Seismic isolation is effective in reducing seismic demand to buildings and mitigating seismic damage costs. To corroborate this fact quantitatively by taking all possible seismic events that occur during the service period of a building into account, this study investigates probabilistic characteristics of the peak ductility demand of inelastic superstructures with linear/bilinear base isolators subject...
Optimal seismic design level can be prescribed based on the minimization of the expected lifecycle cost or the expected utility theory. Recently, behavioral economists and cognitive psychologists have developed the popular cumulative prospect theory (CPT) to describe observed decision making behavior. In this study, an attempt is made in applying the CPT to reveal the implied seismic design preference...
