Seismicity: Intensity Measures• Structure Independent Measures
• Magnitude• Distance• Arias intensity (acceleration & velocity)• Cumulative absolute velocity• Cumulative absolute displacement• Frequency ratios• Strong motion duration• RMS acceleration• Characteristic intensity• PGA, PGV, PGD
• Structure Dependent Measures• Sa, Sv, Sd• Sd,inelastic
Demand: Damage Measures
• Steel strain es
• Concrete strain ec
• Curvature ductility• Displacement ductility• Drift ratio• Residual displacement index• Plastic rotation• Hysteretic energy• Normalized hysteretic energy• Maximum column curvature

Design Parameters - Sd vs mf
stiffer
Increasing strength lowers demand. Slope similar for linear case
Design Parameters - Sd vs mf
stiffer
Increasing strength lowers demand. Slope increases with strength for nonlinear case
Current Status
• All ground motions and all bridgeparameters successfully run
• Specific bridge has complete database of allIM-DM combinations
• Abutment dominated performance for shortbridge creates long/trans data discrepancy
Immediate Future
• Evaluate all DM-IM combinations andtrends
• Refine abutment model
• Address other bridge configurations withselect few DM-IM pairs
• M, R dependence of DM
• Comparison with SDOF and simpleranalysis techniques
