DISSERTATION
“Direct Probabilistic Seismic Analysis: Implementing Non-linear Dynamic Assessments”, under the
supervision of Professor C. Allin Cornell.
Developing an analytic basis for probabilistic seismic risk assessment of structures; based on which a
family of design formats suitable for implementation in seismic guidelines were derived. In particular,
derivation of demand and capacity factor design (DCFD) --already implemented in SAC/FEMA guidelines.
Implementing data obtained from alternative non-linear dynamic analysis procedures in this analytic basis
in order to make system reliability assessments.
