A slama-based analytical procedure for the cost/performance-based evaluation of buildings
The decision-making process for seismic risk is affected by the assessment/design procedure adopted and rigorous methodologies have been developed to estimate performance metrics relevant to stakeholders to take informed decisions. Input data for loss estimations of buildings are typically floor accelerations and inter-storey drift ratios, generally obtained from: 1) simplified evaluations, based on linear models and static analysis, 2) more accurate non-linear static analyses, or 3) more complex and time-consuming non-linear history analyses.
