✦ Synopsis

Several parameters have been proposed in the literature for the evaluation of seismic damage. However, in most cases the correlation between results obtained using these parameters and observed damage in structures has not been satisfactory. A parameter for measuring seismic damage previously proposed by the first author is used in this study to analyse a set of 15 accelerograms recorded in 11 earthquakes experienced in different countries. Results using this parameter are compared to global building damage observed during these earthquakes. The use of the parameter proposed here yields results which are consistent with building damage observed in the earthquakes studied.

In this paper, the non-linear seismic response of arch dams is presented using the concept of Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM). The analysis is performed using the "nite element technique and appropriate non-linear material and damage models in conjunction with the -algorithm for time marching. Beca

Traditionally, seismic torsional provisions have been evaluated based on the assumption that the strength of the lateral load resisting elements can be adjusted without changing their sti!ness. There is an important class of elements that a change of their lateral strength implies a corresponding ch
