Assessment indices for the seismic vulnerability of existing R.C. buildings (2010)
Journal Article
Thermou, G. E., & Pantazopoulou, S. J. (2011). Assessment indices for the seismic vulnerability of existing R.C. buildings. Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics, 40(3), 293-313. doi:10.1002/eqe.1028

The seismic vulnerability of old multi?storey reinforced concrete (R.C.) buildings reinforced with substandard details is assessed as a function of interstorey drift demand imposed by the design earthquake while considering brittle termination of ela...

Design and assessment spectra for retrofitting of RC buildings (2010)
Journal Article
Thermou, G. E., Elnashai, A. S., & Pantazopoulou, S. J. (2010). Design and assessment spectra for retrofitting of RC buildings. Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 14(5), 743-770. doi:10.1080/13632460903410764

This article presents a novel approach for deriving Retrofit Design Spectra (RDS) that are intended for use in preliminary development and assessment of seismic upgrading scenarios of existing structures. The new spectral representation relates the c... Read More about Design and assessment spectra for retrofitting of RC buildings.
