The seismic behavior of asymmetric building structures is often complex and reductions to
plane problems which can be analyzed with a single horizontal ground-motion component …

This article presents the latest generation of ground-motion models for the prediction of
elastic response (pseudo-) spectral accelerations, as well as peak ground acceleration and …

The true performance of ground-motion prediction equations is often not fully appreciated
until they are used in practice for seismic hazard analyses and applied to a wide range of …

In code-based seismic design and assessment it is often allowed the use of real records as
an input for nonlinear dynamic analysis. On the other hand, international seismic guidelines …

Dynamic nonlinear analysis of structures requires the seismic input to be defined in the form
of acceleration time-series, and these will generally be required to be compatible with the …

This paper presents the overall procedure followed in order to assemble the most recent pan-
European strong-motion databank: Reference Database for Seismic Ground-Motion in …

A key element in any seismic hazard analysis is the selection of appropriate ground-motion
prediction equations (GMPEs). In an earlier paper, focused on the selection and adjustment …

Presented herein is an updated model for empirical prediction of 5%-damped elastic
response spectra in the period range 0–10 s, peak ground acceleration and velocity, based …

The fundamental objective of earthquake engineering is to protect lives and livelihoods
through the reduction of seismic risk. Directly or indirectly, this generally requires …

The intensities of ground motions and structural responses at two sites are correlated. The
magnitude of the correlation depends on the distance between the sites and the natural …
