Abstract: Common practice for evaluating the seismic performance of earth dams uses design ground motions selected to be consistent with a target design response spectrum, which are subsequently used in dynamic analyses that estimate ...

Abstract: A seismic demand model attempts to describe the behavior of a structure in terms of a set of predictor variables that represents the loading. For buildings, the most frequently used demand parameter and predictor variables ...

Abstract: Performance-based probabilistic approaches (PBPAs) for estimating seismically-induced slope displacements (D) provide hazard-consistent estimates through the evaluation of D hazard curves (DHCs), and hence, its use in ...

Abstract: The need to consider only a small number of ground motions combined with the complexities of response sensitivity to both modeling choices and ground motion variability calls for an assessment of current ground motion ...
