Abstract

ABSTRACT Two new, highly efficient single-parameter seismic intensity measures (IMs), one structure-specific and one structure-independent, are proposed for use on both bare and infilled reinforced concrete frames. The efficiency of these IMs has been evaluated along with the efficiency of several other IMs and seismic parameters over a group of 1568 bare and infilled frames. The ability of the investigated IMs to predict damage is evaluated on the basis of the correlation between IMs and the seismic damage, the dispersion of this correlation over the considered frames, its consistency across different seismic intensity levels, and its bias towards specific structural types.
