A large and uniform dataset is used to find equations for the prediction of absolute spectral acceleration ordinates in Europe and adjacent areas, in terms of magnitude, source-distance and site geology. The dataset used is shown to be representative of European strong motion in terms of the attenuation of peak ground acceleration. The equations are recommended for use in the range of magnitudes from M s 4.0 to 7.5 and for source-distances of up to 200 km.read more

Derivation of vulnerability functions for European-type RC structures based on observational data
Tiziana Rossetto,Amr S. Elnashai +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed existing vulnerability relationships for reinforced concrete structures with a view to their application to a European (and similar) seismic risk assessment scenario, and derived new empirical fragility curves for reinforcedcrete building populations based on a data bank of 99 post-earthquake damage distributions observed in 19 earthquakes.
