Non-iterative equivalent linearization of inelastic SDOF systems for earthquakes in Japan and California.

The seismic performance of existing structures can be assessed based on nonlinear static procedures, such as the Capacity Spectrum Method. This method essentially approximates peak responses of an inelastic single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system using peak responses of an equivalent linear SDOF mode...
