TLDR
In this paper, the correlation between several intensity measures (IMs) and the maximum inter-story drift of steel structures was investigated, and a new IM is proposed, called IΔ-PGV, which is highly correlated with MIDR.Citations

A comparative study between the pre-engineered structures and conventional structures using STAADPRO
TL;DR: Pre-engineered buildings are becoming an effective replacement of conventional steel buildings in every aspect and shows more advanced results in case of cost comparison, construction time, quality parameters and architectural point of view.

Efficiency of Intensity Measures Considering Near- and Far-Fault Ground Motion Records
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the identification of high-efficiency intensity measures to predict the seismic response of buildings affected by near and far-fault ground motion records, and find that the efficiency of the intensity measures is similar for both subsets of records, but it varies depending on the engineering demand parameters.

Mechanistic Seismic Damage Model for Reinforced Concrete
Young‐Ji Park,Alfredo H.-S. Ang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for evaluating structural damage in reinforced concrete structures under earthquake ground motions is proposed, where damage is expressed as a linear function of the maximum deformation and the effect of repeated cyclic loading.

Hysteretic models that incorporate strength and stiffness deterioration
TL;DR: In this paper, three basic hysteretic models used in seismic demand evaluation are modified to include deterioration properties: bilinear, peak-oriented, and pinching, and the models incorporate an energy-based deterioration parameter that controls four cyclic deterioration modes: basic strength, postcapping strength, unloading stiffness, and accelerated reloading stiffness deterioration.

A study on the duration of strong earthquake ground motion
Mi D. Trifunac,A. G. Brady +1 more
TL;DR: A simple definition of the duration of strong earthquake ground motion based on the mean-square integral of motion has been presented in this article, which is closely related to that part of the strong motion which contributes significantly to the seismic energy as recorded at a point and to the related spectral amplitudes.
