Incremental dynamic analysis for estimating seismic performance sensitivity and uncertainty.

Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is presented as a powerful tool to evaluate the variability in the seismic demand and capacity of non-deterministic structural models, building upon existing methodologies of Monte Carlo simulationand approximate moment-estimation. A nine-story steel moment-resisti...
