As an approach to the problem of seismic vulnerability evaluation of existing buildings through the predicted vulnerability method, analytical models can be applied to define the capacity curves of typical buildings which represent different building classes. These...

A new method, Applied Element Method (AEM) for analysis of structures is introduced. The structure is modeled as an assembly of distinct elements made by dividing the structural elements virtually. These elements are connected by distributed springs in both normal and...
