Abstract

The goal of this article is to select those real (or recorded) ground motions capable of exposing the low- and mid-rise reinforced concrete frame structures to an extreme limit state. By performing correlation analyses, two optimal intensity measures are first selected to represent the ground motion damage potential. Then based on each record's damage potential, four subsets of strong ground motions, referred to as the most unfavorable ground motions, are identified and preliminarily confirmed to be applicable to the low- and mid-rise RC frame structures.
