Even though a number of parameters have been proposed in the literature for measuring the capacity of earthquake ground motions to damage structures, most of them are not consistent with building damage observed during earthquakes. In this study, a parameter for measuring seismic damage capacity is

Usually different nonlinear time responses due to earthquake ground motion are distinguished by non-localized spectra, such as the response or power spectra. However, these spectra are often not able to explain the large discrepancy among structural responses caused by different earthquake records.
Physically damaged wheat-starch granules are partly soluble in cold water and, on complete dissolution in methyl sulphoxide, show a limiting viscosity number lower than that of the undamaged granules. Extraction of damaged granules with cold water preferentially leaches out amylopectin of low molecu
The quantification and prediction of damage due to different seismic actions to structure types of different strength is an important problem not yet solved in the Earthquake Engineering field. In addition, owing to the fact that macroseismic information cannot be used directly in dynamic calculatio
