    Dear Reza, it is an interesting question. But, what is the probability of occurrence of both situations at the same time? I prefer to use passive or semi-active control systems instead of seismic rehabilitation by itself. Semi-active control systems are well developed (i.e. https://ascelibrary.org/doi/10.1061/%28ASCE%290733-9445%282009%29135%3A4%28425%29 ) and are easy to install.
    Regards,

    No, It is unlikely that extreme events are concurrent.
