Linear and nonlinear seismic responses can be estimated using the time history analysis for given ground motion records. To reduce the computing time, design codes prescribe guidelines to select a small number of ground motion records to perform the analysis and to estimate the seismic design demand. However, the assessment of the statistics of the seismic design level by using a small number of record...
A reliability-based development of load factors for the combination of seismic and gravity loads is presented. The procedure aims at minimizing the total expected life-cycle cost of buildings, having as a constraint a maximum value of the mean annual failure rate. The loads considered are dead, live and earthquake loads. The methodology is applied to a large inventory of reinforced concrete frames...
