Nonlinear stochastic dynamic analysis for performance-based earthquake engineering.

A new approach for computing seismic fragility curves for nonlinear structures for use in performance-based earthquake engineering analysis is proposed. The approach makes use of a recently developed method for nonlinear stochastic dynamic analysis by tail-equivalent linearization. The ground motion...
