      Collapse Fragility Curves for RC Buildings Exhibiting Brittle Failure Modes 

      Kyriakides, N. C.; Pantazopoulou, Stavroula J. (2018)
      Defining the collapse probability of existing nonseismically designed RC buildings is a challenge mainly due to the fact that its determination relies on the simulation of the brittle failure modes controlling the collapse ...
