Given the devastating losses incurred by past major earthquake events together with the
ever-increasing global seismic exposures due to population growth and urbanization …

The assessment of the seismic performance depends on the choice of the earthquake
Intensity Measure (IM). During the past years many IMs, which take into account not only …

In most current seismic investigations on bridges with tall piers, only mainshock actions are
considered without incorporating the effect of mainshock-aftershock (MA) sequences. This …

This paper investigates the performance of spectral acceleration averaged over a period
range (Saavg) as an intensity measure (IM) for estimating the collapse risk of structures …

A common goal of dynamic structural analysis is to predict the response of a structure
subjected to ground motions having a specified spectral acceleration at a given period. This …

The use of a seismic intensity measure (IM) is paramount in decoupling seismic hazard and
structural response estimation when assessing the performance of structures. For this to be …

The selection of a scalar Intensity Measure (IM) for performing analytical vulnerability (loss)
assessment across a building class is addressed. We investigate the ability of several IM …

Modern societies and economies become more complex and at the same time more
sophisticated. Still, the experience from earthquakes reveals that even the developed …

Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is presented as a powerful tool to evaluate the variability
in the seismic demand and capacity of non‐deterministic structural models, building upon …

This paper addresses the probabilistic seismic demand model (PSDM) which is the
relationship between the intensity measure (IM)(such as spectral acceleration) and the …
