This paper reviews alternative selection procedures based on established methods for
incorporating strong ground motion records within the framework of seismic design of …

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 …

It is desirable that nonlinear dynamic analyses for structural fragility assessment are
performed using unscaled ground motions. The widespread use of a simple dynamic …

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 …

This paper describes an algorithm to efficiently select ground motions from a database while
matching a target mean, variance, and correlations of response spectral values at a range of …

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 …

A machine learning framework is presented to assess post-earthquake structural safety. The
concepts of response and damage patterns are introduced and incorporated into a …

The estimation of building fragility, ie, the probability function of seismic demand exceeding
a certain limit state capacity given the seismic intensity, is a common process inherent in any …
