“…The dense smoke produced by the fire affects the appearance of the building and causes environmental pollution [68][69][70]. In addition, the use of fire extinguishers, fire sprinklers, and firetruck fire extinguishing equipment will cause secondary damage to buildings and residents' properties [71]. Finally, news and media reports will reduce the brand, function, and cultural effects of the community.…”

Natural hazards bring significant influences on and socioeconomic loss to cities and communities. Historic events show that fire following earthquake (FFE) is the most influential uncertain disturbance on the urban infrastructure system. Under the FFE scenario, the concept of resilience is widely implemented to make up the shortcomings derived from the traditional disaster management methodology. Resilient cities and communities are required to improve the systemic performance in responding to the FFE. To fulfill these goals, measuring community resilience is an essential work for municipal policy makers. Therefore, this study conducted a comprehensive assessment on community resilience adapted to the FFE scenario. The systematic literature review (SLR) was employed to identify the indicators, and the analytic network process (ANP) technique was implemented to determine their weights. 20 indicators were extracted, and 4 communities that encountered FFE in China were selected for the empirical analysis. Thereafter, the preference ranking organization method for enriched evaluation (PROMETHEE) II technique was selected through using the multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods selection framework to fulfill the comprehensive assessment. The results were discussed and demonstrated with graphical analysis for interactive aid (GAIA) technique. The findings revealed that the G Community won the highest score and had the strongest performance. However, H Community had the lowest score and the weakest performance. The proposed comprehensive methods could benefit the decision-makers and the policy executors achieving the community resilience adapted to the FFE scenario by improving the effective indicators.

The third step of the above procedure is commonly applied in practice, employing fragility relations defined for the elements at risk; in the case examined herein, the NG pipelines.…”

“…Regarding scientific research studies, a major earthquake can be accompanied by foreshocks and aftershocks (Tariq et al , 2019; Mirzaei and Gerami, 2019). Main earthquake or foreshock can cause structural and non-structural damages, including fracture of fuel transfer pipelines followed by fire (Mousavi et al , 2008; Omidvar et al , 2013). Aftershocks and main earthquake can occur with intervals of minutes or hours or even days where the consecutive occurrence of these incidents (earthquake and fire) can cause an early collapse of the structure damaged during the former fire.…”

Purpose The high heat induced by fire can substantially decrease the load-bearing capacity, which is more critical in unprotected steel structures than concrete reinforced structures. One of the conventional steel structures is a steel-plate shear wall (SPSW) in which thin infill steel plates are used to resist against the lateral loads. Due to the small thickness of infill plates, high heat seems to dramatically influence the lateral load-bearing capacity of this type of structures. Therefore, this study aims to provide an investigation into the performance of SPSW with reduced beam section at high temperature. Design/methodology/approach In the present paper, to examine the seismic performance of SPSW at high temperature, 48 single-span single-story steel frames equipped with steel plates with the thicknesses of 2.64 mm, 5 mm and 7 mm and yield stresses of 85 MPa, 165 MPa, 256 MPa and 300 MPa were numerically modeled. Furthermore, their behavioral indices, namely, strength, stiffness, ductility and hysteresis behavior, were studied at the temperatures of 20, 458, 642 and 917? The simulated models in the present paper are based on the experimental specimen presented by Vian and Bruneau (2004). Findings The obtained results revealed that the high heat harshly diminishes the seismic performance of SPSW so that the lateral strength is reduced even by 95% at substantially high temperatures. Therefore, SPSW starts losing its strength and stiffness at high temperature such that it completely loses its capacity of strength, stiffness and energy dissipation at the temperature of 917? Moreover, it was proved that by separating the percentage of their participations variations of the infill plate in SPSW, their behavior and the bare frame can be examined even at high temperatures. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the seismic performance of SPSW at different temperatures has not been evaluated and compared yet.
