Nonlinear static procedures, which relate the seismic demand of a structure to that of an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) oscillator, are well-established tool [...]

To assess the seismic performance of a structural system within an analytical context, we need, among others, to specify a ground motion Intensity Measure (IM). The wary [...]
