D. Dissertation: Methodology and Applications for Integrating Aftershock Earthquake Hazard into Performance-Based Seismic Design The highlights of my PhD dissertation are as below: Calibrating the wood-frame buildings in the portfolio using a nonlinear degrading hysteresis model Performing nonlinear time-history analysis on the calibrated models using software MATLAB Developing hazard curves for mainshocks and aftershocks Developing collapse fragility curves for the mainshock-only and mainshock+aftershock scenarios Convolution of the fragility curves with site-specific hazard curves to get collapse probabilities (Risk Integral) Finding the change needed in design to account for the aftershock hazard PUBLICATIONS Journal Papers Nazari, N., van de Lindt, J.W., Li, Y.
