Abstract
This article reviews the ground motion parameters than can be assumed as structural and non-structural damage measures. Measures of seismic damage potential based on ground motion records are first described, followed by a discussion of the damage measures relating to simple (linear) and more complex (non-linear) structural responses. The second section reviews the measures of damage phenomena which govern structural degradation and/or collapse, including experimental results and analytical models. The relationship between earthquake characteristics and type and level of damage on the seismic response of structures is examined, and data from different well-known destructive earthquakes are given.
