Conditional methods for seismic risk assessment, such as those at the basis of FEMA P-58, are reliant on the selection of an intensity measure (IM). The importance of selecting the right IM (e.g., sufficiency and efficiency) to accurately assess structural performance is well known. A wide range of IMs exist in the literature, with different IMs considered suitable for investigating damage to different structural types or components. Nevertheless, there has been little study on the impact that IM selection has on risk and damage assessments. Therefore, this study aims at evaluating the impact that IM selection has on damage estimates using FEMA P-58 component-level procedures

Abstract
Conditional methods for seismic risk assessment, such as those at the basis of FEMA P-58, are reliant on the selection of an intensity measure (IM). The importance of selecting the right IM (e.g., sufficiency and efficiency) to accurately assess structural performance is well known. A wide range of IMs exist in the literature, with different IMs considered suitable for investigating damage to different structural types or components. Nevertheless, there has been little study on the impact that IM selection has on risk and damage assessments. Therefore, this study aims at evaluating the impact that IM selection has on damage estimates using FEMA P-58 component-level proceduresI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
