. The recommended values of the ratio of vertical to horizontal design acceleration, <span>(:{C}_{v/h})</span>, for wms and mhs seismicity levels, are 0.60 and 0.80 respectively. Comparison to the vertical spectra of the ASCE7-16 and the new generation EC8-draft2022 standards, reveals that period Tc of the proposed spectra is in agreement with the ASCE7-16 for the wms seismicity level, and with EC8-draft2022 for the mhs seismicity level. Finally, two spectral shapes are proposed for the two seismicity levels wms and mhs.

Accurate, time-resolved assessment of stiffness variations is essential for structural health monitoring (SHM) and seismic performance evaluation. This study proposes a novel framework based on the Enhanced Hilbert-Huang Transform (EHHT), integrating Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and a newly defined Instantaneous Total Amplitude (ITA), to identify story-level stiffness variations. Unlike traditional frequency-domain methods that rely on stationarity assumptions, the proposed approach enables extraction of noise-resilient and physically interpretable stiffness patterns under both linear and nonlinear responses. The dynamic equilibrium equation is reformulated in the time-frequency domain, allowing for robust estimation of stiffness while minimizing the impact of modeling uncertainties, high-frequency noise, and permanent deformations. The method is validated through numerical and experimental studies, including a four-story RC frame with nonlinear behavior and a full-scale five-story RC structure tested on the UCSD-NEES shake table. Comparative analysis with analytical formulations, Power Spectral Density (PSD-based) operational modal analysis, and modal flexibility confirms the superior performance of the EHHT-based method. Findings highlight that stiffness degradation may occur even under weak ground motions, and that characteristics derived from strong shaking may not represent post-seismic conditions accurately. Instead, ambient vibration data recorded after seismic events are more suitable for reliable model updating. The proposed EHHT framework offers a theoretically sound and practically applicable tool for post-earthquake stiffness monitoring in civil infrastructure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9364,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering","volume":"23 13","pages":"5399 - 5427"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145256765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The median capacity curve of each cluster is then used to derive Analytical Fragility Functions (AFFs), using a capacity-demand approach, which considers different sets of nonlinear spectra.
