Uniform hazard versus uniform risk bases for performance based earthquake engineering of light-frame wood construction.

This paper investigates the implications of designing for uniform hazard versus uniform risk for light-frame wood residential construction subjected to earthquakes in the United States. Using simple structural models of one-story residences with typical lateral force resisting systems (shear walls)...
