✦ Synopsis

h i g h l i g h t s

A seismic load can be of any type from force-controlled to displacement-controlled. Seismic input and structural features play a concurrent role in seismic load categorization. A margin index is introduced, which controls seismic load categorization. A formula is given for calculating the margin index. A formula is given that provides the primary part of a seismically-induced stress.
