The main goal of this study is the development of a simple procedure for the assessment of seismic drift response of building structures located in seismically active and near-fault regions. The displacement-based design approach which correlates observed damage of a structure a…

This research is concerned with the assessment of seismic demand parameters that are needed to implement a capacity/demand based seismic design approach. The objectives of the study are (a) to assess the importance of different demand parameters, (b) to evaluate patterns in dema…
