Seismic Intensity Measures Optimized for Low-rise Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures

Two new, highly efficient single-parameter seismic intensity measures (IMs), one structure-specific and structure-independent, are proposed for use on both bare infilled reinforced concrete frames. The efficiency of these IMs has been evaluated along with the several other parameters over a group 1568 ability investigated to predict damage is basis correlation between damage, dispersion this considered frames, its consistency across different levels, bias towards specific structural types.
