Seismic Reliability Evaluation of Structural Systems for Different Soil Conditions

Mercado, Francisco Javier Villegas; Azizsoltani, Hamoon; … - In: International Journal of Geotechnical Earthquake … 8 (2017) 2, pp. 23-38

This article describes how the seismic design of a structure considering soil conditions is a very difficult and complicated process. In order to minimize economic cost following an earthquake, the performance-based seismic design (PBSD) concept is proposed. This lets engineers design structures...
