This paper presents a probabilistic seismic demand model for predicting the pseudo-acceleration response of a linear nonstructural component attached to a linear structur [...]

By using energy-based methods to design earthquake-resistant structures, the effect of seismic action in terms both of force and displacement demands is taken into accoun [...]

Buildings with in-plan non symmetric mass and stiffness distributions are characterized by a seismic behavior that is commonly defined as irregular. The reason for such c [...]
