Abstract:

This report summarizes a comprehensive analysis of the damped inelastic response of a set of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) oscillators to a large number of ground motion recordings in the NGA-West2 database. We develop and present necessary tools to directly consider the effect of inelastic response in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA).
