Abstract:Cloud analysis has emerged as a popular tool for the seismic demand/fragility assessment of structures. The output of cloud analysis is a seismic demand model which relates an Engineering Demand Parameter (EDP) indicative of structural distress to an Intensity Measure (IM) signifying the severity of ground shaking. IMs commonly used for probabilistic seismic demand assessment are quite heterogenous with respect to their “efficiency”, i.e. their degree of correlation with a specific EDP. This feature has seriou… Show more
