Critical response of structures to multicomponent earthquake excitation.

This paper aims to develop an improved understanding of the critical response of structures to multicomponent seismic motion characterized by three uncorrelated components that are defined along its principal axes : two horizontal and the vertical component. An explicit formula, convenient for code...
